大家好,今天来聊聊这叫Orange Pekoe的茶叶,哦,是啥意思呢?可不是啥橘子味的茶,也不是啥喝了会变成橘黄色的茶水。,这Orange Pekoe,原来是茶叶的一个等级名称呢,专门用来形容那些黑茶——像印度啦、斯里兰卡啦,亚洲很多地方产的黑茶呢。平时呢,咱们西方人就习惯用这个词来叫这些黑茶。 那咱说嘞,这Orange Pekoe不是什么特别调配的茶叶,也不是啥特别的茶口味。它只是表示这个茶叶的质量和大小哩。嗯,叶子大些的、嫩些的,才能叫Orange Pekoe,算是好茶了。 为啥叫Orange Pekoe呢?这“Pekoe”嘞,听说是从中国话里误传出来的,原本是指叶子上带的白色绒毛。这“Orange”呢,据说是荷兰人喜欢的皇家名字,他们一开始跟亚洲做茶叶生意时,把这“Orange”字给加上去了。你说这名字听着就高贵哈,皇家味儿。 Orange Pekoe茶的好处嘞,那可不小呢。它有抗氧化的作用呢,这些抗氧化物能帮咱们身体抵挡自由基的坏影响。自由基,整天在咱体内搞破坏,喝这种茶能稍微拦它一拦。听说有些研究说了,Orange Pekoe里的抗氧化物质还能帮助药物打败感染呢,尤其对肠胃的感染有帮助。 不过呢,这Orange Pekoe嘞,跟Earl Grey不是一个东西哦,别弄混了。Earl Grey呢,是黑茶里加了佛手柑的味道,喝起来有股柑橘香气。而这Orange Pekoe呢,就是单纯的黑茶,没有啥额外的味道,就是叶子的等级不同。 那这个Orange Pekoe茶呢,泡法也没啥讲究,跟平时泡黑茶差不多。就是取点茶叶,水温不要太高,泡个几分钟,茶水透亮的就能喝了。味道嘛,和一般黑茶也差不多,只不过叶子质量好些,口感会滑一些。 最后嘞,说说Orange Pekoe茶的分类。其实Orange Pekoe本身呢,还有细分呢! OP – Orange Pekoe:就是普通的Orange Pekoe。 BOP – Broken Orange Pekoe:叶子破了,稍微碎一点,但还是Orange Pekoe呢。 FOP – Flowery Orange Pekoe:这里的“Flowery”不是说花味儿,而是叶子比较嫩的意思呢。 FTGFOP – Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe:这名字听着高大上吧,最顶级的Orange Pekoe,嫩得不行,颜色也金灿灿的。 瞧瞧,这Orange Pekoe的等级还挺多的,看起来很讲究呢。不过咱一般人也不用分那么清,挑个看着顺眼的喝就成了。 好了,今天这Orange Pekoe就给大家聊到这了,真要买来喝呢,也不用太纠结,毕竟这只是茶叶的等级,不代表啥特别的味道。喝茶嘛,舒服最重要喽。 Tags:[Orange Pekoe, Black Tea, Tea […]
