After reading the above answer, I am in distress situation. Seemingly simple, in fact, I have lost my foundation. I want to learn tea art and understand tea. I think the most fundamental thing is to understand what the correct definition of tea art is. Tea art is a skill, at least in Tiansheng Tea Art Training School, a school that only conducts short-term tea art training courses 1 1 year.
Learning tea art is not for performance, nor for certificate. Different from most tea artist training institutions, the tea artist's professional qualification certificate is specially written with tea artist's qualification certificate or tea artist's certificate, which makes people mistakenly think that having a tea artist's professional qualification certificate is a false illusion of a tea artist. Most people in China are so led by the nose. More than 95% of the so-called tea artists in China have participated in primary, intermediate and advanced "tea artist training courses".
Some people say that I bow down to the masters in Taiwan Province Province or the tea experts in China. Do you really think the master knows everything? Ask the master of Pu 'er tea what he knows about Tieguanyin. Ask the Fuding white tea master near Anxi or the rock tea master in Wuyishan. Do they dare to say that they are also masters of Tieguanyin? Tea, that's not true. Unlike learning computers, every computer is similar. Even if you are familiar with domestic computers, it will take some time to get used to Apple's system. Therefore, tea is not a so-called master, but omnipotent.
Oolong tea in Taiwan Province Province is only a small part of oolong tea. Chinese mainland has Guangdong Oolong Tea, Fujian Minnan Oolong Tea and Fujian Northern Oolong Tea. The master of Taiwan Province Province is not omnipotent. Behind the rapid development of the current tea industry, the name of tea in Taiwan Province Province has already fallen behind our imagination. Don't brag about yourself with any tricks, and don't add resistance to your tea study. It's totally unnecessary.
Now the real masters of tea art are all in full-time tea art training schools, and their knowledge of six kinds of tea is more practical and comprehensive than that of the tea department of the university, because they have the ability of continuous exploration and have their own time to practice in various tea-producing areas. Sometimes, they can live in Chashan for several months. I think the feasibility of tea experts or professors is much less. When tea was booming a few years ago, they had no time to study and study.
In addition, one's own knowledge and skills in tea science are only the first step in teaching. Whether a person is really a tea teacher needs more important summative teaching. We should simplify complex things and make them easy to understand. Compared with zero-based students, they can also know, understand and even like tea, and make tea scientifically by teaching some tea learning skills, and finally get to know friends to drink tea healthily.
So, where can I learn tea art? Starting from tea science, starting from the origin of tea leaves, starting from the processing steps and principles of tea leaves, starting from the evaluation of the shape, color, fragrance, taste and taste of tea leaves, starting from the selection of suitable tea sets and water, and mastering the water temperature and soaking time according to the characteristics of tea leaves, everything revolves around making tea leaves play their best role and brewing excellent tea soup with good fragrance.
Just mistake the performance of the tea-making process for tea art and the professional qualification certificates of junior, intermediate and senior tea artists for tea artists, people will think that tea art is fun and easy to learn, just ask individuals. These are superficial behaviors of selling books and tea.
