Tea making: Put a proper amount of bamboo heart tea into a bowl, brew it with boiling water, and drink it after 3-5 minutes.

In tea, there are not only green bamboo tea, but also bamboo heart tea.

Bamboo core tea, also known as bamboo core tea or bamboo tube fragrant tea, is a unique tea beverage of Dai people. Dai people have lived in the south and west of Yunnan for generations, and Xishuangbanna is the most concentrated place. This is a nation that is good at singing and dancing, hospitable and fond of bamboo. The method of making and baking bamboo heart tea by Dai people is very strange, which is generally divided into five steps:

Tea irrigation: it is to pick fresh and tender raw tea, put it into a tender bamboo tube with a growth period of about one year, and pour tea layer by layer.

Baking tea: put the bamboo tube with tea leaves on the edge of the fire pit to bake. In order to make the tea in the bamboo tube heated evenly, the bamboo tube is usually kneaded every 4-5 minutes. When the color of the bamboo tube changes from green to yellow, it means that the tea in the tube has been baked.

Take tea: after the tea leaves are baked, split the bamboo tube with a knife to expose the bamboo heart, which becomes a fragrant bamboo heart tea.

Tea making: Put a proper amount of bamboo heart tea into a bowl, brew it with boiling water, and drink it after 3-5 minutes.

Drinking tea: Bamboo-heart tea has both the fragrance of tea and bamboo, so it tastes refreshing. No wonder Dai compatriots, regardless of gender and age, love to drink bamboo heart tea.
