|
Eight treasures tea did not gain its name for nothing. Each of the eight ingredients of this very popular drink has its place in classic Chinese medicine, and has a range of health properties, which are strengthened further by the mutually beneficial combination. Mixture no.2 contains the following ingredients:
Bing Tang (rock sugar)
Hong Mei Gui (red rose)
Hong Zao (jujube)
Ju Pi Gan (dried orange peel)
Ning-xia Gou-ji (medlar of Ningxia)
Qian Ri Hong (common globe-amaranth)
Shan Zha (hawthorn)
Shen Pian (gen-seng pieces)
Ba Bao Cha is available on the market in various quality classifications, of which Ji Pin is the highest class. In order to ensure that each prepared drink contains all the ingredients it should, you will find 10 separate portions in the package, each with a weight of approx. 12g. It is suitable to divide rock sugar, which is one of the components of the mixture, into several infusions, of which 3 to 5 are usually prepared, whilst some prefer to drink the beverage entirely without sugar. |

| This excellent drink has been known in China since time immemorial as the best true thirst quencher. However, this Eight treasures tea is drunk not only for its thirst quenching properties and diverse taste. The tea also has properties for reducing body temperature, aiding digestion, relieving fatigue and last but not least restoring appetite. Classical Chinese medicine mentions Ba Bao tea in the context of its ability to supplement and stimulate “chi” energy. Ba Bao Cha takes as its task calming inner agitation and attaining balance, and is frequently offered as a treatment to those suffering from long-term nervous conditions. Eight treasures tea is most often found in northern China, nevertheless there is speculation about its Mongolian origin, and in its style it is reminiscent of Russian tea, which is prepared with pieces of fruit and sugar. Ba Bao Cha produces several infusions, during the course of which both its aroma and taste change. In China it can often be seen in family drinking rituals that the child drinks the first, most aromatic infusion, the wife drinks the second, sweetest infusion, and the husband drinks the third, strongest infusion. |

| Prepare tested water for the tea infusion with which you have experience, or use ordinary tap water which has been left standing for a sufficient period, preferably overnight, ideally rid of chlorine. Pour the content of a small 12g packet into a cup and pour on 350 to 400ml of just boiled water (100°C). Brew for 4-5 minutes and then strain, and leave the mixture prepared for a further infusion. The tea mixture may be left in the infusion during drinking and does not cause bitterness, nevertheless it is better to strain for preparing further (3 to 5) infusions. Crystal sugar, which is one of the components of the mixture, should be divided into several infusions, of which 3 to 5 are usually prepared, whilst some prefer to drink the tea entirely without sugar. |

| Ovocný nápoj sladkokyselé chuti a krásné vůně, dal mi 3 vydatné nálevy, do každého jsem hodil kostku krystalického cukru, který je součástí každé dávky. Když se dívám na složení, tak to bude minimálně tak zdravé jako je to dobré, už se těším na další Ba Bao Cha... |
