热的夏季，人们往往喜欢喝冷饮消暑，
其实饮茶不仅可以去热降暑、生津止
渴，还可以充分补充体内流失的水分。
三炮台又称“盖碗茶”，是指下有底座、中有
茶碗、上有碗盖的三件套盖碗，因形如炮台，故称
三炮台。三炮台的种类有红糖砖茶，白糖清茶，冰
糖窝窝茶，三香茶，五香茶，八宝茶等。作为回族
的传统茶饮，在甘肃及宁夏回族自治区都以“三炮
台”碗泡“八宝茶”来招待亲友，因为八宝茶喝起
来香甜可口，并有滋阴润肺、清嗓利喉之功效，所
以在中国很多地区风靡。
这种看似简单的传统饮茶方法究竟有什么讲
究和哪些冲泡程序呢？本期工坊将教您制作一杯
营养丰富的“八宝茶”。
During the hot summer months, people often prefer to drink cold drinks to cool down. However, drinking tea can also help the body to cool down, quench thirst by promoting
secretion of saliva and replenish bodily fluids.
Eight-treasure tea, which is served in a three-piece tea set con-
sisting of a saucer, a tea bowl and a lid, is called gai-wan ‘lidded
bowl’ tea. It is also known as sanpaotai ‘three-piece artillery fort’
tea, because the tea set resembles an artillery fort in shape. Sanpao-
tai tea has many variations including brown sugar brick tea, white
sugar green tea, rock sugar tea, tri-flavour tea, penta-flavour tea and
eight-treasure tea. As a traditional tea beverage for the Hui ethnic
group, eight-treasure tea brewed in a sanpaotai tea set is often used
to entertain relatives and friends in Gansu Province and Ningxia
Hui Autonomous Region. The eight-treasure tea has a sweet scented
taste and has many health benefits such as nourishing our yin en-
ergy and improving our lung functions, and clearing a dry throat. It
is, therefore, popular in many areas of China.
What requirements and steps should be followed in preparing
this seemingly simple traditional tea? In this workshop you will
learn how to make a nutritious bowl of eight-treasure tea. 小链接： Notes:
