Zhen Xuan used snow water to make tea for the emperor. Is it really good for your health?

Snow water can be used to make tea, but it must be clean and pollution-free. The environment in ancient times was much better than now. It was simple for the ancients to collect snow water, but in modern times, the air quality is poor and the air pollution is serious. Snow will be mixed with many pollutants, so that snow water can not be drunk. Some people have measured the snow in heavily polluted industrial and mining areas and found that there are too many pollutants, including mercury, arsenic, fluorine, alum, sulfur and other pollutants, which far exceed the maximum allowable amount stipulated by the state, and these substances are very harmful to human health.

Romance, wine, tea and chess are all extremely elegant things, and their combination is even more elegant. As a result, such acts as inviting the moon to drink, sweeping snow and making tea are talked about by people, and are widely read by literati and poets, and there are countless poems handed down. If you really want to make tea with snow water, you must break through these layers of beautification to correctly understand the water quality and efficacy of snow water, as well as the methods of storage and use.
