纳西族聚居于滇西北高原的玉龙雪山和金沙江、澜沧江、雅砻江三江纵横的高寒山区，用茶和酒冲泡调和而成的“龙虎斗”茶，被认为是解表散寒的一味良药，因此，“龙虎斗”茶总是受到纳西族的喜爱。 　　
纳西族喝的“龙虎斗”，制作方法也很奇特。首先用水壶将水烧开，同时另选一只小陶罐，放上适量茶，连罐带茶烘烤。为免使茶叶烤焦，还要不断转动陶罐，使茶叶受热均匀。待茶叶发出焦香时，罐内冲入开水，烧煮3～5分钟。同时，另准备茶盅，一只放上半盅白酒，然后将煮好的茶水冲进盛有白酒的茶盅内。这时，茶盅内就会发出“啪啪”的响声，纳西族将此看作是吉祥的征兆。声音愈响，在场者就愈高兴。
纳西人认为“龙虎斗”还是治感冒的良药，因此，提倡趁热喝下。如此喝茶，香高味酽，提神解渴。但纳西族认为，冲泡“龙虎斗”茶时，只许将茶水倒入白酒中，切不可将白酒倒入茶水内。 　　
纳西族喝的盐茶，其冲泡方法与“龙虎斗”相似，不同的是在预先准备好的茶盅内，放的不是白酒而是食盐。此外，也有不放食盐而改换食油或糖的，分别称为油茶或糖茶。 　　 　

Naxi Ethnic Minority: Fight between Dragon and Tiger Tea and Salty Tea
The Naxi people live on the cold plateau in northwest Yunnan Province where the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain lies and three rivers are running, namely the Jinsha River, the Lancang River and the Yalong River. The fight between dragon and tiger tea, a kind of tea mixed with white spirit mainly distilled from sorghum or maize, is regarded as a good medicine to dispel cold, so it is favored by the Naxi people.
The brewing method of fight between dragon and tiger tea is also very special. First, put some tea in a galipot when the water is boiling on the fire, and then baked the tea together with the pot. To avoid that the tea is singed, one needs to keep on turning the pot to let the tea be heated evenly. When the scent of the tea is baked out, pour the boiling water in the pot and cook it for 3-5 minutes. At the same time, pour the white spirit into a cap-cup with an amount of half cup, and then add the tea into the same cup. When the two kinds of liquid mix together, they will give out crack sound, which is regarded as a good omen by the Naxi people, so louder the sound, happier the people on the spot. The tea is also believed to be a good medicine to cure cold, so better drink the tea when it is still hot. One can refresh oneself through drinking the delicious and strong tea. When making the fight between dragon and tiger tea, one must not pour the white spirit into the tea, but the other way round.
The brewing procedure of the salty tea is similar to that of the fight between dragon and tiger tea, but only replace the white spirit with salt. The Naxi people also make other kinds of tea, such as the oil tea which is made by adding cooking oil and sugar tea by adding sugar.
