Chapter 79: Tea Zen Taste
White mountain boiled tea can be said to be very particular.
A set of tea sets is also quite high-end.
It can be seen that this set of Ru porcelain tea ware is from Bai Chongshan's own hand.
The hot water boiled by Bai Chongshan first warmed the teapot and tea cup, and then began to make tea.
"This Icelandic Pu'er is also a raw tea, with a very strong fruit wood aroma, especially the old tea for a long time, drink a sip, the aftertaste is endless. Bai Chongshan said with a smile.
"So the disciple is very lucky, every time he comes over, he can meet the good tea of the old man Bai. Xiao Zhang also echoed.
Bai Chongshan, a person like him, couldn't listen to the praise of others, nodded with satisfaction, and then poured the first brew of tea on the tea pet on the side.
He still said with words in his mouth: "This first cup is for the ancestor ......."
About tea pets, Xiao Zhang still knows, many people now will put a tea pet on the tea table when drinking tea, some are three-legged golden cicadas, some are crabs, some are pigs, and some are small ornaments such as lychees.
Every time you wash the tea, drink the rest of the tea, and brew the tea for a long time, all of them are poured up, let's not say that it is vassal, it is elegant, and it is also a good name in raising a tea pet, you see that my tea pet is full of old tea stains......
In fact, this is not the case, what is the meaning of the earliest tea pet?
Because each line has its own ancestors, such as the second master of the martial saint Guan who believes in the dart, and will kneel down to worship the second master Guan before every dart.
This tea drinker also has his own ancestors.
The tea saint is Lu Yu.
The ancestor of all the tea people in the world.
In the earliest days, tea drinkers all believed in the tea saint, fired a small porcelain figure of the ancestor, put it on their own tea table, every time they drank tea, they would pour the first cup on the porcelain statue of the tea saint, and they had to read it on their mouths, and the first cup of tea was given to the grandfather, and the grandfather tasted the tea taste of the disciples......
So listening to the words in Bai Chongshan's mouth, Xiao Zhang knew that Bai Chongshan was a person who really understood tea.
"This old tea is all brewed, and the first and second brews, or even the third brew, can't be brewed. Bai Chongshan said to Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang nodded, the old tea is indeed difficult to brew, and the highest amount of hot water is 100 degrees, but this old Pu'er doesn't seem to be able to even soak 100 degrees of water.
Especially in the middle of this tea cake, it is difficult to open it with a tea knife.
Xiao Zhang used to cut tea bricks and tea cakes, the more pressed in the middle, the more solid, and the more difficult it is to brew, many times three consecutive brews can only open the branches.
Therefore, some very ordinary teas, only four or five bubbles are completely tasteless, and this old Pu'er, three or five bubbles have just been brewed, seven or eight bubbles have just come out, after more than a dozen bubbles, the taste is sweet, the color is bright, and it is barely felt that it is time to reach twenty bubbles.
Nearly thirty bubbles can be considered completely soaked.
Bai Chongshan finally poured the tea into the fair cup when it was almost the third brew, and then poured bright tea soup into Xiao Zhang's tea cup and his master's cup respectively.
"Come on, stinky boy, taste it. Bai Chongshan said with a smile.
Xiao Zhang nodded, took the tea cup handed over by Bai Chongshan, and smelled it gently, the rich tea fragrance was refreshing.
Xiao Zhang took a sip beautifully, leaving a fragrant lip on his lips.
Rich fruity aroma surrounds the lips and teeth.
This is also the reason why many people like to drink pu-erh.
Because the most fundamental feature of Pu'er tea comes from the fact that it is an antique that can be drunk.
Tea leaves are generally the freshest to drink, such as the new tea of West Lake Longjing every year, before and after the rain.
But Pu'er tea is the only tea with vitality in the tea, it can breathe in nature, continue to ferment in the air, the longer the storage, the more mellow the tea aroma, the aroma is sharp and lasting, this is the unique fragrance type unique to the large leaf species, the taste is strong, mellow and steady, the soup color is red and bright, the older the more fragrant, with the extension of the aging period, the better the quality.
Icelandic Pu'er is like this, the aroma is very soft, accompanied by the tea soup, the cup is long-lasting and unassuming, and the taste is mainly flowery, fruity and woody, just like rock sugar orange.
Tasting Icelandic Pu'er, the first thing to look at is the leaf shape, of course, the current Xiao Zhang can't see the shape of the tea leaves in the Ru porcelain teapot.
The second is to look at the aroma.
The third is to look at the color of the soup, the first two openings of the soup are slightly turbid, and the first two bubbles begin to turn yellow.
The fourth taste is back to Ganshengjin.
The fifth is the degree of foam resistance.
The sixth is to look at the tea residue at the bottom of the tea.
The last thing is to experience the throat rhyme.
The throat rhyme of Icelandic tea can be perceived in the whole process of drinking, this feeling is different from person to person, that is, the throat of the tea aroma and the follow-up experience of the shengjin element, if you feel the lingering fragrance between the teeth and cheeks, if there is nothing, the rain is moisturized, the mouth is pleasant, the body and mind are happy, then it has to be said that the drinking Icelandic Pu'er has been a hall.
Xiao Zhang can be said to be so, and Bai Chongshan is even more so.
As for his master Tang Qingchuan?
I don't think I've ever been so particular about it......
At least Xiao Zhang hasn't seen it.
What's more is to see my teacher use the small teapot given by the master of the purple clay pot by his good friend and drink it directly to his mouth.
The taste of that tea was very strong and bitter, and Xiao Zhang felt that it was very likely to be rock tea......
Otherwise, how can he be worthy of Master Tang......
There is also a chain of contempt in this tea circle.
The first is to drink rock tea, and those who drink rock tea can't look down on all teas......
The second is Pu'er tea, and those who drink Pu'er tea don't look down on oolong tea.
Those who drink oolong tea look down on those who drink green tea.
Those who drink green tea look down on those who drink jasmine tea.
Those who drink jasmine tea look down on those who drink herbal tea.
Those who drink herbal tea look down on those who drink Master Kong's iced black tea......
Well, drinking drinks and feeling that those who drink tea are pretending to be forced......
Therefore, only the rock tea at the highest level in the circle is worthy of the identity of Tang Qingchuan, the highest master of the circle.
It's just that you've been drinking it one bite at a time, and you're blind to that rock tea.
Soon, Xiao Zhang drank the tea in the teacup, and Bai Chongshan added another cup.
"Xiao Zhang, what is the matter with coming to me today?" Bai Chongshan actually had a mirror in his heart.
This Xiao Zhang is fine, so he won't come to himself.
"Haha, I can't hide it from Old Man Bai, in fact, Xiao Zhang really has something to discuss with Old Man Bai. Xiao Zhang put down the teacup and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's hear it. Bai Chongshan nodded and said.
Xiao Zhang then took the bag he was carrying and took out a wooden box from inside.
Xiao Zhang placed the wooden box on Bai Chongshan's large tea table.
This Hainan Huanghuali tea table, which is known as the 10 million-level tea table, has a shiny surface and clear and beautiful textures.
Xiao Zhang touched it lightly...... It's really attractive, if you take advantage of Bai Chongshan's absence, I don't know what to do if I saw off a bead to go back to the car......
"I have a piece of Ru porcelain here that I want to give Old Man Bai a look at, you have to be respected in the circle, give me a palm. Xiao Zhang said with a smile and handed over the box in his hand.
