Chapter 289: Smelling Cup
Although Matsuda is crazy, he is not a brainless person.
He had already seen the clue when the breath in the pot had just been released, and now under Lu Yu's explanation, his face became even more ugly!
He really looked away, Lu Yu's dark red and wrinkled "mud" pot not only has excellent air permeability, but also can absorb the aroma of tea, if it is a tea for a long time, it is definitely a good pot that tea people dream of!
You must know that although Lu Yu's Zhu Ni Junde pot has not been used for a long time.
But once he is well versed in the way of raising pots, he has been constantly nourishing with Qimen black tea during this time, and he has often wiped it, and in a short period of time, the surface of the pot has a slight luster.
Second, Qimen black tea is one of the three major high-fragrance teas in the world, and there are relatively many natural preserved ones with high aroma.
In this wilderness, between the left and the left, the aroma is naturally particularly pronounced.
When Matsuda Keio saw it at this time, he was immediately shocked, and the people around him were even more surprised.
……
Seeing that Matsuda Keio was silent, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile faintly.
At this time, the work of cleaning the tea set in the warm pot was completed, so he put the Qimen black tea into the Zhu Ni Junde pot with a teaspoon, and then waited for a while, and only after the water temperature had dropped a little before flushing the water into the pot.
The reason why he doesn't brew directly is because the heat retention of the purple clay pot is very good, and if he directly brews the Keemun black tea made with modern technology with boiling water, it is indeed easy to burn the leaf buds, and after the water temperature drops slightly, he will basically not have this worry.
And when flushing, Lu Yu lifted the kettle high with one hand, and the water in the kettle flowed down like an upside-down heavenly river and poured into the kettle without any difference.
Lu Yu said slowly at this time: "This is the method of pouring water into the hanging pot with high flush, which can allow the tea to be fully infiltrated under the agitation of water, so as to give full play to the color, fragrance and taste." ”
His introduction was concise and to the point, and everyone nodded lightly when they heard it.
They originally thought that Lu Yu was just playing with the flushing technique to make the action of making tea look more meaningful, but they never thought that this move would have a deeper meaning. Looking through the spout of the pot, the tea in the pot is indeed tumbling under the high rush of the hanging pot, whether it is the surface of the tea leaves or the tea covered in the deep layer, they are all soaked in water evenly and properly.
Of course, hanging the pot is also a way to reduce the water temperature.
After passing through the tightly controlled slender water flow, the water temperature has been lowered again, which also happens to meet the requirements of brewing Keemun black tea with purple sand.
If it weren't for this step, Lu Yu would have to wait for the water temperature to drop slightly before making tea.
The milky way of tea poured into the pot, and a layer of foam suddenly rose around the spout.
Lu Yu picked up the lid of the pot and gently scraped the foam along the edge of the spout, and then poured the tea water into the fair cup.
And the water in the fair cup did not stay, it was directly picked up by Lu Yu, and rushed into the white porcelain cup that was only in the shape of a cylinder and didn't know what it was for.
All his movements were done in one go, without the slightest stop.
Just when someone was hesitating whether to reach out and take those white porcelain cups to taste the tea soup inside, Lu Yu had already begun to take the next step, opening the lid of the pot again and hanging the pot high!
After filling the pot with water this time, Lu Yu directly covered the lid, picked up a cylindrical white porcelain cup containing tea soup with a smile, and gently poured the tea soup evenly on the Zhu Ni Junde pot.
Then gently put down this cup, and picked up another cup, and it was still the same.
In this process, Lu Yu also said softly: "A good pot is like a beautiful jade, all of which must be nourished, the pot is a tea student, and the fragrance of tea helps the rhyme of tea." Tea is also raised in a pot, and the essence of tea is put into the pot, complementing each other is the way of benevolence and symbiosis. ”
His voice was unhurried, as if he were telling ordinary things.
In the eyes of everyone, Lu Yu smiled and his eyes were bright, and the tea soup was poured on the pot and disappeared without a trace, as if it was really absorbed by this teapot as he said.
During the whole process, Lu Yu's words were only three or two sentences, but everyone suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had changed, as if the tea and the pot were integrated, and man and nature were integrated, Lu Yu did not sit here to make tea not long ago, but he had been here since ancient times, he should have been here, and he had become the most harmonious part of this earth.
Under the influence of this atmosphere, everyone feels a sense of peace that comes from the deepest part of their hearts.
Even if the surrounding mountains and old forests are dark, even if the tea table is just a temporary boulder, even if the tea utensils are not exquisite and chic.
But it is more freehand and comfortable than any picturesque landscape and splendid palace, and more freehand than any beautiful music.
It seems that there is only one pot between heaven and earth, and under the ethereal fragrance of tea and the dense water vapor, the pot must be an indescribable and desirable jade dew elixir.
The way of all laws is ultimately natural......
For no reason, these eight words suddenly rose in Matsuda Keio's mind, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
Could it be that Lu Yu's tea ceremony has reached such a high level? This is not a deliberately created splendor and solemnity, but a real harmony with nature! How can Huaxia have such a strong way of tea?
On the other hand, Lu Yu didn't know anything about the performance of the people around him, or didn't pay attention to it at all.
He poured all his body and mind into tea, and he only had tea in his eyes and heart, just like the vast nature of the vast universe, which would not change because of any change in it, and everything came from the rhythm of instinct.
After all the tea soup was poured on the teapot, Lu Yu gently lifted the teapot with a light breath and poured the red bright tea soup in the pot into the fair cup.
Immediately, he put the teapot aside, picked up the fair cup and poured the cylindrical white porcelain cups into the tea soup again, and the fragrance of the tea was full of seven points.
Is it finally ready to taste?
There were already people around who were ready to move, but some people were also a little surprised to look at those cylindrical white porcelain cups, did Lu Yu want us to drink tea with this tall cup?
It was only at this time that Lu Yu continued to introduce: "Don't misunderstand, this cup is only for smelling incense, and it is called a fragrant cup." ”
Smelling glass?
Everyone was stunned, and after Matsuda Keio pondered for a while, he didn't dare to speak wildly, but asked in a tone of a student's question: "Are we holding this teacup and smelling the tea?"
Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Of course not, the fragrance of tea naturally needs to be empty in the aftertaste." ”
Empty cups?
Keio Matsuda was stunned, and finally couldn't help laughing!
"Hehe, I thought that Mr. Lu's tea ceremony was exquisite, but I didn't expect to learn my technique to pour out the essence of the tea soup! Hmph, what kind of Chinese tea ceremony is this? It's just a parrot of my Dongying one-time meeting!"
Everyone around them also sank in their hearts when they heard this, and just now Lu Yu also criticized Matsuda Keio for cleaning the teacups with essence tea soup as a waste, and did not give full play to the value of tea soup. And now I have to smell the same way.
Isn't that a slap in the face? And it's too fast!
