The tea set Ye Chen brought was two large porcelain bowls, but when he arrived at Qingshan Town, Li Zhi prepared a black ceramic bowl, a tea whisk, a teapot and a charcoal stove for Ye Chen.

"Master Ye, I heard that you restored the historical tea dragon group Shengxue, we came to observe it, don't mind. "Wang Jianming, the director of Furong Tea Industry, Ye Chen used to sell green tea in him. In addition to Wang Jianming, there are more than a dozen other people, including tea masters, tea industry owners and people they don't know.

"Don't mind. Ye Chen took out the tools for grinding tea and developed tea powder on the spot: "Song Shidou tea, one looks at the color of tea, and the other looks at the camellia." Tea is pure white first, followed by green and white, gray and white, and yellow and white. Brown is the color of tea balls and tea leaves ground into powder......"

The tea ball that Ye Chen took out was double hundred on the surface and green on the inside. The ground tea powder is blue and white, very subtle tea powder, very magical.

When grinding, you can already smell the natural fragrance of the tea leaves.

Ye Chen cut off four or five grams of tea cubes and grinded them for a full three minutes.

In modern times, slightly more upscale tea houses have some tea.

Tea whisk and matcha, entry-level operation, experience the tea style of the Song Dynasty......

The first step is to wash the tea set, tea bowl and tea whisk, and wash it twice with hot water.

Tea house, Zhao Jiyang showed Ye Chen the information last night, and most of the tea used was bagged tea powder. The craftsmanship is not so exquisite......

Ye Chen himself is not a person who is very particular, the ground tea powder is poured into the black porcelain tea bowl, and the black porcelain can highlight the color of the tea even more. Pour in hot water, wet the tea powder first, stir with a tea whisk to make the tea powder and water fuse, then pour boiling water, and use the tea whisk to continuously beat the tea soup......

Teal tea soup, blue and white camellia (foam).

The tea powder is ground very delicately, the soup is pointed, the whisk is used, only a few tea leaves are used, but a layer of sticky cake-like white appears in the tea cup, like a cold noodle soup, commonly known as cold porridge noodles. This is a very small tea foam, tightly sticky together, sticking to the edge of the inner wall of the tea cup, gathering for a long time.

"What's going on?" Ye Chen finished the operation and looked at Li Zhi.

"It's not a modern thing, it seems to be ......" Li Zhi's face was slightly depressed.

Ye Chen looked at the extremely delicate layer of tea foam in the tea cup, and the pale blue and white color covered the blue color of the tea soup itself. If you use the dragon group Shengxue made from early spring tea leaves, you may really be able to reach the realm of 'pure white supremacy': "This is what the ancient people played. ”

Li Zhi didn't know much about this, but the old man who provided Li Zhi with a tea set was full of joy: "The best in the world." The dragon group Shengxue made by Xiaoyou, the craftsmanship should not be bad, but it is just a problem in the selection of materials and seasons. ”

The old man hadn't spoken before, standing in the crowd, Ye Chen didn't pay much attention, and nodded with a smile.

"This is Chang Jichun, Mr. Chang Lao. Li Zhi smiled and introduced: "Ye Chen, my nephew." The top-quality tea made was sold for more than 30,000 catties and exported abroad. Chang Lao is looking for good tea, why don't you go and have a look?"

"I can't afford this kind of good tea, I can't afford it. Chang Jichun shook his head again and again, not because he couldn't afford it, but because he thought it wasn't worth it. Qingshan Town, this place, produces more than 30,000 pounds of tea?

The main reason for the price of tea is by no means whether the tea is good or bad.

In fact, there is no clear criterion for judging the quality of tea, generally speaking, a thousand yuan and a pound of tea will be the sky, and the tea and production process can be called perfect.

The tea leaves that can be sold at sky-high prices are mostly famous teas and meaningful teas. For example, the big red robe on the cliff of Wuyi Mountain, there are only three tea trees here, which are famous enough and of excellent quality, with an annual output of less than one kilogram. These tea trees have long since stopped picking, and they are not the tea products circulating in the market.

The luxury tea circulating on the market, the royal brand West Lake Longjing Ming Qian special grade royal eighteen, the market circulation price is 12,000, 120 grams. Production is also extremely scarce. Then there is the old Pu'er tea, Pu'er tea in the eighties, 357 grams of a cake, and now the price is as high as 130,000, but this thing is used for collection, and there are very few stocks in the world......

The most expensive in the green tea category should be the Nondao series under Zhuyeqing, and the most expensive of them should be 'Dahan Chunqiu', with a 207-gram pack and a price of nearly 30,000 yuan.

These sky-high teas are all famous teas without exception.

Qingshan Town is in Mengshan, not Mengding Mountain. Although these two places are not far apart, they are completely two different concepts. Mengding Mountain is very famous, and the most expensive tea is only tens of thousands of yuan a catty. And Mengshan, which is not well known, even made tens of thousands of catties of tea, which is still green tea.

Chang Jichun stared at Ye Chen, he had been in Qingshan Town for two or three days, tasting tea and looking for tea, he had already heard about Ye Chen, a kilogram of 10,000 US dollars, sold to two foreigners, it was estimated that he was bullying foreigners and did not know how to do it.

Ye Chen glanced at Old Man Chang, didn't pay much attention to him, and took out three other tea powders: "I grinded the tea leaves at home last night. Chenshan small species special grade, Chenshan small species first grade and Chenshan nectar, tea powder...... There is a saying that there is no harm without contrast. I'll use the tea powder of the premium tea leaves to show you......"

The tea powder of the three tea leaves, the ointment and soup, the tea foam that comes out is more obvious, and the tea cup can't be bitten, and it quickly disperses. On the other hand, Longtuan Shengxue, the 'cold porridge noodles' in the tea cup are still the same, and there has not changed much. That's how it gets everyone's attention.

"Will Xiaoyou share tea?" asked Chang Jichun.

"This ...... I was born with a bad art cell. ”

Chang Jichun smiled: "If you don't mind, how about I show you a hand?"

"Of course ......"

In the Song Dynasty, tea fighting reached its peak, and the third competition of tea fighting was 'tea sharing'.

Dividing tea is similar to the current latte art, but it is very different.

There are two ways to divide tea, one is to use 'stir', because it can be in direct contact with the soup noodles, it is easier to master. The other is to directly "inject" the soup flowers...... The method is to use a single-hand pot to pour boiling water into the cup where the tea powder is placed from top to bottom, so that the pot immediately forms a changing scene. This method is called "the art of the tea craftsman" by Tao Gu.

Chang Jichun uses 'stirring', only using a tea whisk, and sketches the bamboo figure in the tea cup three or two times, which is skillful, and it seems that it used to be played often.

The bamboo is outlined, revealing the soup base, but it is not the same as modern tea powder, and the soup color is translucent. Surprising, shocking......

Chang Jichun is a veteran of tea and runs several high-end tea houses. He has a deep study of ancient tea, especially Song tea. A few years ago, several tea masters joined forces to restore the treasure of Longtuan Shengxue. At that time, it caused a great sensation in the tea art circle, and the tea products produced were decent, but they were far from the records in the ancient books, and they could not even compare with the tea products used by the rich people of the Song Dynasty to fight tea.

First of all, the camellia should be the same color as the end of the tea, pure white first. Not to mention that there is no pure white tea ball, the brewed tea soup, the tea powder floats on the surface and is the same as the paste, and the paste is covered with a layer of tea foam, and the color is only a little lighter than the paste.
