It was nearly noon. When it comes to the port area, it is naturally Huang Deding's hospitality.

"Brother, I have a few old friends who heard that you are coming and want to invite you over to sigh for tea" Huang Deding sat in the car, "They said they wanted to see it." looked at the smile on Huang Deding's face, with a hint of excitement. What's there to be excited about eating and drinking tea? Li Zhendong's mind turned slightly: "Hongmen Banquet? ”

Huang Deding was sure and said strangely: "Brother, how do you know Lu Dao?" It's not as serious as you say, and a few people don't believe it, saying that it's a problem for you to try. ”

The vehicle drove to a remote street and arrived at a restaurant, where there were many customers. When Huang Deding took Li Zhendong upstairs, the guy who ran the hall met Lu and said hello, it seems that Huang Deding is a frequent visitor here. Entering a room on the third floor, he found that it was antiquely decorated here, Li Zhendong was a little interested, and it was an elegant thing to sit here and drink tea. There were already seven or eight people waiting in the room.

Seeing Li Zhendong coming in, everyone who was talking was stunned, did Ah Ding make a mistake, is such a child worthy of us to be treated with such a big battle? In fact, everyone has heard Huang Deding mention that Li Zhendong is very young, and always thinks that no matter how young he is, he will be seventeen or eighteen years old. I'm only a teenager.

Huang Deding came in and looked at everyone's expressions, "Hey, I said you, I told you a long time ago that your little brother is only ten years old!" ”。 Everyone is speechless, twelve or thirteen years old is called a teenager, seventeen or eighteen years old is also called a teenager, why don't you make it clear? A group of middle-aged people tried their best to embarrass a child. Huang Deding introduced Li Zhendong to the crowd, this group of people is not only his old friends, tea friends, but also often do business together. Li Zhendong greeted everyone politely, not daring to be big or small. It quickly won the love of those present. Someone suggested that that little trick should be waived? Boss Huang Deding disagreed, "No, it's a good bet." "Hey, the main owner didn't say anything, this one believes that he must win?

The first tea that was taken out made Li Zhendong's eyes light up "good tea". This pot of tea leaves is flat, smooth, straight and sharp, and the buds are longer than the leaves, resembling 'bowl nails', which means that the two ends are pointed, and the middle is like the flat shape of a leek. Everyone sat around the table, holding their breath, for fear of disturbing Li Zhendong. Pulling out a tea strip from the jar and breaking it as soon as it was broken, Li Zhendong put the fragment between his fingers and gently grinded it, and the fragment became a powder, which dried enough.

Pay attention to the five methods when buying tea. When you touch it, it is Li Zhendong who makes a strip to judge the dryness of the tea. When the tea leaves are pinched, they become small pieces, which is not dry enough. When touching, you can't grab a lot, especially when the weather is hot, your hands will be sweaty, the tea will be damp and sweaty, and the tea taste will change. It is also important to note that the aroma will be mixed into the tea leaves when applying skin care products on your hands in winter. Second look: put the tea sample into the plate, no plate can be replaced with white paper, shake both hands counterclockwise, to see whether the shape of the dry tea has the characteristics of the color, whether the color is ideal, but also to see whether the tea is uniform, how well the whole crush is. Three smells: smell the aroma of tea leaves, and identify whether there are peculiar smells such as burnt, acid, mildew, and rot. Four tastings: Put a few dry tea mouths to taste.

Next is the tea tasting, which is brewed instantly. Famous and high-quality green tea does not need to be covered, and other types of tea must be covered. I used a glass because it depends on the shape of the leaf. The soup color is green and bright, the aroma is far away, the careful body taste contains the fragrance of bean flowers, the bottom of the leaves is tender and evenly into small flowers, slim and slim in the tea, look at it again, it seems to be a flag and a gun, staggered and reflected, gently fluttering in the water, slowly sinking and floating, very good-looking. Take a sip and the taste is luscious and refreshing.

The color is green, fragrant, sweet, and beautiful. Li Zhendong raised his head, "This is West Lake Longjing tea, and it is the real Longjing tea." Li Zhendong is very curious, who has such a great ability to get real Longjing tea.

Longjing is the name of the spring, the name of the temple, and the name of the tea. The Longjing tea area of West Lake is centered on Lion Peak, with a radius of about 3,000 meters, and the altitude here is two or three hundred meters. The mountains are densely forested, the climate is mild, and the rainfall is abundant. During the budding period of spring tea, it is often drizzling and mist, forming a unique small environment. The closer to the Lion Peak, the better the quality of the tea.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the old days, West Lake Longjing tea was divided into four categories according to the place of origin. The first type is called real Longjing tea, which is only produced in the area of Lion Peak and Longjing Temple. Li Zhendong is tasting this now; The second category is called: Zhenglu Longjing tea, which is produced in Yunqi, Hupao and Meijiawu; The third category is called: Benshan Longjing tea, Wengjiashan, Yangmeiling, Siyanjing, Jiuxi and other places; The fourth category is called Silu Longjing tea, staying, Shangsi and other places. Later, it was divided into five categories: lion, dragon, cloud, tiger and plum. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Zhejiang Provincial Tea Company was adjusted to three categories: Shifeng Longjing, Meiwu Longjing, and West Lake Longjing in order to simplify the grade. Six or five years later, it was simply cobbled together and collectively known as West Lake Longjing. Longjing tea is the best tea in front of the Ming Dynasty. Longjing tea is fried according to the tenderness of the fresh leaves picked, and there are 'lotus heart', 'flag gun' and 'bird's tongue'.

Many tea-producing areas in Zhejiang Province imitate the picking and frying of West Lake Longjing, which is called Zhejiang Longjing, and this tea is not to be said.

The real Longjing tea is very rare, that is, there is only a very small amount of Longjing tea in West Lake. Li Zhendong suddenly thought: "Could it be that this is made from the eighteen imperial tea trees?" ”

Later generations of Li Zhendong were particularly fond of green tea. Of course, I know about the West Lake Longjing. According to modern scientific analysis, Longjing tea contains more amino acids, catechins, vitamin C, etc. than other teas. The problem is that Li Zhendong can't buy the real Longjing tea in the Longjing of West Lake, and he can't buy it even if he has money! Not available on the market. Just tasted it a few times by chance.

Regarding Li Zhendong's curiosity about the source of tea, everyone did not answer, everyone was a little weird, could it be that this young man is really like Huang Deding said: has he become a sperm? Someone hastened to hand over the second option.

Li Zhendong asked for clean water, rinsed his mouth and tongue, and did this every time before changing a type of tea, and continued to taste. This time it was really an eye-opener, and all the tea that this group of people took out was good tea, all of which were famous products. Huangshan Maofeng tea premium grade in the special grade, the shape is similar to the tongue of a bird, even and strong, the peak is revealed, the color is like ivory, the fish leaves are all yellow, after making tea, the aroma is fragrant and long, the soup color is clear, the bottom of the leaf is tender yellow, fat and strong into flowers, the taste is fresh and thick, mellow and sweet, it is really light and fragrant and cold, and it hits people's teeth and jaws.

Is this Biluochun? The cord is slender, curly like a snail, full of white hair, silver and white with emerald, and the aroma is strong; After brewing tea, the buds and leaves are delicate, the aroma is fresh, the taste is mellow, and the soup color is distinct. This is one tender and three fresh! Li Zhendong sighed, he is really rich, and a pound of top-grade Biluochun requires more than seventy or eighty thousand buds and leaves to make. A Western European poet said after tasting Biluo Spring: In the fragrant Biluo Spring Tea Soup, I saw the bright spring color in the south of the Yangtze River in China.

Lu'an melon slices, and it is also a 'sweet potato slice' produced at the mouth of the bat cave. Lu'an melon slices do not contain bud tips and tea stems. This is the spring tea valley after the rain before the garden is opened, the standard is mainly one bud, two or three leaves. After the fresh leaves are harvested, they have to go through the 'wrench', that is, the first, second, and third leaves are picked and fried respectively, and the tea made from the second leaf becomes 'melon slices'. The tea made from the first leaf is called 'Ti Pian', and the tea made from the third leaf is called 'Plum Pian'.

The high fragrance of Keemun black tea is known as the most fragrant. Qi Hong has apple fragrance, special aroma, tea drinkers call Qimen incense, and the aftertaste is eternal.

After tasting many famous teas in one go, Li Zhendong was very fascinated, but he didn't know that everyone's perception of him had been turned upside down, this, is this possible? Is it impossible to specialize in tea drinking since the mother's womb? Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Fortunately, everyone still has the most rear-handed. This time, the tea stumped Li Zhendong, which also belongs to the category of gongfu black tea, but Li Zhendong can't think of this kind of tea. Min Hong? No! Ninghong, Yihong, Yunnan red, Zhejiang red, Xianghong, Sichuan red, Qianhong, Su Hong, Yinghong? Neither.

Li Zhendong thought nervously, is there any tea that he doesn't know? Black tea is divided into three categories according to the production characteristics: gongfu black tea, small black tea, and black broken tea.

Small black tea? More unlikely! This black tea has a pine smoke scent. Red broken tea, this is not possible! Slow, doesn't seem right, black broken tea? Li Zhendong's thoughts jumped away, and he took another sip of tea, observing the cup for a long time before raising his head, "This tea should be Sri Lanka's alpine black tea, right?" Li Zhendong is not sure, because the memory is far away, although he has experience, he can't remember it clearly.

Huang Deding laughed, "How is it?" Convinced, right? Willing to lose! The crowd around let out a long breath, it's worth it, it's worth losing.
