Chapter 1115 Tea Tasting
Tea leaves, in . The country has thousands of years of drinking history, because of the high status of tea in Chinese culture, so for thousands of years. The country has formed a very strong tea culture.
And what makes people funny and angry is that there are a group of so-called experts from foreign countries who are questioning. The state of tea origin claims that the tea originated in India rather than in China. country, it sounds funny and angry.
The origin of tea is in . The country has a long history, the earliest according to myths and legends can be traced back to the myths, legends of the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the famous representative legend is Shennong taste a hundred herbs.
The detailed date of tea is recorded in the Western Han Dynasty, in the official historical records. There is a canonical historical record of tea.
According to the law of the development of historical things, tea must be drunk for many years before it can be recorded, so tea is in the middle. The history of drinking in the country should be pushed back at least by hundreds or even thousands of years.
Based on the above information, the so-called disputed place of origin of tea in the world is in the world. The dispute between China and India is simply a group of so-called masters and a group of foreign people who don't know what to do.
Tea leaves in the middle. The age of drinking in China is so long, and as early as the Three Kingdoms era, tea was a high-end drink in the court, at that time drinking tea was a status symbol, and only the scholars and above could drink tea.
Hundreds of years later, until the two Jin Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the continuous development of cultivation techniques, tea was widely spread and became a popular drink.
The most famous evidence is the "Book of Tea" by Lu Yu of the Tang Dynasty. Evidence of the flourishing tea culture of the country.
Tea one of the ways in the middle. The country's thousands of years of history are so splendid, and naturally there are many high-end teas exclusive to the 'aristocratic' class around tea, such as the big red robe growing on the mountain cliff, the eighteen imperial teas and so on.
Despite the fact that history has changed over thousands of years. Dynasties rose and fell, and the so-called exclusive power of the people was established more than 60 years ago, but these top teas are still the exclusive property of the highest ruling class.
And in . Since ancient times, there has been a habit of imitating the upper class, and after many people became rich, they began to imitate the so-called upper class aristocratic life through various channels, and constantly spent a lot of money to prove that they were more noble than others.
For example, tea is like this, drinking 10,000 yuan a pound of tea. It seems to be more noble than a person who is 100 yuan a pound.
Of course, it is undeniable that the price of tea can indeed reflect the difference in the taste of tea
The fourth month of the solar calendar is the solar term before the Qingming Festival of the lunar calendar.
During this time period, it is medium. The most famous pre-Ming tea season in the production of national tea. The country's generally best tea is produced with this season.
At the beginning of April, mid. In Xihu City, the annual tea tasting conference was held on time in Xihu City.
Middle. There are so many people who drink tea in the country, and tea is such a big industry. The annual tea tasting conference, the most prestigious in the country, naturally attracts the participation of major domestic tea merchants, distributors and tea lovers.
With such a big event, it is natural that the media has already begun to track and report on it, whether it is a big media that radiates the whole country. It is also a powerful local media, and a large number of reporters have been sent to participate in the coverage and reporting.
And this unprecedented event makes the hotels in the entire West Lake City close to the exhibition site on the edge of the West Lake full. It was fully occupied by manufacturers and dealers who came to the fair.
The exhibition hall of the tea tasting conference was held in the famous West Lake Venue Center
"Good guy, the scale of this tea tasting is not small!"
Stand outside the center of the West Lake venue. Looking at the flow of people coming in and out of the venue gate, Yunyi not only exclaimed, my country really deserves to be the most prevalent country in the world of tea culture, and a tea tasting meeting is so magnificent.
Holding half a tael of tea leaves that he was going to participate in the tasting this time, Yunyi approached the venue with the flow of people.
The interior of the central hall of the venue is very spacious and magnificent, the internal patio is six or seven stories high, there are several huge crystal chandeliers hanging on the top floor, huge oil paintings and landscape paintings are hung on the four walls, the ground is paved with black marble, and the decoration is splendid.
In the hall of the venue, there are exhibition and sales tables of tea manufacturers, and there are a set or crystal cups, or purple clay pot tea sets on the exhibition and sales tables of tea manufacturers, each tea set is steaming hot, and the fragrance of tea slowly wafts out from the tea set.
In front of the exhibition table of tea manufacturers, there are excited citizens around each other, this exhibition is an annual tea exchange and display ceremony, these tea manufacturers come up with high-quality products, and it is exciting to drink such a good tea for free.
Standing in the hall, Yunyi saw that the entire hall was full of booths, and there were many people drinking tea in front of each booth, which made him sigh that the tea industry is really a market with great potential.
After looking at it for a while, Yun Yi looked around for a high-end tea exhibition center, although it was said that such a hall was full of good tea, but it was too different from the tea that Yun Yi brought.
In addition to some ordinary teas on display in the hall, there must be a special high-end exhibition hall, otherwise teas such as Longjing in the Ming Dynasty, Da Hong Pao, and the best Maojian cannot be aimed at the low-end market like ordinary tea.
After a long walk around the hall, Yun Yi really found a quaint wooden door at the door, compared to other places where people enter and exit at will, it seems that only this place can be the place where the high-end tea fair is located.
Yunyi immediately confirmed that this is the place where high-end tea participates in the exhibition, because according to the habits of the so-called upper-class aristocratic society, it seems impossible for rich people like them to be as 'cheesy' as ordinary people, and the place where they are must be 'elegant', 'unworldly' and 'quiet'.
And like the Qianming Longjing, the special red robe, and the best Maojian can be bought, these one or two people who are often tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people are obviously not ordinary ordinary people, and they must be just a dozen domestic first-class high-end tea gardens, and many people like big bosses, officials + members, well-known upper-class people and so on who don't talk much about the country, hold a tea tasting meeting in this elegant place.
Yun Yi despised these people in his heart, but he didn't know that he was actually the people he despised, and he also had such habits and styles on weekdays, such as the wooden house and villa he built in the mountains and woodlands, as well as the location of Qingshan Academy, and his current manor on the edge of Qingxi Lake, all of which were quiet and elegant.
Carrying the tea leaves, Yun Yi walked towards the wooden door, ready to display his most high-end treasured tea inside.
As for the few people guarding the door who were wearing black suits and ties, who looked like they were either black and stiff, he didn't take it seriously.
A lot of times, like some people who watch the door, the more you walk to the door and feel a little scared that you can't go in, they think that you are suspicious or not strong enough to go in.
Therefore, if you are very confident in your heart and don't take this kind of person in your eyes at all, they generally don't dare to stop you.
Yun Yi naturally understands this mentality, and he himself is indeed full of self-confidence, so he naturally walked inside, but this time he miscalculated.
"Excuse me, sir, do you have an invitation?"
The two bodyguards guarding the door saw Yun Yi go straight inside, they didn't recognize Yun Yi, and Yun Yi didn't give them a post to invite them to participate, so they politely stopped Yun Yi and asked.
"Invitation?"
Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that he would have to invite him to participate in the high-end tea fair.
But think about it, it seems that such a high-end tea tasting meeting is really not something that can be entered if you want to.
"This is the first time I have come to participate in the high-end tea tasting, this time I did not receive an invitation, so there is no invitation, but my tea grade is very high, and eighteen imperial teas are the same grade of grade, it doesn't matter if there is an invitation or not!"
Yun Yi frowned slightly, and was about to continue walking inside as he spoke, but was stopped by several people. (To be continued......)
