Diao Guanghe took the phone and flipped through a few photos slightly.

With a look that gradually became serious.

"Yes, looking at the leaves, tree shape, and environment, this is a wild tea tree, which should be hundreds of years old, and it is indeed relatively rare."

Diao Guanghe nodded for a while, more calm.

There is no such surprise as if you were a treasure.

After all, he is a tea ceremony connoisseur and has seen the world.

Although the wild tea tree is rare, it is not unique.

"Wild tea tree?" Diao Yu'er leaned over, "There is something special, a bud that blooms slightly upward." Is it precious? ”

Lei Yuran also leaned to the other side, stared at his phone, and pouted, What's so strange about this?

"Rare doesn't mean it's a good tea, and it doesn't prove that it's precious." Diao Guanghe shook his head.

He then explained in depth: "Before humans knew how to cultivate and utilize, tea plants were wild.

"As early as more than 1,700 years ago, wild tea trees were discovered in China.

"At present, there are 198 areas in the country where wild tea trees have been found.

"For example, the No. 1 tea tree in Qianjiazhai in southern Yunnan is 2,450 meters above sea level, and experts have verified that its age is 2,700 years; The No. 2 large tea tree, at an altitude of 2,280 meters, is 2,500 years old......

"This is a tea tree that has not been cultivated and domesticated by humans and is used in large quantities.

More specifically, the academic community has defined a classification called the tea group, which contains 37 tea species, and the "tea" currently cultivated and utilized by countries around the world is a "species" in the tea group.

"Wild tea" in the scientific sense is a related tea plant other than the "tea family" in agriculture, which has not been domesticated and cultivated.

More specifically, tea plants other than tea species and Pu'er tea species can basically be called "wild tea", and this type of tea cannot even be called tea. ”

Diao Guang talked with each other, but he was also willing to talk to laymen in detail.

Ye Xiaofan pondered.

Lei Yuran looked suddenly enlightened, "Oh, so, is it a big red robe or Tieguanyin or some other tea?" ”

Diao Guanghe was stunned for a moment, he didn't explain clearly enough, no matter how novice he was, he shouldn't ask such a question.

Diao Yu'er tilted her head, "What's wrong?" ”

Diao Guanghe shook his head helplessly, "No...... Lei Shao laughed. There are many ways to name it, it's like giving people a nickname.

"The same is true for tea, which is divided according to the shape, and is called Mao Feng, Mao Jian, Yin Feng, Silver Needle, Peony and so on.

"According to the picking period and season, there are sayings such as spring exploration, the next spring, next spring, and before the rain.

"According to the tea-making technology of fried green, baked green, steamed green, gongfu black tea, etc., according to the variety of tea trees, there are cinnamon, narcissus, Tieguanyin, etc

"According to the color and processing method of tea, black tea, green tea, green tea, yellow tea, black tea, white tea six major tea categories, black tea is the most famous is Qimen black tea.

"Green tea, West Lake Longjing, Dongting Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng, etc., like Dahongpao, Tieguanyin is green tea, also known as oolong tea......"

"According to the name of the place of origin, there are West Lake Longjing, Dongting Biluochun, Wuyi Rock Tea...... The big red robe you are talking about is actually another name for Wuyi rock tea.

"More specifically, such as the mother tree big red robe, brand big red robe, etc., I won't go into details, otherwise I won't be able to finish it for three days and three nights.

"Lei Shao is really interested, you can come often in the future, and I will explain them to you one by one."

Diao Guanghe further explained the tea tree.

He asked rhetorically: "Which kind of tea plants do you think you belong to?" ”

Lei Yuran thought for a moment, "Wild tea? ”

Diao Guanghe breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, "The son can be taught." Let's talk about the word wild.

"It's possible that it's completely innate, without any human intervention.

"There are also ancestors who once planted tea trees who left the area where they lived due to ethnic migration, war, natural disasters and other reasons.

Or maybe the tea seeds on the tree were taken by other animals to the mountains and took root.

"I haven't done a field trip, and I'm not a scientist, so I can't go any further."

He changed his words, "It can be determined that this belongs to the natural type of wild tea." Correspondingly, cultivated wild tea and cultivated ordinary tea.

"Tea saint Lu Yu said, 'The wild ones are up, and the gardeners are second', thinking that the wild ones are better.

"There is also the influence of the idea of 'Chongye' in recent years, from wild vegetables, wild mushrooms, wild boars and wild fish and other wild meat.

"Therefore, there has been a craze in tea, hyping wilderness tea, ancient tree tea, etc., that is, artificially made cultivated wild tea, which are more expensive, and if they are genuine, the quality will indeed be better.

“……”

Diao Guanghe was detailed for a long time.

"So, this natural wild tea tree is likely to be slightly poisonous and cannot be widely used and drunk?"

Ye Xiaofan was thoughtful.

"It's generally like that. However, this wild tea often has a bitter taste, which can easily cause symptoms such as diarrhea, unstable blood pressure, and dizziness, and is not suitable for drinking. There are very few people who can make tea.

"You must know that even if this wild tea can be drunk, if you want to make it into a product and launch it, you need complicated development processes, toxicology experiments, and so on."

This is the reason why Diao Guanghe is not very interested in wild tea, and he is not interested in following the trend to cultivate wild tea.

On the other hand, when Ye Xiaofan came to ask about this thing, it was naturally out of importance, and it was impossible to transfer it to others.

Otherwise, among Diao Guang and some friends, there may be some people who are interested in this.

"Thank you, Master Diao, for your doubts." Ye Xiaofan thanked.

"Hehe, no thanks. It's a good thing that young people are interested in tea, and if you don't understand anything about tea, you can come to consult at any time, and when you're fine, come to me for tea. ”

Diao Guanghe was generous and continued to explain the tea ceremony with them.

"Yu'er, you greet two friends. Xiao Lin, take out my box of treasured Biluochun and soak it.

"I asked my friends to play mahjong, and they are still waiting."

Diao Guanghe got up with a smile and was about to continue playing mahjong with his friends.

Manners are chic and courteous.

After he left, Diao Yu'er was a little proud, "My uncle is amazing, right?" He is one of the best in the tea ceremony. Of course, the treasure must be a good thing, and he usually doesn't see him take it out. ”

Ye Xiaofan nodded.

"Xiaofan, can you make tea from that wild tea tree? You can try it, maybe it tastes better. Lei Yuran asked.

"Yuran, are you stupid? Do you think you can soak it just by picking the leaves? Tea leaves also have to go through the process of picking, withering, fermentation, and finishing. ”

"Ah, isn't that very simple? Three-legged toads are hard to find, two-legged roasted tea masters, aren't they everywhere? Isn't your second uncle ready-made? ”

"What the hell are you, can you speak?!"

“……”

The two were arguing.

Ye Xiaofan smiled, "Let's take a look first, don't say it, the ornamentality is quite high, I am going to dig it down and plant it first, and cultivate it for a while." ”

He is not a tea lover, whether he can drink it or not can only be left to fate.

It is suitable for drinking, it is the best, but it is not suitable, so it is planted in Beishan and used as an ornamental tree.

"That's right. I'll go check it out to you when I'm free. Diao Yu'er's eyes lit up slightly, "It's really beautiful." ”

"Yo yo, the meaning of drunkenness is not in wine." Lei Yuran continued to be yin and yang, "Are you going to see the tree?" ”

"Get out!" Diao Yu'er couldn't wait to tear his mouth off.

"Yuran, Yu'er, you keep drinking, I still have something."

Ye Xiaofan's doubts in his heart were answered, and he had a lot of things at hand, so he didn't have the leisure to drink tea here for the time being.
