Chapter 528: Life is like tea

While speaking, the tea has been brewed, poured into the glass of the fair cup, only to see that the tea soup is orange and clear, and the tea fragrance rises with the heat, which is intoxicating.

Jiang Xiaobai divided the tea into the cup.

With yesterday's experience, this time Lin Jiajun also learned to be obedient, and drank it in small sips, but he felt that the mouth was round and smooth, the bottom of the tongue was full of relish, and the orchid aroma was rich.

"This tea really has to be tasted slowly to have a taste."

Lin Jiajun smashed his mouth and said with a smile.

Jiang Shan took a sip and said, "Baba, this tea is so fragrant, why isn't the tea we drank before so fragrant?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "In Qingzhou, we drink green tea, and the aroma of green tea is clearer than that of black tea, green tea and dark tea. ”

Jiang Shan said: "There are so many colors of tea?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "According to the different tea-making processes, there are six categories of tea: green tea, white tea, yellow tea, black tea, green tea and dark tea. ”

"Baba, what kind of tea are we drinking today?" Jiang Shan asked.

Before Jiang Xiaobai could speak, Lin Jiajun spoke first: "Shanshan, the tea we drank today is called Da Hong Pao, and you know that it is black tea when you hear the name, haha......"

Jiang Xiao gave him a blank look, this guy doesn't know how to pretend to understand.

Said lightly: "Shanshan, Da Hong Pao is produced in Wuyi Mountain, although there is a red character in the name, but Da Hong Pao is not black tea, but green tea, also called oolong tea." ”

After speaking, he said to Lin Jiajun: "Brother Jun, you have made a fuss!" ”

Lin Jiajun's face suddenly turned pale, and he said embarrassedly: "I took it for granted!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "It's not just you, in fact, many people think that Da Hong Pao is black tea, and it's all the name that causes trouble." ”

Ding Junjie said: "Brother Jiang, since Da Hong Pao is oolong tea, why did you take the name Da Hong Pao?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Speaking of which, there is a story in this. It is said that in the eighteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, a person named Ding Xianju went to Beijing to take the exam, passed by Wuyi Mountain and got sick and had unbearable abdominal pain, a monk of Tianxin Yongle Temple brought him to the temple, took out his hidden tea leaves to brew for Ding Xian to drink, Ding Xian drank the pain after the illness stopped. Ding Xian came to the temple again after winning the top prize, thanked the monk for saving his life, and asked the monk what tea he gave him at that time, the monk brought Ding Xian to his tea tree, Ding Xian took off his big red robe and draped it on the tea tree, and from then on this tea was called Da Hong Pao. ”

After hearing this, Lin Jiajun couldn't help laughing: "So that's the case!" ”

Ding Junjie said: "Brother Jiang, since you talked about tea, then by the way, tell us about the six major types of tea, so that we don't have a foreign appearance in the future." ”

"Good!"

Jiang Xiaobai agreed and began to speak.

He first talked about the classification basis of the six major tea categories, which is more complicated, he only briefly described that the classification of the six major tea categories is based on the production process, mainly to see the degree of oxidation of tea polyphenols. Among them, green tea is unfermented tea, white tea is slightly fermented tea, yellow tea is slightly fermented tea, black tea is fully fermented tea, oolong tea is semi-fermented tea, and black tea is post-fermented tea.

Subsequently, he talked about the representative teas of the six types of tea.

For example, green tea includes West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Xinyang Maojian and Anji White Tea; White tea has white silver needles, tribute eyebrows, etc.; Yellow tea has Mengding yellow buds, Junshan silver needles, etc.; The varieties of black tea include Yunnan red, Qimen black tea, Zhengshan small species, etc.; Oolong tea includes Tieguanyin, Dancong, and rock tea; Representatives of black tea are pu-erh tea, etc.

Among them is Anji white tea, and the situation is similar to that of Da Hong Pao.

There is a red letter in the name of Da Hong Pao, but it belongs to oolong tea; Anji white tea is called white tea, but it is a real green tea.

These two kinds of tea make the world misunderstand the most.

After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai said: "Actually, in addition to the six major types of tea, there is also a kind of tea called flower tea. ”

Jiang Shan immediately asked, "What kind of tea is flower tea?" Is it made of flowers? ”

A little girl, obviously interested in flowers.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "There are two kinds of flower tea, one is to add flowers to the tea leaves, such as jasmine tea that people in Sichuan and Shu like to drink, and the other is to drink tea directly with flowers, such as chrysanthemum tea in Huizhou." ”

Jiang Shan's big eyes lit up, and she said, "Flower tea, it sounds delicious." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "It is said that life is like tea, and some people combine tea with life experience according to the characteristics of tea. ”

Lin Jiajun listened and said with interest: "Quick, tell me how to combine?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai took a sip of tea before saying: "Life is like tea, when you are fifteen or sixteen years old, it is like flower tea, you can smell a particularly strong floral fragrance before brewing, tea and flowers are mixed together, it is particularly beautiful, just like the sixteen-year-old flower season, which is fascinating." ”

"But the flower tea is not brewed, and the fragrance does not last."

"After two or three soaks, it will be as dull as boiled water."

"This state is like a young man in life, full of youthful vitality, but his mind is not mature, his heart is not calm, and what he lacks is life experience."

When Jiang Xiaobai spoke, the female boss happened to come in to refill the water, and after listening to these remarks, the peach blossom eyes lit up obviously.

She is a tea lover, but this is the first time she has heard such a statement.

After refilling the pot with water, she didn't leave, and said, "Mr. Jiang, listening to you talk about tea, I think it's very interesting, I don't know if I can listen to it too?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Boss, you can listen to it if you want, just don't laugh at me for talking nonsense." ”

The female boss pursed her lips and smiled: "How dare I?" ”

After speaking, he sat quietly aside.

Jiang Xiaobai also continued: "After talking about flower tea, let's talk about green tea. ”

"You have all drunk green tea, after brewing it in a glass, the leaves are green, the tea soup is clear, and the aroma is pervasive when it is first brewed, not as strong as the aroma of flower tea."

"But green tea is better than flower tea, and after four or five brews, it still has a tea taste."

"Green tea is like a young man about twenty years old, youthful and beautiful, full of youthful vitality, and more mature than fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls."

After talking about green tea, Jiang Xiaobai continued to talk about black tea.

In order to make it clear, he also asked the female boss to bring a brew of black tea for Lin Jiajun, Ding Junjie and Jiang Shan to watch.

"You see, compared to green tea, the appearance of black tea doesn't look a little black, and it's a lot rougher."

Ding Junjie and the others all nodded, it was true.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "From the appearance, black tea is not as good-looking as green tea, this is like a person who has gone through adolescence in his twenties, and after entering his thirties, their appearance is no longer beautiful, and they seem to be a little mature." ”

"After black tea is brewed, the aroma is stronger than that of green tea, the color is darker than that of green tea, and black tea is resistant to brewing."

"Flower tea is widowed after three brews, green tea is weak after four or five brews, but black tea still has a tea flavor after six or seven brews."

"It's like people who have experienced more after reaching the age of 30, have more experience, more knowledge, and are more profound."
