Dongling white tea is suitable for brewing in a glass teacup, as the tip of the bud is infiltrated with hot water, part of it sinks to the bottom of the cup, and the other part is still floating above, the leaves are white and green, a bud and a leaf are gradually stretched in the spring water, the bud head is fat and even, fresh and golden, and it is more fresh and tender than the tea before the rain.

With the fragrance of tea, the tea soup becomes tender green and bright, clear as a green spring, and the color is lighter, not as rich as green tea.

Boss Gong stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, "Please." ”

Ye Han picked up the glass teacup and took a sip with his eyes down.

It's really different from the tea you usually drink.

White tea does not have the astringency of green tea without fermentation, the taste is mellow and sweet, and even has a slight sweetness, and the tea aroma is light and long-lasting.

It feels like walking through a tea plantation in the mist, picking a few fresh green shoots in the drizzle.

The bud is located at the top of the branch, resembling a phoenix feather, the color is slightly white, fatter than the surrounding leaves, after brewing with spring water, it shows full of freshness, tenderness, clarity and elegance.

Such a good tea can be felt by even those who have not studied tea and the quality is extraordinary.

Just look at its appearance, color, soup color, and smell the fragrance of tea, you will know that it is not bad.

Ye Han took a few more sips, smiled lightly in Boss Gong's slightly apprehensive gaze, and praised: "Good tea." If I'm not mistaken, it should be the first tea picked in front of the Ming Dynasty, and the buds are full and very tender. ”

"You're right, it's Ming Qiantoucai." Boss Gong smiled, "It seems that Yuan Yuan Ye is also a person who understands tea." ”

Tea is generally picked in spring, divided into Ming Qian Tou, Ming Qian Tea (two picking), and Yu Qian tea, and the price is from high to low, with a big gap.

Of course, tea can be picked in all seasons, but at other times, leaves are picked instead of buds, and the quality is naturally not high.

As the saying goes: Ming Qian tea is as expensive as gold.

The first pick before the Ming Dynasty is the freshest and most fat buds, the buds are longer than the leaves, usually 5-60,000 buds can be fried to make a pound of fine tea, which is relatively rare.

Boss Gong entertained Ye Han with tea picking in front of the Ming Dynasty, and the brewed water is the highest quality mineral water, extracted and filtered from the mountain spring water, without a little impurity, and has a sweet taste.

This is the top standard for entertaining customers.

Fortunately, the other party is a person who knows the goods. ’

Boss Gong was a little relieved, feeling that the business was already halfway.

Tea is to be tasted by those who will taste it to feel its value, in case you can't taste it, it is useless to play the piano to the cow.

The quality of his family's tea is better than that of other tea gardens, but the gap is only between half and one grade, and only those who understand tea can taste the difference.

Originally, he was worried that the head of the garden was young and couldn't feel the quality of tea, but he didn't expect that he was actually a person who understood tea.

Ye Han didn't study much about tea, but since she decided to open a beverage store and create a main collection, she has begun to taste and study various types of tea.

Especially the proportion of osmanthus oolong, every day to try more than a dozen different recipes, in addition to Anxi Tieguanyin also selected other oolong tea, after many trials finally set Tieguanyin.

There is also osmanthus black tea with Qimen black tea and osmanthus flowers, and other different tea drinks...... Ye Han tried them all one by one.

Over time, the taste of tea has improved.

appear

Not to mention that it can reach the ability of old tea customers, but it can roughly judge the value and grade of tea.

Tea tasting is about fine tasting, especially good tea.

Boss Gong diligently helped Ye Han add tea to seven points full, and for a while the tea shed was extremely quiet, and everyone slowly tasted the aroma and tea rhyme of the special Ming Qian tea, only the sound of the teacup being lightly placed on the table.

In addition, there is the sound of the wind blowing through the tea plantation and the slight shaking of the branches of the tea tree.

Ye Han's mouth lingered with the fragrant fragrance of tea, and the nose was blowing fresh breath from the mountain, she raised her eyes to look at the verdant garden, the green color was stepping and winding up, all over the mountains, endless, and the mood was open for a while, and there was a sense of relaxation that everything should not be disturbed.

This is the unique nature and comfort of thousands of acres of tea plantations.

Being in it makes people forget the troubles of the world and feel a hundred times more energetic.

About half an hour later, the tea tasting was coming to an end.

The tea before the Ming Dynasty is fresh and tender, mainly buds, the concentration is not as high as other teas, brewing 2-3 times is better, and the product is a fresh word.

After tasting the tea, Ye Han looked around, had a good impression of this place, and was ready to take a closer look at the quality of the tea tree.

Boss Feng made another cup of special Mingqian tea by himself, and smiled: "Yuan Chang Ye, Lao Bai, I won't go, you two go shopping." ”

He helped a friend bring in a big order, so he had to charge some interest.

Gong Bai, the one who slammed the door, didn't give him a drink of treasured tea every time he came, and he was finally caught once, and he was not allowed to slaughter him.

At the same time, it leaves room for the two to discuss cooperation.

As the first person, he is not good at mixing all the time, and he doesn't know that he thinks he has taken a benefit.

Boss Gong didn't care about his tea at this time, and his eyes were full of wanting to promote this big order.

If you can satisfy this Ye Yuanchang, let him give the remaining two catties of good tea.

Ye Han looked at these dense tea trees, and lowered his head from time to time to check the density and state of the branches and leaves.

Tea tree is a perennial evergreen shrub or small tree of the family Camellia sinensis, the artificially planted tea trees in the tea garden are mostly shrubs, no obvious trunk, dense branches, and the height is generally not more than 1.5 meters.

Due to the artificial pruning, their height is almost the same, showing a semi-open state of clumps, with little middle row spacing, appearing more and denser.

Boss Gong continued to introduce: "... This row of tea trees is 10 years old, and it is the prime of life, you see here, here," he said, pointing to where the leaves are close to the branches, "these can produce new shoots in the spring, and in the right climate, a branch can grow 12 or 13 shoots, and in bad weather it is about 10. ”

"This tea tree grows very well and has dense branches, which means that it can produce at least four or five hundred buds, and the yield per mu is high."

While listening to his introduction, Ye Han put on earplugs and used gold fingers on several of the tea trees.

Dongling White Tea No. 7: "Don't look at me now, it's all leaves, but in the spring, there will be a lot of tender buds~ You can see it then." ”

Dongling White Tea No. 28: "Why am I not one of the top ten famous teas, I don't accept it!" Obviously, my amino acid content is so high, why should I sell it for 5,000 yuan a catty. Cut, do not know the goods. ”

Ye Han: "......"

The price of 5000 pieces is really high, all

I was able to purchase the premium Longjing tea which won various awards.

But it's not impossible.

As long as the quality of the tea is good enough, someone will naturally pay for it.

Ye Han thought that if she came to plant, she would strive to improve the quality of the tea tree, and with the help of plant nutrient solution, maybe it could really be achieved.

Dongling White Tea No. 77: "I heard from sisters in other tea gardens that they are picked by tea farmers all year round, and the leaves are bald, so pitiful."

Fortunately, only spring tea is picked here, so I don't want to be bald leaves, it's so ugly."

Hearing this, Ye Han couldn't help but glance at Boss Gong, and he had a measure in his heart.

This is very rare.

; Tea is expensive in spring tea, but it can be picked in all seasons.

It is of course best to pick only once a year, so that enough new leaves can be retained to the maximum extent that the tea plant grows healthily.

But for the sake of profit, many tea plantation owners pick more than once a year.

Although the quality of the latter two is very average, and it may not even be sold for a few dozen yuan, it is also a considerable income because it is a leaf, which is heavy and numerous.

However, the result of this is that the tea plant will be greatly damaged, and after a few years, the yield will become lower and lower, and it will no longer grow, and its condition will decline.

It's a pity that most people don't care about the future at all for the sake of immediate interests.

Ye Han has a general understanding of the situation of the tea garden boss through Boss Feng, and he can not be moved by interests in the case of debt, which is worthy of praise in the long run.

On top of that, these tea plants are really well raised.

Ye Han looked at their new branches, raised his hand and touched the leaves of No. 77, his eyes full of smiles.

If the price is right, she plans to bring in the tea trees here.

However, she also wanted to see the cuttings of the mother tree.

For the mother tree of Dongling white tea, Ye Han has heard of it.

They grow on the mountains at a height of more than 800 meters, and are ancient tea trees that are more than 300 years old, with a total of 23 trees.

Ancient tea trees belong to wild tea trees, and unlike artificially bred tea trees, they are mostly small trees or trees, with a height of up to 5 meters, and taller trees are more than 10 meters.

The mother tree of 23 Dongling white tea is more than 8 meters high, the height is not too high, but the branches are dense and the growth is good, and the buds are about two catties per year, and less than half a catty after frying, which is a treasure in the special grade, and ordinary people can't drink it at all.

They were adopted 30 years ago by the Fengling Group, a long-established local tea brand, and many tea trees were cultivated in the vicinity using cuttings.

The precious mother tree is guarded 24 hours a day, surrounded by cameras, to prevent theft and damage from others.

Boss Gong smiled bitterly: "I took a lot of connections to get it, alas, I got a total of 10 branches, and there are 5 living trees, you come with me." ”

Ye Han followed to the area with the most fertile soil, and saw the cuttings on the separately arranged seedbed.

At the moment there is only one 3-4 cm branch tip and one or two leaves, which are very small and should have just grown roots, and you have to squat down to see clearly.

In a row of small seedlings, 5 were well active, with green leaves and full axillary buds, which obviously survived; The leaves of the other 5 are not so alive and in condition

The probability of premature death is very high.

There are two seasons for tea tree cuttings: spring and autumn, and autumn will generally choose the appropriate weather from September to early October, and it is best to carry out cuttings on cloudy days.

It is necessary to select strong, pest-free and full axillary buds on the mother parent in advance, cut the branches 3-4 cm long with leaves, cut them into the arranged seedbed, maintain humidity, and spray fungicides every 5-7 days to maintain their normal growth. ①

When the seedlings reach 35 cm, they are removed from the seedbed and planted in normal soil, so that the cuttings are completed.

The survival rate of artificially cultivated tea tree cuttings is high, but the mother tree is a wild tea tree, and belongs to a relatively old ancient tea tree, coupled with the different living environment, the survival rate of cuttings has always been very low, 50% is a normal situation.

It's just that Boss Gong has spent a lot of effort for these mother tree branches, but now only half of them are alive, which is really distressing.

Ye Han used golden fingers on tea seedlings with low activity.

Tea Tree Sapling No. 5: "Am I dying, woo wow wow, I don't want to die-"

Tea Tree Seedling No. 8: "Breaking away from my mother's arms, I can't live, my mother saves me QAQ"

It was two particularly soft and glutinous little milk voices, whimpering, and listening to it made people's hearts melt.

There were others, Ye Han didn't speak, but he had already decided to take them away.

*

Ye Han had searched and compared the price of tea trees on the Internet before he came, and asked Wang Hongnian to inquire.

Basically, there is not much difference, and the price of tea trees with good quality and age is in the prime of life is naturally high, so there is nothing to say.

It's just that on the whole, the huge cost is close to 3 million, and the number is so much, Ye Han naturally hopes to have a certain discount.

Boss Gong looked at the girl's calm look, after drinking tea, he thought it was the same, but now seeing the other party's wordless appearance, he was a little uncertain.

Boss Gong gritted his teeth: "That's it, I can't be cheaper in terms of price, but the number of 8-year-old tea trees in the park is limited, and you can exchange one-part for 10-year-old tea trees." ”

His heart was bleeding as he spoke.

In principle, a 10-year-old tea tree is the one that has truly entered its prime, and the number of branches is higher and the tea yield is higher than that of an 8-year-old tea tree.

Two more years is equivalent to two more years of tea garden management fees, land rental fees, labor costs, and fertilizer costs...... That's a lot of money.

Ye Han's eyes lit up slightly, which was beyond her expectations.

I just looked at several rows of ten-year-old tea trees, and they are indeed growing well, and the number of buds produced is more than that of eight years.

In order to promote this business, Boss Gong also did his best: "... There are also the branches of the mother tree mentioned earlier. ”

He took a deep breath and tried to restrain his heartache: "If you like it, take all 5 of them." ”

Ye Han smiled, "I want to take all 10 of them, is that okay?" ”

Boss Gong was stunned: "But the other 5 trees-" basically can't survive anymore.

Ye Han: "It's okay, I'll take it back and try it." ”

Boss Gong originally planned to give it all away, but it was not bad anyway, as long as he could sign this big order.

According to the estimation of row spacing and cluster spacing and field survey, about 1,650 tea trees can be planted per mu, with a unit price of 50 yuan per tree, 30 mu, and a total cost of 2.475 million yuan.

Including the cost of transplanting and transportation, it is about 2.6 million.

It is 400,000 less than Ye Han's estimate, just enough to ask a few professional tea farmers to take care of the tea garden.

The two signed a contract, and as for which tea trees to transplant, due to the large number, most of them were transplanted in patches.

30 acres is not a small area, Ye Han needs to come to confirm and mark it many times in a row.

But 10 cuttings, she has to take away and cultivate today.

Not long after these branches had just grown roots, Boss Gong directly found someone to dig 10 cm into the soil and take it away with the seedbed soil.

Ye Han looked at the small tea tree seedlings, the more he looked at them, the more cute they became, and when he went back, he immediately watered them with nutrient solution.

The nutrient solution is quickly absorbed by these 10 seedlings, and you can hear the sound of water absorption.

The small seedlings with leaves, which were only four or five centimeters long, quickly grew roots, not as thin as a hair's hair before, but much thicker, and even the leaves gradually regained their green color.

Tea Tree Seedling No. 5 was so happy that it shook the only leaf, and it finally came to life.

It didn't take long for a large number of tea trees to be transplanted into the tea plantations where the flowers gathered, and clusters spread all over the hills, forming vertical and horizontal stepped tea fields, the color was emerald green and lush, and tourists smelled a fresh tea fragrance before they got close.

The eyes are verdant and refreshing!
