Orchid smoked tea

Orchids not only have high ornamental value, but also can be used as medicine. Roots, leaves, flowers and fruits all have certain medicinal value and can cure a variety of diseases.

The author talks about the mellow aroma of orchid smoked tea with personal practice. Put the freshly opened orchid flowers into a cup containing green tea, pour it with boiling water and soak it for a few minutes. The tea in the cup is still the original green soup color. When you smell it, there is a delicate fragrance coming from the nostrils, refreshing, trying to drink one or two mouthfuls. I feel that there is a sweet taste, and there is a taste of scented tea in the aftertaste. Furthermore, the unbudded orchids were used to make green tea. It was found that the smoked tea of orchid flowers after a few days of blooming was not as mellow as the smoked tea of orchid flowers that had not yet bloomed, and had a long aftertaste. The author picked and dried the newly blooming orchid flowers and dried them, and soaked them in the cup with green tea and dried orchid flowers. The soup color of green tea is different from that of fresh orchid flowers. The soup color of dried orchid flower smoked tea is a little red, but it still has a mellow aftertaste, which is not much different from fresh orchid flower smoked tea. Drink black tea with fresh and dried orchids, the soup is more red, the taste is similar to that of green tea, and the flavor is mellow.

The author uses his own Dachun orchid, Xiaochun orchid, ink orchid, snow orchid and other orchids to smoke tea, but the fragrance of orchids that have not yet bloomed is the thickest, and the aroma of orchids after blooming is slightly light. the orchids used for smoked tea can be harvested in batches during flowering or when they are not yet in full bloom, should not be exposed to the sun, and had better be half-dried and half-dried, sealed and preserved after drying. Drink a cup of tea into two, the fragrance is mellow, if put too much, the aroma is too strong. The orchid harvested had better be carefully processed to remove a small amount of astringency in the orchid, so that the orchid smoked tea has a purer taste, more mellow flavor and a long aftertaste.

"Orchid smoked tea" not only tastes mellow and fragrant, but also has the functions of awakening, cooling and purging fire. The medicinal prospect of processing orchids into high-grade orchid tea and orchids is attractive.
