A longtime tea drinker tells you what tea is like.

The little-known inside story behind the tea price

Pu'er tea is one of the most popular daily drinks. It has the effects of lowering blood pressure, anti-cancer, reducing fat, relieving alcohol and losing weight. It is a good choice whether you drink it yourself or give it to your relatives and friends.

However, in recent years, the price of Pu'er tea continues to rise, thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan of high-grade tea on the market is not uncommon, and many tea lovers spend a lot of money to buy Pu'er tea of average quality.

What is the inside story behind the high price? How on earth can we buy good Pu'er and taste natural and healthy? Today, I will use my own experience to tell you about it.

"Price Butcher" from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan

Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, my hometown, rich tea resources Fuze later generations, countless Yunnan tea farmers worship tea gods for a living, handed down from generation to generation, my family is one of them.

You are the daughter of tea. Only by using your heart can you make good tea. This is the most words my father has ever said to me since I was a child.

With my father's expectation, I chose to major in tea making in college. When I returned to my hometown after graduation, I found that some unscrupulous businessmen had infiltrated into the Pu'er tea world to search for gold. When many tea merchants came to collect tea, the price was very low. "growing tea without making money" has been deeply solidified in the hearts of the villagers. The tea picked by the villagers was bought at a low price by the tea merchants and sold to tea friends at a high price.

While the poor tortured the villagers, they were also ruining the tea garden here. My father was angry and hated about this, and he was also worried about how to buy first-hand Pu'er tea. He racked his brains and thought about it for a long time. He resolutely decided not to let the tea merchants act as middlemen to earn a high price difference and to be the "price butcher" of Yunnan Pu'er tea.

I am a tea farmer and I speak for my own Pu'er tea.

One's own tea garden to prevent middlemen from earning the difference.

Xiao Ting promised to use only 30% of the usual price of tea.

Tea friends can drink authentic ancient tree tea.

Make friends with tea and treat each other with honesty.

Let's walk into the organic tea garden in Xiaogong, Mengqi.

Xiaogong ancient tea garden is located in the primeval forest more than 75 kilometers away from my home. It is sparsely populated, with an average altitude of 1700 meters, annual rainfall of 1600 mm, annual average gas of 15 ℃, sunshine hours of 7.5 hours, and the growth environment of fine ancient trees Pu'er.

Xiaogong ancient tea forest is shrouded in clouds all the year round, and there are still a large number of wild ancient tea trees, primitive ancient tea forest and modern tea garden coexist, forming a natural museum of tea trees.

The father, who "does not earn money without heart", insists on organic planting and management of the ancient tea garden all the year round, completely eliminating pesticides and chemical fertilizers so as to achieve "pure ecology". This is the first major standard and bottom line for "making good tea."

My father solemnly told me that tea trees, as the basis for the survival of tea farmers, should not ignore the healthy nature of tea in order to satisfy their appetite. We should resolutely resist tea with harmful substances such as agricultural residues and heavy metals, or what is the difference between us and tea merchants?

(inspection report of one's own tea)

Under the efforts of his father for many years, Mengfeng Xiaogong has passed strict "organic" certification, adhering to the ancient tribute tea technology carefully produced, the product temperament is honest, taste mellow, durable bubble, and because of the price, it is the best in the collection of tea friends from all walks of life.

I am a tea farmer and I speak for my own Pu'er tea.

If you are also a tea friend who attaches great importance to health and likes the ancient tree Pu'er.

Xiao Ting guarantees that you will only use 30% of the usual price of tea.

You can taste the ingenuity of tea farmers.

Make friends with tea and treat each other with honesty.

Hand-made tea with traditional craftsmanship in Xiaogong

With good raw materials and good craftsmanship, Mengfeng Xiaogong adheres to the ancestral craftsmanship to make Pu'er tea. To ensure that the superior raw materials will not be harmed, the endoplasm can be retained to the maximum, and the quality can be best performed. Thus, the highest quality Pu'er tea can be produced.

Picking fresh leaves of ancient tree tea

Home picking is strictly based on one bud and two leaves, because the fresh leaves at this time are in the best state in terms of maturity and contents, laying a good foundation for the late aging of Pu'er tea, so that Pu'er tea will be "the older the better"!

"withering" and "hanging"

Many people think that there is no difference between "withering" and "spreading", but for traditional handmade tea, this is an unreasonable statement.

"spreading" retains the original substances in tea and creates conditions for transformation in the later stage of storage.

The tea made by "withering" has a high aroma and a dark red bottom, so withering is more beneficial to Pu'er tea with high aroma.

Kill the youth

The quality of green removal is directly related to the quality of Pu'er tea. Meng Meng Xiaogong insists on using carbon fire, iron pot and manual stir-frying to kill the green, which requires the tea maker to have rich experience in making tea, can master the heat well, and the stir-frying frequency must be uniform and orderly.

Knead and roll

Hand rolling, that is, the process of turning the tea cyanine into strips by hand, destroying the cell tissue of the fresh tea leaves and making the substances in the tea adhere to the surface of the tea cyanine.

Sun drying

Sun drying is the key to the formation of unique flavor of pure handmade Pu'er tea. When drying, the weather must be sunny, and the temperature affects the time of the sun, which should be determined according to experience.

Press the cake

The traditional tea-making technology of Xiaogong is pressed by manual stone mill, which makes Pu'er tea better in aroma and flavor, and more beneficial to the transformation in the later stage.

Dry

Take the molded tea to a cool and ventilated place and wait for the tea to be dried.

Manual packing of cotton paper

Pu'er tea is packaged with hand-made cotton paper, which has strong air permeability and is conducive to long-term storage.

Xiao Gong always adheres to the traditional method of making tea by hand, only the tea made by hand tastes better and can keep the original flavor of the tea.

Three-thirds of raw materials and seven-point craftsmanship, good tea must come from good craftsmanship and good ecology. Xiao Gong is made by hand, so that every cake of Pu'er tea has a story in it.

You are invited to appreciate the ingenuity of tea.

With the original raw materials of ancient trees and exquisite craftsmanship, Xiao Gong has created a good taste of Pu'er.

A senior tea friend, after tasting Xiao Ting's tea, also shared a doggerel: "one course of water, two courses of tea, three and four dishes are the essence, five and six are not bad, seven bubbles have an aftertaste, eight have an aftertaste, and nine and ten are still aftertaste." It fully illustrates the tea aroma and brewing property of Gushu Pu'er in Xiaogong.
