Confessions from tea makers

I grew up with tea, love tea making, tea tasting, under the guidance of the master, trained exquisite tea making, tea tasting skills. In recent years, due to the changes in the tea market environment, the master insisted that I temper myself alone, so I run a tea house, self-produced and self-sold, free from the gas of outside tea merchants!

"Meet friends with tea, treat guests with sincerity, win with quality, and be honest and mutual trust." This is the most common sentence that Master told me! The old man asked me to write this just because I was angry that the tea prices outside the tea merchants were getting lower and lower. I worked hard all year round and got nothing. Instead, the tea merchants changed hands from us to the outside, and the price increased several times. Industry problems aside, people struggle to buy good tea.

Therefore, I want to let the majority of tea friends really find a hand of Wuyi rock tea (Dahongpao), avoid the middleman's distribution means; of course; also in order to let the majority of tea farmers get a reward for hard planting.

The beautiful Wuyi Mountain is a precious heritage left by nature. Wuyi Mountain has a double heritage of world culture and nature and a national 5A tourist attraction. Welcome friends to Wuyishan play, tea together to make friends, tea friends!

This is my own tea garden.

If you and I are destined, is acquaintance heart!

Wuyi Rock Tea (Dahongpao) Processing Procedures

As far as rock tea making skills are concerned, it is indeed as Chen Chuan, a famous tea expert, said: "Wuyi rock tea creation technology is unique, the most advanced technology in the world, unparalleled, worthy of the Chinese people's vision of the world." This semi-fermented oolong tea process of "seeing green and making green" is a master of tea making techniques in ancient China, meeting the dual needs of people in the process of tea tasting, smelling incense and eating tea. In 2006, it was listed as 518 national intangible cultural heritages, which is the only one in tea.

picking

Wuyi rock tea (Dahongpao) picking is different from general red and green tea, its fresh leaf picking standard is new shoot bud leaf growth maturity (open face three or four leaves), no leaf water, no damage, fresh, uniform. Fresh leaves should not be too tender, too tender tea aroma low, bitter taste; nor too old, too old taste weak, coarse aroma. And should try to avoid picking in rainy days and with dew; different varieties, different rocks, Shanyang Shanyin and different dry and wet tea green, must not be confused.

zuoqing

Making green is an important stage to form the quality of Dahongpao. The cool green leaves in the water sieve are continuously rolled and rotated and turned up and down for 7~8 times to gradually form their unique quality characteristics. The number and time of shaking green depends on the change of green leaves (fragrance and leaf color), commonly known as "watching green and making green". In the latter half of the stage, if necessary, supplemented by "do hands" to make up for the lack of shaking green. Generally, the law of shaking green is light first and then heavy, and the standing time is short first and then long. Shake more and do less.

water-removing

De-enzyming is the sign of ending the green process and the main factor to fix the quality of raw tea and green quality. The standard of deactivation: the leaves are dry and soft, the edges of the leaves are white bubbles, no water overflows after hand kneading and it is sticky, and the green gas can be fragrant.

rolling

Rolling is the main factor to form the shape of Wuyi rock tea and affect the processing rate of tea. After the first kneading, it can be put into the pot to fry again, so that the tea strips will be soft and conducive to rekneading, and supplement the deficiency of deactivation.

Baked in water

Rock tea is "baked" in a closed roasting room with a cage. The operation is carried out by "flowing water method" on baking holes with different temperatures (90~120℃). The compound kneaded leaves were baked at high, low and high temperatures, reaching 60% to 70% dry baking. The whole process took more than 10 minutes. Speed is fast, work is intense, so it is also called "swing water bake".

Fanning, cooling and picking

After baking in water, fan to the end, and then spread cool for 5-6 hours to enhance the ripening effect, so that the taste is mellow, the color is yellow and Pu Run. After picking and removing stems and tea leaves, it can be recultivated.

Stewing and packing while hot

After picking, the tea strips are first rebaked at 90~100℃ for 1-2 hours, and then the tea strips are stewed at 70~90℃. This is a unique process of Wuyi rock tea, which has a good effect on improving soup color, bubble resistance, taste and aroma aging. The final hot packing is also a heat treatment process, which also has a certain good impact on the quality.

It would take at least three months to complete the above process!

Wuyi Rock Tea and Black Tea

1, Wuyi Dahongpao belongs to which of the six categories of tea, we choose what to pay attention to?

A: Dahongpao belongs to oolong tea, is the king of Wuyi rock tea, Wuyi rock tea carrying tripod products, but also the best tea. The tea leaves grown in Wuyi Mountains are unique in the spirit of mountains and rivers. The extra soil of rock crevices and trenches gives Dahongpao a tough and mellow quality. When choosing, pay attention to the traditional baking method, and add the unique carbon and fire fragrance related to Dahongpao tea.

2. Why is Dahongpao called Rock Tea?

Answer: Rock tea, as its name implies, is tea that absorbs nutrients from rocks and becomes a century-old tea tree. It grows in an environment close to rocks, in valleys, with short sunshine, more reflected light, large temperature difference, high humidity, year-round fine spring infiltration dripping or rain washing mountains. Minerals and various trace elements in mountains are brought to tea gardens at the foot of mountains by water sources. Under photosynthesis, it promotes old tea trees to absorb minerals and trace elements in mountains. It has a unique natural environment. It created the excellent quality of Dahongpao.

3. Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao's position in Chinese tea?

A: Dahongpao is the dominant type of Wuyi rock tea, and its fame and location are like Beijing's position in China.

4, Dahongpao planting, will use pesticides and fertilizers, when I choose, how should I avoid?

A: We never use fertilizer and pesticides to grow tea trees, and we are very careful about the management of tea plantations. Tea plantations must be built with stones, and only rely on filling soil and covering green grass to improve soil fertility. When there are insects, only mountain herbs are sprayed. The tea we produce ensures the safety of each piece of tea, and produces safe tea from "tea garden to tea cup."

5. I see some people propagandize that tea mountains are decades old tea trees. Is it true?

A: If it is tea from Wuyishan producing area, it is indeed true. Tea farms are handed down from ancestors. Take our tea garden as an example. Tea trees are basically more than 60 years old. Some old fir trees are even hundreds of years old. Tea trees are full of moss. Such tea trees taste mellow and full of aroma.

6. When can the Dahongpao collected guarantee high quality?

A: Dahongpao picking time, it is the rainy season in Wuyi Mountain, the mountain road is narrow and slippery, it is easy to fall, so we have to go up the mountain at 6 a.m., to 9-11 a.m., 2-5 p.m. tea green quality is the best, dew green is the second. Only five hours a day.

In order to ensure the quality, we have three non-picking tea mountain: rainy days do not pick, there is dew do not pick, the sun does not pick, only pick open face 5 leaves, finally will leave only 2-5 leaves to make tea, these are to be able to pick moderate tenderness tea, only in this way tea after the aroma will be fragrant brown positive.

7. There are dozens or about 100 catties of Dahongpao on the market. How can I tell if it is real Dahongpao when I buy it?

A: There are many ways to distinguish. From this price alone, I can't say that others 'tea is not Dahongpao. Dahongpao has always been the imperial tea. Let me show you the past price.

This is only the cost of tea making 299 yuan, not including the store operation, store staff wages, if the tea green is better, the price is doubled, the precious tea production is limited in the mountain field, the mountain field production of tea, the price is sky-high.

You see dozens of yuan or about 100 Dahongpao, you should roughly have a judgment!

Make tea with your heart. Making tea is making your heart.

If you and I are destined, is acquaintance heart!
