On the white tabletop, there is a jade plate that has always been white. On the jade plate, hot steam is rising from the spout of a fine purple clay teapot. A refreshing fragrance of tea spreads with the hot steam.
Come on. Next to the purple clay pot are two exquisite tea cups.
With slender fingers, the beautiful president reached out to pick up the teapot and slowly filled the two teacups. The delicate purple clay pot was filled with strong amber tea. The warm aroma of tea spread in the air at this moment.
.
The beautiful president put the teapot away, made a gesture of invitation with her beautiful hand on her chest, and said with a smile: "Miss An, please have a taste of the tea from China!"
An Ke stretched out her slender and delicate jade fingers, gently grasped the exquisitely crafted teacup, opened her lips, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Good tea! I dare to ask your Excellency, this tea is Phoenix Narcissus tea from Guangdong, China.
?”
Hearing what An Ke said, the beautiful president showed curiosity in her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile: "Does Miss An know a lot about tea?"
An Ke Zhen shook his head slightly, smiled and said: "I, I don't know anything about tea!"
Hearing what An Ke said, the curiosity in the beautiful president's eyes became even stronger, and she couldn't help but ask: "Since Miss An doesn't understand tea, how can she tell the origin and name of this tea at once?"
An Xie smiled and said: "To be honest with you, the President, I am just guessing! I know that the President not only likes Chinese special food, but also likes China's unique folk culture. He is also very interested in China's natural food. He is very interested in it."
I like to drink the natural Phoenix Narcissus tea produced in Shantou, Guangdong. So I blindly tried it, but I didn’t expect that I was right!”
After listening to Encore's words, the beautiful president said happily: "Ms. An, you are not blind. You speak very well. What else do you know about Phoenix Narcissus Tea? Can you tell me about it?"
An Ke saw the beautiful president showing great interest and said with a smile: "Then I will show off in front of His Excellency the President! Phoenix Narcissus is a kind of Guangdong oolong tea, mainly produced in Shantou, Guangdong. According to the quality of raw materials, it is made
Depending on the craftsmanship and quality, it can be divided into three grades: Phoenix Dancong, Phoenix Langcai and Phoenix Narcissus.

, the aroma still overflows outside the cup, the sweetness remains for a long time, and the true taste remains unchanged."
Seeing that Encore said so much in one breath, the beautiful president couldn't help showing a look of admiration in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss An is so humble, and her understanding of tea is very clear. She is a tea expert, but
And he said he didn’t know anything about tea!”
After hearing this, Enke said with some embarrassment: "To be honest with you, the President, I, I just saw this from above, I'm just buying and selling now!"
Hearing what Enke said, the beautiful president's wise eyes showed a look of surprise, and she asked with a smile: "Did Miss An know that I would ask you such a question?"
An Ke, the beautiful president, asked this question, and replied honestly: "Knowing that the president wants to see me, I checked your information temporarily and found out that although you are the president of country T, your ancestral home is in Guangdong, China. I also know that you
I like drinking tea. I thought the most famous tea in Guangdong is Phoenix Narcissus, so I took a note of this information, but I didn’t expect that I would actually use it!”
Hearing An Ke speak so candidly, the beautiful president found it very interesting, so he held the teacup from the purple clay pot and asked An Ke: "Has Miss An done your homework in this area?"
The beautiful president An Ke asked such a question again, and smiled and said: "I know that the best tea requires the best tea sets, so I have done a little homework in this area, but because I know that the President is an expert in this field, so
I don’t dare to show my embarrassment anymore!”
Hearing what Enke said, the beautiful president smiled gently, looked at Enke, and said with interest: "Miss An, you might as well tell me!"
Seeing that the beautiful president insisted on speaking on her own, Anke smiled slightly and said slowly in a moderate tone: "Purple clay teapot was once a unique hand-made clay handicraft in China. Now it is also made by machines in large quantities. The raw materials are:
Zisha clay originates in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, and is also known as Yixing Zisha teapot. Its origin can be traced back to Fan Li, a Yue Dynasty official in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has a history of more than 2,400 years.
Since the Zhengde reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, purple clay teapots have been made into teapots. Famous craftsmen have emerged in large numbers, and exquisite products have been handed down continuously for 500 years. It is said that the founder of purple clay teapots was Gongchun in the Ming Dynasty of China. The characteristics of purple clay teapots are that they do not take away the aroma of tea and have no smell of cooked soup.
, the wall of the pot absorbs the tea odor, and after long use, the empty pot will also have the aroma of tea when boiling water is poured into it.
The most exquisite among the purple clay pots is the pottery pot. The pottery pot is a pot with a more abstract shape that is round but not round, square but not square, flower but not flower, and ribs but not ribs. It can use patterns and patterns from oil paintings and traditional Chinese paintings.
Decorated with colors, there are traditional and non-traditional ceramic arts.
There are three main ways to classify purple clay teapots. They can be classified according to shape, whether there are decorative methods such as twist decoration, and whether they are made by craftsmen. For example, according to shape, they can be divided into three families: geometric shape, natural shape and ribbed shape;
According to whether there are twists and other decorative means, they can be divided into flower goods and bare goods.
In recent years, the price of purple clay teapots in the auction market has been bullish. They are 'antiques' with collectible value. Works by famous masters are often hard to find. As the saying goes, 'How can you get jewelry in the world, but Yixing purple clay is the most important.'" At this point.
, An Ke said with a smile, "If my guess is correct, the purple clay teapot used by the President should be the purple clay teapot from Yixing, right?"
Hearing Encore's question, the beautiful president nodded and said with a smile: "How does Miss An know the origin of this pot?"
Anke replied: "It is said that when Your Excellency the President visited China, the head of our country once gave you a tea set. Of course, the gift given to the distinguished guest should be the best tea set, and the best tea set in China is undoubtedly Yixing Zisha.
pot, so I thought that the tea set given to you by the chief is probably a Yixing purple clay teapot." At this point, she showed an elegant smile and said, "If my guess is right, this tea set may have been given by the chief back then.
