There were not many tea drinkers in the teahouse at this time, but most of them were foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes, which also reflected the popularity of Chinese tea culture abroad.
The air in the tea house is filled with the strong fragrance of tea, bean fragrance and fresh and elegant orchid fragrance, which is the unique fragrance of Longjing tea; the iconic orchid fragrance reveals the fragrance of milk and the faint sweet fragrance of osmanthus, which is the unique fragrance of iron tea.
The taste of Guanyin...
Compared with expensive perfumes, the fragrance of tea carries a kind of cultural and historical sedimentation. Its fragrance may not be strong, but it can refresh the mind; its fragrance may not attract people's attention immediately, but it can make people, even
Human souls are immersed in it and never want to leave; for tea lovers, the fragrance of tea is the most poisonous poison.
When Luo Hao came in, he paid a little attention to the price tag hanging in the stone corridor. The tea here is divided into different prices according to different varieties, and the price ranges from 10 euros to 50 euros.
RMB, that is, a pot of tea costs between 100 yuan and 500 yuan.
Such a price may make many people gasp, but Luo Hao knows that a pot of good tea is definitely worth the price. If it is a rare and unique tea, it is priceless and cannot be bought even if you have money.
The most famous is the tea leaves from the Dahongpao trees in Wuyi Mountain. Even if you spend tens of thousands of dollars, you may not be able to buy just one or two!
There is a saying that has been circulating in the domestic industry, "There are many famous teas in China. It is easy to drink famous tea, but it is difficult to drink real good tea!" There is also a saying "Famous tea is easy to get, good tea is easy to get"
Hard to find”.
Although Luo Hao didn't taste it, he could tell that it was good tea just from the aroma of tea that filled the air in the tea house!
The table of foreign tea guests next to me ordered Longjing tea. After all, for foreigners, the most familiar tea in their knowledge of tea is Longjing tea. As for Dianhong, Baihao Yinzhen, Taiping Houkui, Xinyang Maojian, and Huangshan Mao
Feng, foreign tourists may not even have heard of the names of these famous teas.
The young tea girl wearing a Chinese red cheongsam first warmed the glass cup used to make tea with hot water, and then used a tea spoon to take the tea leaves from the tea can and pour it into the glass. Luo Hao carefully observed the other party taking the tea leaves.
The amount of tea she takes is about four grams each time. This skill cannot be developed overnight.
To collect the tea, the tea lady picked up the long-mouthed copper teapot placed on the charcoal stove and poured water into the glasses placed in a circle on the stone table. The hot water stopped filling one-third of the way into the glass.
He came down and moved to the cup next to him, so that the tea leaves could be soaked in water and fragrant; during the whole process, not a drop of water was spilled on the stone table.
After the tea girl poured hot water one-third of the height of the glasses into all the glasses on the stone table, the tea leaves in the first glass were completely soaked in water, and the refreshing aroma of tea spread out from the glasses.
Even though the foreign tea drinkers sitting at the stone table did not know much about tea, they were deeply attracted by the aroma of tea.
The tea girl gently lifted the copper kettle with a long spout and used the strength of her wrist to lift the kettle. The hot water poured from the long spout of the copper kettle drew a beautiful arc and fell steadily into the glass. The pouring force was moderate.
There were splashes of water, but no splashing out of the glass.
The copper pot is lifted three times and dropped three times, and the water is eighty percent full. This is the real "Phoenix nods three times".
The tea girl's action is to pour water to make tea, but it is more like a performance.
"Good work!" Luo Hao couldn't help but admired.
The tea lady put down the long-mouthed copper pot, smiled at Luo Hao and bowed.
"Sir, do you also know about tea?"
At this time, a voice sounded from behind Luo Hao.
Luo Hao turned his head and found a man standing behind him at some point. The man was about fifty years old, wearing a finely made black buttoned cloth, with his hands behind his back, and he was full of energy.
Even though the man was wearing a pair of cloth shoes, he was able to stand quietly behind him without him noticing at all. This was enough to show that the man in front of him was not simple.
"Master likes tea. I have been following it since I was a child. I know a little about it through my ears and eyes, but I can't say that I 'understand tea'." Luo Hao said humbly: "Master often said that there are many people who drink tea in our country, but we really 'understand tea'
But there are not many people there. How people treat tea, tea will treat people the same way."
Luo Hao's humble attitude made the man nod slightly, cup his hands towards Luo Hao, and said, "My surname is Tang, and my last name is the word 'Yi'. I wonder what your surname is, sir?"
"My surname is Luo." Luo Hao replied.
"We are destined to meet each other. I wonder if Mr. Luo is interested in tasting a pot of tea with me?" Tang Yi invited Luo Hao: "I have a lot of good tea there, but you can't drink it outside."
Luo Hao only knew the location and code of the meeting, but he didn't know who he wanted to meet when he arrived at the teahouse. Since Tang Yi invited him, Luo Hao naturally agreed. It can be seen that Tang Yi
His status in the tea house is not low.
Luo Hao followed Tang Yi through the tea pavilions surrounding the landscape lake and came to an arch. Tang Yi made a "please" gesture to Luo Hao, put his hands behind his back, and walked through a bluestone path.
In the garden, I walked to a row of antique wing rooms. There was a plaque hanging above the door of the middle wing room with the word "Tea Pavilion" written on it. The handwriting was the same as the two "tea houses" at the gate, except this time it was in "
Next to the words "Tea Pavilion" are the time of the inscription and the name of the person who inscribed it - Tang Yi.
"I didn't expect Mr. Tang's calligraphy to be so exquisite." Luo Hao admired.
"It's just a small skill." Tang Yi shook his head gently and said: "In the field of calligraphy, I can only say that it is an 'introduction'. Please come here."
Tang Yi brought Luo Hao into the side room, took out a Longquan celadon tea set and put it on the table, and asked Luo Hao: "I wonder what kind of tea Mr. Luo likes to drink? Black tea, white tea, oolong, black tea or green tea?"
"Green tea, I usually drink more of this." Luo Hao replied.
"Green tea does have a wider audience." Tang Yi nodded lightly and said, "It's just that many people drink tea just for the name, but don't really understand tea. What kind of tea does Mr. Luo want to drink?"
Luo Hao thought for a moment and said: "West Lake Longjing fried by hand in a wood stove."
"Mr. Luo is also a person who knows the goods." Tang Yi took out a tin tea can and said to Luo Hao: "In order to pursue efficiency and mass production, many tea factories now use mechanical flow-based tea frying. In this way,
The efficiency of tea frying is indeed higher than that of manual tea frying, but it destroys the taste of tea. Only hand-fried tea can retain the umami and aroma of tea, and hand-fried tea is fried on a firewood stove.
