When did you first get into tea?

Hello, I'm happy to answer your question.

As a Chaoshan person, it can be said that tea has been a part of life for as long as I can remember. Almost every household in the Chaoshan area has a tea set, and they drink several pots of it every day.

Chaoshan people cannot go a day without tea. If a guest comes to their home, the first thing they do is boil water to make tea. It has become a way of hospitality in people's daily life. There is a jingle in the Chaoshan area: one brew of water and two brews of tea, three brews and four brews are the essence, five brews and six brews are not bad either. So generally when making tea, the first brew is rinsed first and then poured out without drinking, because there are impurities in it. Then the second brew and the third brew are all the essence. The tea is bright in color and the tea is fragrant. Wait until the fifth brew. On the sixth brew, the color of the tea has begun to fade. At this time, it is time to replace the tea leaves and start a new round of tea tasting.

Chaoshan people like to drink tea carefully. Slowly tasting in each small tea cup, there are many types of tea to drink, not only Dahongpao, high mountain fried tea, Tieguanyin, but also Pu'er, West Lake Longjing, duck shit fragrant, old tea... as long as you can name it I have touched almost all of them, and I will have the habit of collecting the ones I like. Some teas become more fragrant and more valuable the longer they are stored.

Hello, I’m happy to answer your question! When did you start getting into tea?

Tea is very familiar to Chaoshan people. Almost every household drinks tea every day, from morning to night. Tea is inseparable from morning to night. The most representative one is Kung Fu tea. In the eyes of Chaoshan people , it is not only a living habit, but also a kind of etiquette for greeting friends, but also a kind of culture and spirit that continues the tradition.

So when I was a child, I was influenced by my family, neighbors, relatives and friends, and even the entire Chaoshan area, and I started to get in touch with tea, because no matter at home or when visiting relatives and friends, Kungfu tea was everywhere. , tea culture has penetrated to the point where it is indispensable, and it is because of this that I have always had the habit of drinking tea, and I also love drinking tea.

The water and soil in the Chaoshan area are not suitable for growing tea, so teas from other places are mainly produced, mostly Fujian tea. There are also a variety of teas to drink, including Tieguanyin, Dahongpao, Pu'er tea, Dancong, etc. wait!

A cup of Gongfu tea brews many hometown dreams of overseas travelers and many hometown sentiments of Chaoshan people. A cup of strong Kung Fu tea brews many beautiful and moving stories. Although it is not wine, it is better than wine. How many people are intoxicated by it!

Everyone knows that tea is produced in Xinyang, Henan Province, and I am from Xinyang, Henan Province. I have had green tea at home since I was a child. Most of the adults there have a cup of green tea every day.

After joining the workforce, I came into contact with tea when taking the professional title exam.

Drinking tea is not that mysterious. It is very down-to-earth. In the final analysis, it is a drink that can bring relaxation and health to people. It is one of the seven things that people do when they open their doors: "rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea" , its mission is to be drunk.

However, with the progress of human civilization and the rise of tea in the prosperous times, tea is now becoming the national drink. The way of drinking tea has changed again and again, and the beauty of brewing techniques is pleasing to the eye and mind. One person can enjoy the tranquility, two people can enjoy it, and the three of them can enjoy the perfect tea.

Not understanding tea does not affect people’s experience of drinking tea.

Just like you don’t need to know the sun or the air, but you can still feel the warmth and freshness they bring to you. ?

Drinking tea is a habit for some people. If you don’t drink tea, you always feel like you are missing something.

For some people, drinking tea is a hobby. It doesn’t smell the fragrance, tastes the taste buds, fills the throat, and moistens the heart and spleen.

Drinking tea is a kind of comfort for some people. It is peaceful and leisurely. Walking to a waterless place, sit and watch the clouds rise.

Some people think that drinking tea is a kind of spiritual practice, quiet and inactive, and indifferent to the world...

But it should not be a kind of arty.

So, you don’t have to understand tea, you don’t have to be sensitive and reserved in front of tea lovers, you don’t have to be arty, you don’t have to deify it, and you don’t have to pretend to understand, you just need to get the fun and beauty other than tea, tea The subtle grace within it is enough.

The following is my sharing, thank you for watching.

My hometown is a tea area, and I have been in contact with it for a long time. The earliest contact was forty years ago.

It was still the 1980s. When I was in elementary school, the household contract system had just begun. At that time, people in Shaoxing were making pearl tea, and every larger village had a small tea factory. There is no such thing as today’s morning tea, which is all grown on old tea trees in the mountains. You go to tea gardens to pick tea after school and then sell it to processing factories to earn money for popsicles in the summer. It's very realistic to say that at that time, there was no comparison with others in terms of pomp and circumstance now. The happiness of earning a few popsicles came from the bottom of my heart.

The next step is to graduate from school. In the early 1990s, Longjing tea technology began to be promoted, and morning tea varieties began to appear. Compared with pearl tea, the picking requirements of the two are different. Five yuan per catty, Longjing tea costs hundreds per catty. The temptation is great. Many tea drinkers take their pots to look for areas with early germination. At that time, Longjing tea was still made by hand. People from Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, and Zhejiang I have run through a lot of footprints.

Next, the promotion of morning tea planting begins, including Wu Niuzao, Longjing 43, Yingshuang, Chrysanthemum Spring, Pingyang Zao, Xiaoye Fuding, etc. The first generation Longjing tea machine type 90 is hand-made Pressing stalls also appeared. At that time, making tea machines was almost a trend. In some professional villages in the tea area, as long as they had mechanical knowledge and electric welding knowledge, they were assembling them. There were hundreds of tea machines in our county, and they were on the market at that time. For West Lake Longjing, the tea made by tea machine is mechanical. The tea made by machine is subversive to the tea growers and tea researchers of West Lake Longjing. The most basic smooth and straight shape of Longjing tea can be made. In this way, this also later differentiated it from Zhejiang Longjing. West Lake Longjing actually changed its own requirements and processes for picking color, lightness, tightness, etc.

In another ten years, the market has stabilized. West Lake Longjing and Zhejiang Longjing have formed a dual-track system in terms of required craftsmanship. West Lake Longjing promotes strong taste and fragrance, and Zhejiang Longjing has an outstanding appearance. I became a tea merchant, and I have been in contact with the West Lake tea area for a long time. Then I tried to find a balance between West Lake Longjing and Zhejiang Longjing. The tea is fragrant, not bitter, and the tea color is complete and clearer than West Lake Longjing. The bud level should be high.

Nowadays, there are more tea lovers, and I try to understand tea from a historical perspective. Especially after contacting the Internet, I discovered that theories such as the Southern Tea Ceremony of Pu'er tea, especially the hype of Pu'er tea, are completely false. It’s a liar’s business, and I get yelled at every day, hahahahahahahaha, it’s not easy to be a quiet tea person, but it’s like walking with tea all the way.

Hello! My name is Siyi, and I was very excited when I saw your question, because I have been exposed to tea since I can remember, and it is full of my feelings for my hometown neighbors and my family. Every time I think about it, I feel happy for a long time.

The tea I came into contact with is called "chopped tea", also called "oil tea". It is deeply loved by the people of Guilin. People in the city and counties can make it. There are various methods of making oil tea, which are slightly different in different places. Each has its own characteristics, incorporating its own ethnic group (Dong, Tujia, Yao, Zhuang, etc.), local culture and preferences. The most famous one is Gongcheng Camellia oleifera. Nowadays, Camellia oleifera can be found in the streets and alleys of Guilin. It is very pleasant to drink Camellia oleifera and chat. Camellia oleifera is not only a kind of tea, but also a dish. The most famous one is the camellia oleifera fish. The aroma of tea is mixed with the freshness of fish, and the taste is also unique.

I was born in Quanzhou, and I belong to the Han nationality. It is located next to Hunan. My taste is similar to that of Quanzhou. We all like spicy food. Therefore, there must be chili pepper in the oil tea in our place. Moreover, they prefer to eat it in winter to keep themselves warm. Usually after a meal, they shout "Chop tea" in the village, and the neighbors will gather together and start chopping tea around the stove. It was so pleasant to chop tea and chat about homely things.

Next, I will introduce to you how to eat Camellia oleifera throughout the state. It is salty, spicy and refreshing. If you have the opportunity, you must come to the local area to chop the tea yourself and taste it. I believe you will fall in love with the Camellia oleifera.

Ingredients list: tea, peanuts, ginger, garlic, fried rice popcorn, chopped green onions, coriander, pickled peppers, salt, mung beans/gallon mushrooms (can also be replaced with other foods you like)

p>

Steps: Heat some oil in a pot, add tea leaves, ginger, garlic, sour chili salt, and mung beans and chop them together, add water and bring to a boil. After filtering the residue, add fried rice popcorn, peanuts, green onion and coriander and it is ready to eat.

TIPS: Camellia oleifera can be cooked and eaten multiple times, about 5-6 times. It has a rich texture and is slightly different each time. Chop it several times before cooking to stimulate the taste of the food itself.

On a hot summer afternoon, cicadas chirped one after another. In my father’s large sugar porcelain teapot, my mother grabbed a handful of the new coarse tea produced that year and burned it on the coal stove until it was piping hot. Boiling water was poured into the tea vat, and the thick tea leaves in the vat were tumbling. Taking advantage of the situation, he sprinkled a handful of mint that had dried in the sun, and shouted to his father that the mint tea was ready.

The memory of tea begins at this moment. Tea is always placed on the dining table. At my age and height, I cannot get the mint tea that is higher than the height above my head on the Eight Immortals table. My father is always there. After the tea cooled down a little, I blew away the tea leaves floating on the teapot and called out, "Drink the tea." A mint tea soup with a special fragrance of mint and a cooling throat tingling entered my lungs, and I actually She is her father's daughter. Because she loves her so much, every call she makes is for her son.

In the early years, there were not many rural farmers who drank tea. We returned to the countryside during the special era of urban life, so even with rough and cheap tea, coupled with some mint, we could still live a happy life in the hot summer. A sense of calmness and calmness.

Another perfect match with mint tea is the grass jelly jelly. The grass jelly jelly made in a large earthen stove is chilled with well water, added with sugar and mint tea, and a bowl of it is used to relieve fever. The burning jelly grass and mint black jelly to cool the throat made the children's mouth water, and the taste of summer began with one sip.

In the days that followed, I traveled through mountains and rivers, saw some famous teas recorded in the book, and tasted some expensive tea soups. I know the age of the three mother tea trees in Wuyi Mountain, and the first time I encountered it in my life was when I was young, my father’s big teapot was full of light black thick-leaf mint tea.

Hello , I’m Lili, I’m very happy to answer your questions.

Regarding the question of when I came into contact with tea, I think it is quite easy for me, a Pu'er person who grew up in the tea fields. I have been around twenty years since I could crawl. It has been many years, but it has been more than ten years since I really knew about tea. Okay, the above is my answer. Finally, I wish you a happy life
