The wet cold that seeps into the bones in Wuhan winter always makes people feel afraid. As night falls, hundreds of birds return home, and only the remnants of the shadows under the twilight remain by the lake. The hustle and bustle of the day is followed by the cold silence that is unique to winter nights. In the tea room, it is even more chilling.
Small black pottery stove and roasted tea pot
Sitting in front of the tea table, my fingertips touching the slightly cool teacup, I missed the warmth of the fire pit again. The roasted teapot has been in the corner since last March, and its gray color reminds me that it's time to invite tea friends and use it!
Burn seven or eight pieces of charcoal, take three or five grams of tea leaves, grab a pinch or two of glutinous rice, and prepare to move the roasted tea by the mountain fire pond into the tea room in the city.
Put the roasted tea pot on the fire to heat, then put the glutinous rice into the pot, slowly roast out the caramelized aroma, and then put in the ancient tree white tea that I like, gently shake while roasting, watching the tea leaves slowly curled up in the jar, emitting a slightly caramelized fragrance, then injecting boiling water, accompanied by the sound of "squeaking", the tea leaves tumbled in the water, the tea soup also grunted and boiled, and the rich tea aroma gushed out, full of rooms.
This bright golden tea soup, the entrance is mellow and smooth, the sweetness of the tea leaves with the caramelized aroma of glutinous rice, a few mouthfuls into the throat, the whole body is smooth, after three cups and two lights, everyone is already thin sweat and light.
This brewed tea makes Wuhan's winter night filled with a warm tea aroma. Tea lovers are also full of excitement.
Bai jitter tea, also known as "Taihua tea", is a popular folk tea drink in Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Guizhou Where the Miao people live. Dry tea is placed in a special clay pot, roasted over a charcoal fire, and shaken as it is roasted, it is said to shake hundreds of times until the young stems of the tea leaves are blistered, but not scorched. It is followed by boiling hot water, which splashes and overflows with tea aroma.
After pouring boiling water, grunt the tea soup
Good roasted tea, not only the good skills of the tea people, but also the need for good wrist strength and patience. A hundred trembling into a good drink, one more point, the heat is too heavy, easy to burn; less than one point, the tea aroma can not be fully stimulated, then the taste is insufficient. A brew of roasted tea contains the friendship of the tea roasters, burns out the essence of tea leaves, and condenses the thousand-year-old folk customs of ethnic minorities.
Three or five tea friends gathered in a room, holding a bowl of mellow tea, feeling the warmth of this trembling tea tumbling out of the mountain wildfire pond. Maybe this little jar of roasted tea won't warm the whole winter, but it also lights up this moment of the long night, this corner.
