Introduction: Once the "sanhua tea" loved by Sichuan people, why is the scenery no longer there? What happened
In the childhood memories of Sichuan people, everyone has a cup of tea that is difficult to forget, that is, jasmine tea, but Sichuan people do not simply call it jasmine tea, but call it "three flowers".
In the past, Sichuan people were very fond of drinking flower tea, in addition to liking pearl orchid tea and orchid tea, they also liked jasmine tea, especially "three-flower tea" (short for three-level jasmine tea).
Next, let's first understand the historical trajectory of "Sanhua Tea":
Before the reopening, there was a tea factory in Chengdu, Sichuan, called "Chengdu Tea Factory", founded in 1951, the location was in Yixinqiao Street, when the Chengdu Tea Factory produced a variety of tea, but Sichuan people especially liked is the flower tea, in the older generation of people there is another elegant name for flower tea called "incense piece".
At that time, Chengdu Tea Factory produced a large number of flower teas, which were sold according to grades, so flower tea was divided into several levels. In the past, different levels of tea packaging bags would be marked with special flowers, one flower, two flowers, three flowers and other logos, in addition, there are four flowers, five flowers, flower chips, flower foam and other levels.
As the name suggests, the special flower is the special jasmine tea, the first flower is the first-level jasmine tea, and the "three flowers" is naturally the third-grade jasmine tea.
However, the quality of jasmine tea below the fourth level is not good, and the third-level jasmine tea is inexpensive, fragrant and resistant to brewing, which has won the recognition of many people, so the locals are more inclined to drink third-grade jasmine tea, also referred to as "three flowers".
It is not that the Sichuan people at that time did not want to drink special, first- and second-grade jasmine tea, because the special flowers were generally handed in as tributes, and most of the first and second flowers were drunk by the dignitaries and nobles, and the output was relatively small, and the ordinary people generally could not afford to buy them, or they could not buy them at all, because at that time, the purchase of flower tea above the third level needed to be bought with the corresponding "industrial coupons" (Chengdu people also called "wage coupons", because they were distributed according to the proportion of wages, and paid together with wages), which was similar to the need to buy grain "Food stamps" is a truth.
So at that time, only the third-grade jasmine tea was acceptable to ordinary people, the price was not expensive, one or two were priced at only 0.53 yuan, and the taste was good, and slowly the three-grade jasmine tea became the favorite of Sichuan people.
Generally, when Sichuan people want to drink tea, they will say a sentence "Go, play three flowers!" ", it means to go to the tea house together to drink Sanhua Gai bowl tea.
Later, in 1998, coinciding with the restructuring of the tea factory, the tea factory registered the trademark of Sanhua, and the tea factory was also renamed Sichuan Sanhua Tea Industry Co., Ltd., so the "Sanhua Brand" was born, and the "Sanhua" at this time also specifically referred to the "Sanhua Brand" three-grade jasmine tea produced by sichuan people.
▶ The brilliant "Sanhua Tea", which has been brilliant for more than half a century, was once the favorite of Sichuan people, why is the scenery no longer beautiful? What happened?
★1. In 2005, due to the requirements of urban planning, the tea factory was relocated to the tea industry base in Chengjia Town, Pujiang County, and later merged with other tea factories. In fact, sanhua tea factory from the moment of relocation has been in decline, because the most popular place for sanhua tea in Sichuan at that time was Chengdu, and leaving Chengdu, a treasure of feng shui, will naturally lose many old customers.
★2, although the so-called "sanhua tea" can also be bought on the market now, but this three flowers are not the other three flowers, because many Sichuan people said that there is no longer the taste of the sanhua tea after drinking, and gradually many people do not drink.
★3, the merged company is said to be the main "national unity card" tea, rather than sanhua, coupled with the emergence of many new teas over the years, people's choice of categories is also more, sanhua in the competition is not very prominent, over time sanhua tea has been buried.
In recent years, Sichuan's buried tea is of course not only sanhua, but also Guangyuan pine needles, Wanyuan selenium-rich tea, etc., including the following Xianwu Phoenix Tea is also for various reasons did not open the popularity, and finally ended up with a nameless ending.
▶ Fairy mist phoenix tea
This is a black tea produced by Sichuan Fengming Tea Industry, from Yibin, which enjoys the reputation of "the first city of the Yangtze River", Yibin belongs to the golden planting zone of tea, located at 28 ° north latitude, the soil is rich in selenium, due to the high altitude of the mountain, above 800 meters, the temperature difference between day and night, the direct sunlight is less, so the tea plant production is slow, which is conducive to the accumulation of tea endoplasm, and the content of phenols and organic matter in the tea is higher, creating a tea with high aroma and strong flavor.
At the same time, together with Qi Hong and Dian Hong, he is called the three major black teas in the mainland, which belongs to the famous "Tianfu Dragon Bud" series of products in Sichuan. Because the tea farmers take the pro-people route, they are bent on making a ration tea, and they do not spend advertising fees to promote it, so the price is affordable, and many old tea customers who have drunk it will frequently praise.
Its dried tea strips are tightly knotted and handsome, dark and moist, the size is uniform and unified; when brewing, it is advisable to use 90-100 ° hot water to stimulate its aroma, after brewing, you can see the orange red and translucent tea soup, a dense fragrance of flowers and fruits, lasting and rich; the entrance is obvious, which is an essential tea for winter health.
▶ Finally, regarding the potentially controversial claims of "dan sanhua" and "dan sanhua", Qingwu consulted an uncle in his 80s, who said that what he heard on the street before the change was "dan sanhua". In addition, when drinking, respecting heaven and earth and respecting friends will habitually use the ring finger to play three times first, so the word "play" also has a sense of play in it.
As for "dan( three flowers" is another saying that only exists in the folk after the reopening, because "啖" means to eat, and the "啖" of the three hundred litchi of the day is a meaning, and the Sichuan people will drink tea as "eating tea".
So no matter which way of saying it is, it reflects the tastes of people of different eras!
