We all know that Guangdong people like to drink tea, and although Guangdong is not a big tea-producing province, it is a veritable tea drinking province.
To say that Cantonese people drank the most tea in the early years, then Tieguanyin designated the list.
Friends in Guangdong have said before that almost every household there will drink Tieguanyin. Therefore, Tieguanyin seems to have also become a label for Cantonese people, and when it comes to the tea drunk by Cantonese people, everyone will think of Tieguanyin.
However, in recent years, the status of Tieguanyin in the hearts of Guangdong people has become lower and lower, and there is almost no trace of Tieguanyin on the tea table of Guangdong people.
Why did Tie Guanyin, who was once extremely popular, fall out of favor?
In fact, it is mainly because the Tieguanyin market is too chaotic, and some merchants in order to meet the needs of consumers who only drink cheap Tieguanyin and reduce costs, they make fake Tieguanyin, or sell it with real and fake. Such a fake and shoddy Tieguanyin is naturally of low quality and weak taste.
In the long run, tea customers who love to drink Tieguanyin are disappointed in it and naturally stop drinking it.
For Cantonese people who love tea as fate, life is inseparable from tea, today let's take a look at the 3 cheap teas that Guangdong people now love to drink, have you ever drunk?
