Green tea, as soon as you hear about this genus, reminds people of nature, so that you seem to be able to see the emerald green of the large grassland, smell the light and long breath of the grass and bamboo leaves, and let people feel the freshness of the spring rain in the scorching heat.
And Longjing should be the most famous one of green tea, there are "green, fragrant, sweet, shape and beauty" four characteristics, previously mainly in the West Lake production area, where according to the place of origin and divided into lions, dragons, clouds, tigers, plums, that is, lion peaks, Longjing, Yunqi, tiger running, Meijiawu (how to feel the taste of martial arts novels). Later, Longjing was widely planted in Zhejiang Province, and is now often divided into West Lake Longjing, Qiantang Longjing (Xiaoshan, Fuyang), Yuezhou Longjing (Dafo Longjing in Xinchang County, Shaoxing Region, Yuexiang Longjing in Shengzhou City), of which West Lake Longjing is listed as the first famous tea in China.
The Shifeng Longjing that you want to know today is the most famous in the Longjing, and it is also the superior Longjing (Wow, don't check it, I don't know, I actually drank it, unfortunately, non-professional, I can only drink it on the drink)
The good goods are blind, and it is me
This bag of tea has drunk most of the bag, and I don't know its family origin, which is a shame. I just think the taste is good, not bitter, not astringent, refreshing and pleasant, I want to explore it.
Shifeng Mountain from the location near Longjing Village, is a mountain between Longjing and Meijiawu, about 350 meters above sea level, here the natural ecological conditions are unique, the average annual temperature of 16.1 °C, the average humidity of more than 80%, rainfall of about 1500mm. Because the soil in this area is composed of the debris of the "West Lake Quartz" rock and the white sand soil and loess formed by the weathering of siltstone and silt mudstone, the trace elements contained in it are particularly suitable for the formation of high-quality tea (one side of the water and soil breeding side, this is the truth. When I went to the West Lake for more than ten years, I should have been to taste Longjing near Longjing Village, but I didn't know the taste of tea when I was young, and I didn't understand it for a long time[sleepy]).
West Lake is not far away
Shifeng Longjing has a history of more than 1,200 years, the most famous story is that the Qianlong Emperor went down to Jiangnan six times and came to the Longjing Tea District four times to watch tea picking and taste tea poems. And the first eighteen tea trees in Hugong Temple (Shifeng Mountain ⬇️) were sealed as "Imperial Tea" (I wonder if these 18 trees are still there?). Have the opportunity to visit the tea plantations by the West Lake). West Lake Longjing is also known as the "Queen of Green Tea", and won a special gold medal at the 1915 Panama International Exposition, known as the "National Tea". (Knowing this, when you drink this tea again, there is a feeling of imperial relatives tasting tea [cute])
For green tea, I like its color, but I am afraid of its efficacy [Yaya] At the beginning of tea tasting, I started with green tea (who called Dad his "iron powder"), so Xiao Bai of course did not understand it and hardened. In the morning, when I had a pot of tea, I felt uncomfortable stomach, some nausea, and some dizziness. What's going on? Originally, green tea is an unfermented tea, retaining more tea polyphenols, catechins, chlorophyll, caffeine, amino acids, vitamins, etc., in the prevention of cancer, promote digestion, refreshing the brain and other aspects have obvious effects, but the doctor also said that the stomach cold people can not drink or drink less, to avoid aggravating stomach discomfort. Iron deficiency anemia and people taking iron supplements should also not drink it because it can affect iron absorption. There is also green tea suitable for spring and summer, and try to use as little as possible in autumn and winter. As it turns out, knowledge is power, and immediately change the blind tea drinking behavior. I've found that sometimes when you eat too much or get greasy at noon, a cup of green tea in the afternoon is pretty debilitating. Or on a hot summer day, the thirst comes into the house for a cup of green tea, and it is quite thirst-quenching. Taste the faint so-called bean fragrance with orchid fragrance, sweet and long-lasting, mouth fragrance, better than paying a few pieces of chewing gum [teeth]
The tea soup is refreshing at first glance
Tips for making green tea: (Don't be stupid with me)
1, the original brewing green tea is generally to use a glass, good looking and convenient, belongs to the knowledgeable. Like me, I don't have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of green tea, it's all up to imagination [cover your face]
2. What is the water temperature of green tea? It is said that green tea needs to use water at 75 to 85 ° C, otherwise boiling water will brew green tea and cause bitterness. It is also said that good tea is not afraid of boiling water, because green tea makers 艺️ have a high temperature to kill the green, so boiling water is no problem. Exactly how, I am a non-professional, do not judge. But drinking tea is to see the personal taste, I tend to make tea at a lower water temperature, one is that it does feel like the tea soup is slightly bitter in boiling water, and the other is that the water temperature is lower to make tea and can be drunk immediately, without waiting for convenience.
3, green tea is best to pour water first, and then put tea leaves, you can slowly watch the tea in the water tumbling, slowly stretching, a flag and a gun floating up and down, upside down in the water, suddenly is good-looking. Drinking tea is estimated to be talking about this scene, this feeling.
The name of Longjing tea began in the Song Dynasty, smelled in the Yuan, Yang yuming, and flourished in the Qing. In modern times, it flies into the homes of ordinary people. Combining tradition and modernity, I found that using Longjing to make a cup of handmade milk tea, that taste is mellow, contains a strong milk flavor in the tea aroma, both the fragrance of green tea, and the thick and sweet milk taste, coaxing children to be excellent drinks (simple to make, no additives, environmentally friendly and healthy), anyway, my son boasts GOOD!
Well, the Lion Peak Longjing that I drank by myself learned about this, and the next time I go to the West Lake, I must find out what is going on. Those trees, that tea garden, who else accompanies me to taste tea?
