Gong Jufang elaborated on the past life and present life of Nanchang jasmine
The word fashion, like a hurricane, has taken away many old brands and old folk customs in old Nanchang, perhaps the blind obedience of the world, or the traditional backwardness. The crying and greeting songs of marrying relatives and daughters in memory are almost extinct in the vast rural land. As for the old Sanhua wine, the old Tongxing soy sauce and the like, there is nowhere to be found. The Nanchang jasmine tea that accompanied the grandparents and fathers was indispensable, and it is difficult to find it now.
Although the Nanchang tea style is flourishing, the opening and closing of the mouth are only raw Pu, ripe Pu, Zhengshan small varieties, old white tea and the like, even if there is a flower tea, it is just a newly popular chrysanthemum tea. Is the nanchang jasmine tea that the old Nanchang people miss is okay?

Unforgettable Nanchang jasmine tea
Remember that at that time, the grandmother loved tea, the father was also good tea, in that era of material scarcity, high-end tea even if there is money and nowhere to buy, not to mention the poor and destitute people's families, but do not dare to expect to drink good tea, but the father always saves money, and tries to buy some of the cheapest and most expensive Nanchang jasmine tea on the market. Two huge enamel handles are the special master cups for grandmothers and fathers, and the tea scale on the inner wall has become tan, and it is not clean to wash, but it gives people a warm warmth, a kind of peace.
When I was a child, I also became acquainted with Nanchang jasmine tea, got the nourishment of jasmine tea, and felt the flower dance and soft fragrance of jasmine tea when brewing jasmine tea.
I drank tea, purely cattle drink, picked up the teapot and grunted into the throat, a large amount of water will be exhausted, only to stop, and then breathe a long sigh of relief. It's like holding back in the water for a long time, and in a flash of time when you rise from the water, you can regain the feeling of regaining your life when you open your mouth to breathe fresh air, and you are full of happiness and happiness. The so-called "Zen tea" that is free and relaxed, cheerful and transparent, and is not the popular kind of serious sitting and pretending to smell the cup and chant.
Drinking tea is to drink great freedom, call him three seven twenty-one, drink and then say. So-called: holding a bowl for no reason, sending it to tea lovers. Just like the kusana tea ceremony advocated by Senritsu, the form is simple and the heart is joyful.
"Xinmao Gong Ji Tea Number" Gong Jufang tells the glory of old Nanchang jasmine tea
When I met the authentic Nanchang jasmine tea again, it was already the early summer season of the ugly. I gathered with Gong Jufang, the 14th generation inheritor of Nanchang Jasmine Tea Xinmao Gongji Tea, and listened to her narration, admired some of her collection of documents about "Xinmao", the utensils for making jasmine tea, visited her Nanchang Jasmine Tea Studio, and tasted the Nanchang Jasmine Tea that she personally made and brewed, which was truly a general understanding of the past life and present life of Nanchang Jasmine Tea.
At The Xinmao Gongji Tea, I heard for the first time the legendary story of Mr. Gong Qianshou, the technical leader of Nanchang Jasmine Tea after the liberation and the 13th generation of Shinmo, who loved the production of jasmine tea all his life and made tea for the founding leader in the 1970s.
However, it is said that the word "Xinmao", which Gong Jufang worships as a precious treasure, turned out to be very promising. Gong Jufang said that "Xinmao" has appeal in Nanchang jasmine tea. Elderly people will hear "Nobumo" and say, "Oh, Shinmo's jasmine tea is delicious, just look for this tea to drink." ”
"Xinmao" began during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. Hu Maoqing, a native of Jixi, Anhui Province, opened the "Xinmao South Goods Tea Number" at the intersection of Xiangshan Road and Minde Road in Nanchang, making jasmine tea and selling refreshments such as wick cakes and cloud cakes. "Shinmo" was in business until the 1950s.
Gong Jufang said: "I applied for the trademark 'Xinmao' because it is a long-established brand. Add the word 'Gong Ji' to the old signboard. It was because my father, Mr. Gong Qianshou, retired from apprenticeship in Shinmo to work and dedicated his life to Shinmo, which later became the Nanchang Tea Factory. He has been making this jasmine tea all his life, and for Nanchang jasmine tea, my father, Mr. Gong Qianshou, has made great achievements, he is an old craftsman, an old teamaker. ”
Mr. Gong Qianshou was born in 1910 in Xiangtang people's clan in Nanchang County. When he was 13 years old, he went to the "Xinmao" at that time to do miscellaneous work, the boss saw that he was loyal, down-to-earth, strict in self-discipline, hardworking, and hardworking, so he participated in the kilning of jasmine tea, and later in charge of the quality control of jasmine tea, he was deeply valued by the boss and became the 13th generation of "Xinmao".
After the liberation of Nanchang, the people's government integrated the resources of the tea industry, established the Nanchang Tea Factory, and specially invited Gong Qianshou to serve as the chief of the production section of the Nanchang Tea Factory, specifically responsible for the technical work of jasmine tea kilning, producing green tea and jasmine tea, which are exported to the northeast, north China and Henan, Shandong and other places. In the 1980s, jasmine tea in Nanchang Tea Factory was exempt from inspection.
Gong Jufang's female history talked about the Lushan Conference in 1970, and the old man's interest was high, and his eyes shone with pride. It turned out that during the cloud and fog of Lushan Mountain, Mr. Gong Qianshou was ordered to make special tea for the Lushan Conference - tea for the Chairman, Tea for the Presidium, and Tea for the Conference. Mr. Gong Qianshou was alone, making tea behind closed doors, guarded outside the door by guards with guns, and performing his duties with all his heart, until the tea leaves were made and sent to Lushan by special car.
This little-known history of Nanchang jasmine tea carries the glory and pride of Nanchang jasmine tea, if it is not Gong Jufang's female history, perhaps the past is like the wind, there is no trace.
Jasmine tea is not yet in love
Gong Jufang's daughter Shi shi from childhood under the influence of her father and the teaching of words and deeds, very early mastered the kilning process of Nanchang jasmine tea, she worked in Nanchang tea factory until her retirement in 1999.
Inspired by her dream of resurrecting Nanchang jasmine tea, she joined the Jiangxi Qipao Cultural Research Association in 2016. Piano, chess, books, paintings, tea is the foundation of the qipao, and the president especially likes jasmine tea, has a deep memory of the jasmine tea of old Nanchang, the two hit it off, and produced the idea of spreading the old Nanchang jasmine tea in the promotion and publicity of the culture in the qipao. Gong Jufang said to do it, starting from the collection of historical documents of "Xinmao" and excavating the literary and historical archives of Nanchang Jasmine Tea, etc., to establish the cultural confidence, process confidence and quality confidence of Nanchang Jasmine Tea.
Through running the Archives Bureau, consulting ancient books and documents and "Nanchang Jisheng" and other channels, the brilliant achievements of "Xinmao" in the late Qing Dynasty have been excavated - in 1908 (the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu), Xu Jiahe, the prefect of Nanchang, sent the jasmine tea of xinmao nan goods to Beijing to pay tribute to the emperor, and the Guangxu Emperor praised it and gave a gold medal, and then once spread the reputation of jasmine tea as "the first fragrance in the world". In 1905, The (Zhulanjing) flower tea produced by Shinmao won the gold medal of the World Tea Fair. And checked the tea industry pride created by Mr. Gong Qianshou of Nanchang Tea Factory - the "ZhulanJing" flower tea he made won the gold medal of the World Food Expo in 1985, and the honorary title of high-quality famous tea of the Ministry of Agriculture in 1988...

With living historical documents as a spiritual pillar, Gong Jufang began her great journey of resurrecting Nanchang jasmine tea and awakening the memory of old Nanchang. First of all, it was a very small, experimental trial, and then it was posted all over the hero post, inviting tea lovers from all walks of life to taste it extensively, including the elderly Nanchang elderly, listening to opinions, transforming and upgrading, recalling the taste of old Nanchang jasmine tea, which was affirmed and appreciated by insiders. Even celebrities such as Li Douluo, the old mayor of Nanchang City, and Hou Yaohua, a cross-talk performance artist, also flocked to taste the Nanchang jasmine tea personally prepared by Gong Jufang.com.
In order to make a base tea suitable for making jasmine tea, Gong Jufang has visited many tea producing areas such as Fujian, Kunming, Hangzhou, etc., personally went to brew tea, see the soup color, taste the taste, and selected it to be used to make jasmine tea suitable for the taste of old Nanchang jasmine to ensure the quality and freshness of the tea. And to Guangxi Hengxian jasmine production base to inspect the factory, the selected tea base will be transported to the jasmine base for kilning, just to find the taste of the old Nanchang jasmine tea.
Gong Jufang's wish is to let Nanchang jasmine tea be re-displayed in front of the people, let everyone feel the taste of jasmine tea drunk by grandparents when they were young, retrieve the memory of old Nanchang, enrich the Jiangxi tea brand, and create a brilliant tomorrow for Nanchang jasmine tea.
The jasmine tea of old Nanchang has a unique taste, exquisite craftsmanship, bright soup color, fragrant into the bone, and deep into the tea soup. Moreover, the high-end jasmine tea created by Gong Jufang's female history cannot see the petals inside. In the production process, through the unique kilning process, the pure jasmine fragrance is completely adsorbed by the tea leaves, the floral fragrance is rich and does not see the flowers, and the tea can be nourished and drunk.
Asked about the future development ideas, Gong Jufang said frankly that it is necessary to walk on two legs, grasp high-end products with one hand, and take the mass line on the other. High-end products are to meet the needs of private customization, the mass line is in response to the government's call, so that Nanchang jasmine tea into the community, return to the ordinary people's chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea daily, become an ordinary part of family life. After all, the preference and habit of drinking Nanchang jasmine tea carries the brand of the times and the memory of generations of inheritance, and the fragrance of Nanchang jasmine tea is a refreshing and rare fragrance in the ordinary life of the people.
Nanchang jasmine tea on the Qing Dynasty "Xinmao" legal vein, the father of the founding leader of the founding of the tea and family origins, in time, Gong Jufang and her "Xinmao Gong Ji Tea" to create Nanchang jasmine tea, will be a stone to stir up a thousand layers of waves, awaken the old Nanchang dusty memory, swept the tea industry, and create brilliance again.
Gong Jufang female history said that according to the chinese medicine tea medicine homology, jasmine tea has the effect of removing cold evil, increasing yang qi, refreshing the mind, and promoting health, and his biggest expectation is that consumers can change their concepts, through the drinking of jasmine tea, have health, have happiness, live easily, live happily, live out taste, improve quality, and enhance temperament.
Gong Jufang wrote in her diary: Nanchang jasmine tea is not exaggerated, does not make false, does not invite stars, does not play with flower racks, and is down-to-earth -
Make tea
Make the tea
Make wild tea
Make a good tea that the people like
Made to improve the health of the whole people tea
The long road is long, "Xinmao Gongji Tea" also needs to constantly innovate cultural and fashion brands, make full use of various communication channels, promote the integration of tea culture and fashion culture, and cultivate more young people's consumption.
