Writing this article is purely a temporary idea. According to the relevant laws and regulations, even if a mistake is made, the punishment may be relatively light.
Thinking about it, the boldness is slightly bigger. Then I'll start talking!
Open the computer is ready to take revenge, in the afternoon chess lost two games, Grumpy, sure enough to win and lose strongly, vaguely see the true color of the bar spirit.
Sit and wait for the boot (probably bad website habitual browsing, each boot feels like it takes half an hour), looking at the afternoon chat history with a tea friend, my tea friend group, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, indeed many people, for pu'er tea understanding is quite profound. I think this must stem from a deep love for Pu'er tea, as well as extensive practice.
Carefully read the chat history, feel very reasonable, and even the more you look at it, the more shocked, can't help but be in a daze for a long time, associated and thought a lot. The following is a simple expression of our chat content, the views of tea friends, and my thoughts:
Tea friend's point of view: the tree is very good, quite conscientious, a single plant is sweet and bitter, no problem, but the ancient tree is picky and soft. Could it be a process problem, or is it stacked after kneading similar to the yellow tea process?
Then the tea friend tried to help me find out why: it may also be that the autoclaving time is long or it is a bit boring. Anyway, the bitterness goes a little too much.
For this inference and hypothesis, from my point of view, of course, it is not true, because the ancient tree, picking, single plant process are the same, kneading and other processes I am also in the whole process, it is impossible to knead after the sullen pile.
Tea friends think that my old Man'e ancient tree picking, bitterness is too light, the sweetness is high, the key is that she believes that this sweetness is not the sweetness of the tea itself, but the sweetness of fermentation, and this also deliberately made a sweet explanation: sweetness is divided into fermented sweetness and the sweetness of the tea itself. The sweetness itself will be more refreshing, and the fermented sweetness will have a lumpy texture, especially the ancient tree material, which is more directly sweet.
Another possible reason is that we knead it insufficiently, so the bitterness is low and the foam resistance is high. For this hypothesis, tea friends say this: many tea trees with large tree age are not tender, not high, leathery, kneading is not easy to knead, the containing substances are precipitated slowly, bitterness may be less obvious, and the foam resistance may be relatively high.
In addition, according to the chat content, it seems that this tea friend thinks that my ancient tree picking, too soft, bitter too low, these characteristics are not the characteristics of the real ancient tree, but refers to my hungry ancient tree picking is only to a certain age, but not old enough. (This also makes me feel contradictory, is it like my mixed picking, the heavy bitterness of ordinary ancient trees, but it is the characteristics of enough ancient trees?) For this, her explanation is as follows: when the tea plant reaches a certain age, the tail water will behave delicately and sweetly, and the astringency is relatively weak. But a little older, the performance is not this, but the waterway, the waterway is thin, the sense of clarity is strong, and there is strength! What is waterway fine? Many people think that a thin waterway is thin and soft.
This should mean that our ancient tree picking is too soft, too bitter, and lacks strength. On the whole, these comprehensive performances are either problems with craftsmanship or other aspects, or the trees are not old enough to be truly ancient trees.
In addition, tea friends also said a point of view: what is the foam resistance? Is it intense? Or is the bitterness weak and sour out of the water? Or is it always sweet to taste?
This needs to be answered by everyone, how do you think it is a water smell?
In addition, tea friends believe that many people's evaluation criteria for Pu'er tea are probably that the bubble resistance and tailwater are not sweet, fine or not, soft and soft, which is insufficient. Instead, it should be "not inclusive". My understanding is probably the so-called bubble resistance, waterways, many people are biased towards personal standards as standards, belonging to the thinking mode of liberal arts students, which is inaccurate. For example, mannuo, if a mannuo ancient tree, not bitter or astringent, or even astringent faster than bitter, not only can not prove that this mannuo is a good tea, but even prove that this tea is not mannuo!
My understanding of the judgment criteria that this tea friend thinks is probably like this. I said this a long time ago, and it is quite consistent with the views of tea lovers.
Admittedly, I know that this tea friend has no malice at all, but only stands in our point of view, starting from perfection, looking for possible shortcomings.
But I was actually a little confused. The main question is: the old Man'e picking is not bitter enough, not astringent enough, the sweetness is high, in the end is the original advantage of the old Man'e ancient tree? Or is it that old Man'e is not bitter enough to appear to be old Man'e?
Isn't that ordinary mixed picking, ordinary ancient trees, more in line with the definition of old Man'e? Of course, the reason why I say this is from my point of view, because I understand very well that the process is unified, there is no such flaw as mentioned above, and the final presentation is the true appearance of each kind of tree-age tea!
Then the problem comes out, first, our tea is naturally a standard tea of real materials.
Second, this tea friend is definitely a very senior tea friend, and his understanding of old Man'e is very profound. It is almost expert, but for our real standard ancient tree picking, it is questioned because it is too good, or it does not behave like the taste of the old Man'e ancient tree in the impression. That's a big deal in itself!
This problem is not to say that my tea friends do not understand the old Man'e, nor does this problem mean that my ancient tree picking is fraudulent or the process has changed. It just shows that the master's judgment of this tea has clashed with his original appearance!
Furthermore, we can extend the inference that even our old Man'e expert-level tea friends will question the real old Man'e, and even the advantages we think of can be reasonably described as similar to the shortcomings of the characteristics.
Then as our ordinary tea friends, as our understanding of tea is still shallow tea friends, the shortcomings of a tea are understood as advantages, and the advantages are understood as shortcomings, which is not a small probability event.
Tea friends, thinking about it is extremely frightening, and there is no excuse for wanting to add to the sin, which shows that tea is also affected by our subjective consciousness. So I lamented that the so-called standard of tea has no standard.
Finally, solemnly declare that there is no disrespect for this tea friend, but thanks from the bottom of the heart. It gave me a whole new way of seeing and thinking, and at the same time, the understanding of tea really rose to a higher level. Philosophical ideologies such as contradictions, contradiction transformations, etc., still exist in tea, exist in all things!
In addition, I think it is this tea friend's doubts and opinions that standing in my position can exclude all assumptions, so it proves that our old Man'e ancient tree picking is so real, and it can also be said that it is really excellent!
Haitao makes tea, the happiest thing is to receive feedback from tea friends, whether it is praise or criticism, I am really ecstatic! This is my motivation, the source of my passion! Thank you to every tea friend who gave feedback with all your heart, thank you!
