Listen to a tea farmer friend in Wuyi Mountain.
On the weekend, a classmate who was in the 7th Department came from out of town and just happened to pass by him for tea.
Then he said that now in their circle, the people who can talk together only drink cinnamon.
The income level is relatively high, not Zhengyan does not drink, less than 2000 yuan do not drink.
After hearing these words, the tea farmer friend was very surprised.
Hurriedly asked, why is this?
His old classmate was indignant and said:
"Rock tea with a price of more than 2,000 can be tasteless three or four times, and more than 5,000 can only be drunk six or seven times!"
After listening to it, my friend was even more puzzled, thinking in his heart, is it difficult that he was pitted for many years when he bought tea?
Then, he silently accompanied the classmate and drank 1,000 pieces of cinnamon for half an afternoon.
Listen to the story shared by tea farmer friends.
Twist felt that fortunately, he did not tell him bluntly, saying that this cinnamon was only worth more than 1,000.
Otherwise, his old classmate who came to rub tea is estimated to be directly anxious with him...

Now rock tea, less than 2,000 yuan a pound can not drink at all?
If you say, the aforementioned tea drinking story, everyone talks and laughs and passes.
But if you think about it, you should be more vigilant about this kind of thinking.
If you say that rock tea must reach 2,000 yuan a pound to drink, it is terrible.
How many people in the country drink rock tea, what is the average salary, and can afford to consume such a high price of rock tea?
For most people who drink rock tea, it may take more than half a month to buy a pound of delicious tea.
And the tea addiction is slightly larger, that month's salary is all smashed down, it is estimated that it is only enough to drink tea!
Since when, the intuitive impression left by rock tea has become so bad.
Can't drink it for a lot of money.
Not a big amount of money.
This kind of "price-based tea" atmosphere should really be changed.
When it comes to the pricing of tea, pricing is difficult to standardize, which has always been a common disease in the industry.
Each tea is made and initially priced by the tea farmers themselves. Whether you are willing to sell cheap or expensive depends on the personal ideas of the tea farmers.
Then, after the tea merchants poured tea from the tea farmers, the pricing was even more dramatic.
After the packaging is ready and publicized, you can play freely in pricing.
Some tea merchants who understand tea will compare the purchased tea to try first, and then set a reasonable price one by one.
And some tea merchants themselves do not understand rock tea.
Instead, Phoenix Single Cong, Tieguanyin, Pu'er, Liupao Tea, Longjing Green Tea, etc., almost all tea-related businesses, all of which are involved.
But when it comes to professionalism, the shortcomings are obvious.
This part of the tea shopkeeper often has not drunk rock tea himself, not even Wuyi Mountain, has not touched the first-hand supply, but chose to sell tea from the local tea wholesale market.
When it comes to the final pricing, they are not sure whether a tea is good or bad.
Therefore, it is all based on personal mood and preferences to set the price.
It is precisely this kind of tea merchant who does not understand tea, because of his boldness and thick skin, he does not understand tea, but has the courage to continuously raise the value of rock tea.
After several hands tossing and turning, the final pricing is naturally not cheap.
In the end, of course, it became less than XXX yuan and could not drink!

Like the student who opened the 7th department at the beginning of the article, he should not have found a good rock tea channel.
Then he was brainwashed by bad merchants for a long time and was pitted to buy tea.
Over time, nature is deeply lost.
However, according to the other party's example description, "rock tea with a price of about 2,000 can only be brewed three or four times." ”
That's an exaggeration!
The serving size of a bubble of rock tea, let alone 7 or 8 grams.
When making tea in a covered bowl, if it is only brewed three or four times, the tea soup will be completely tasteless.
That has to be said, such a rock tea, the accumulation of endoplasm is too inferior!
Empty, dull, not powerful enough.
So that in the process of brewing tea, the leaching of tea flavor substances is a drumbeat, then decay, three and exhausted.
After only three brews, the taste of tea has dropped sharply.
Seriously, such rock tea is not worth around 2000 at all.
Selling for 200 yuan or so is reasonable.
According to twist experience, the quality of rock tea of about 2,000 pounds is far from being so bad.
Although, according to today's prices, rock tea in the core production area is about 2,000 yuan. The mountain field is not so positive, and the taste of tea soup is not so mellow and full.
When drinking tea, due to the environmental influence of the Xiantian Mountain Field, the taste of tea soup is slightly insufficient.
However, under the premise of doing green thoroughly, walking smoothly, and baking fire in place.
Such rock tea should also be aromatic, and the tea taste has layers.
When using a lid bowl to make tea, as long as you avoid deliberately smouldering, then brewing about six or seven flushes is not a problem.
If you spend more than 2,000 prices, buy a pound of rock tea that will become dull after brewing three punches.
Then this is inevitable, the cost performance is too low!

When buying rock tea, bubble resistance is a topic that many tea customers care about.
But Twist wants to say that when buying rock tea, don't just look at the foam resistance.
Whether a bubble of rock tea is resistant to brewing or not is affected by many factors.
Objectively, including the mountain field environment, green effect, roasting process, storage situation, etc.
Subjectively, many reasons can also be found.
For example, the amount of tea thrown is too small, and only half a tea bag is put into it each time.
For example, if the smouldering time is too long, it is very likely.
Some tea drinkers with heavy tea taste have long developed the habit of "every tea must be stuffy".
In addition, some of the inferior rock tea with a dull tea taste accumulates, and it is brewed in a fast water way, and the tea taste is easy to fade.
The gong does not need a heavy hammer, and the gong that does not sound needs to be struck hard.
The inferior tea that was originally of weak inner quality, the house leaked in the overnight rain, and each flush was directly stuffy for a minute or so and then the soup came out, of course, it would quickly burn out the endoplasm and become extremely impatient to bubbles.
For example, the influence of personal tea drinking taste.
Everyone's tea drinking taste is difficult to adjust and different.
Twist has seen that individual people who drink tea are more trenches, and the attitude of drinking tea is "weak water three thousand only take a scoop".
Believing that "no matter how good the tea is, after drinking 4 or 5 flushes, you should also have fun", and you are reluctant to continue to brew and drink.
And some people pay attention to the ultimate use of things.
I think that as long as a bubble of rock tea is brewed, with a little brown, you can continue to brew and drink.
On the contrary, it is better to have a little color and taste than boiled water.
Therefore, in their hands, any brewing rock tea can easily brew 15+ excellent bubble resistance times.
But in fact, the tea taste quality is not necessarily first-class!
Wuyi rock tea is not a hero based on the number of bubbles.
It is not to directly argue whether it is resistant to bubbles or not.
When using a covered bowl to make tea, it can brew five or six times under the quick water brewing, and then it can be stuffy for two or three times after the tea taste is light.
In line with this performance, for high-quality rock tea. You can only get a passing score, that's all.
In addition, the more important thing is to see the performance of tea aroma, tea flavor and charm!

The tea aroma of Wuyi Rock Tea requires a long aroma, long-lasting and penetrating.
The fragrance is rich in layers, and in addition to the basic floral and fruity aromas, it is also necessary to reflect clear variety characteristics.
The aroma is elegant and the tea aroma falls into the water.
When you finish a cup of tea, the aroma is able to stay in your mouth for a long time.
Moreover, the tea soup also has a smooth performance, thick, moist, mellow.
With a sip of tea soup on the tongue, you can feel the feeling of wrapping.
The tea is mellow and has a strong gum texture. Sip into the tea soup and savor it.
It's just as if every drop of tea soup has hidden a wonderful taste level.
So that after drinking tea, the body and mind are comfortable and particularly pleasant.
It includes a pleasant experience that lasts for a long time, with a cool feeling in the mouth and a clear sense of vitality, and will stay for a long time.
The continuous aftertaste after drinking tea is the best summary of the charm of a good tea.
Rock tea with good aroma, tea taste and charm can be called first-class in terms of cost performance.
Otherwise, there is no bubble, but every tea soup is bitter to drink.
Even if such a tea is resistant to brewing, it cannot win a good feeling!
