Today is winter, the weather is slightly cool. I am in the "Tibetan Tea Pavilion Pu'er Old Tea House".
Holding the warm Dayi old tea soup in his hand, or bitter or sweet, or slippery or refreshing, the forehead also began to sweat slightly, unconsciously the stomach will be hungry...
I remembered that it would soon be the New Year, and I remembered the thick rice soup on the stove when I was a child.
Is rice soup also considered tea?
As children, our happiness was simple. Whenever Grandma skimmed the rice, the rice fragrance overflowed. The brothers and sisters who stayed in the countryside always followed the rice fragrance and ran to the kitchen and surrounded grandma to ask for rice soup to drink.
One of the well-behaved or clever ones, always shouting: "Drink milk... Drink milk...", a bowl of thick rice soup under the belly, really satisfied and happy...
The mischievous one will always steal some sugar. Whenever I saw him sharing a bowl of rice soup with my brother, I knew that he must have gone to steal white sugar again...
What if rice soup is added to sugar and then used the cold frost of winter to freeze it into ice? According to a younger brother who has eaten, the taste is the same as the expensive two-cent "glutinous rice popsicle"...
Mr. Wu Juenong, a giant in the Chinese tea industry, once said: "The tea ceremony is: "Regard tea as a precious and noble drink...". So, is rice soup a tea? Because it's so delicious! So precious! So noble!
2. Baoshan characteristic rice flower tea
If rice soup is not considered tea, it is not included in the tea ceremony. I think that Baoshan "rice flower tea" should be regarded as tea. Because every New Year's Festival, wedding celebrations, Baoshan is always indispensable to it.
When I was a child, I always liked to visit an older brother's house next door. His mother likes me! Every year after, when I go to their house to play, she always makes me a cup of sweet rice tea. I saw her do the following
1 Add brown sugar, walnut slices and sesame seeds to a bowl
2 Add the sautéed rice flowers (it should be rice or glutinous rice, heat and stir-fry the flowers)
3 Point into the boiling water inside the warm pot
4 Stir with chopsticks
5 Drink it while it's not hot
At that time, there was a shortage of materials, sugar, rice, walnuts were the most precious materials, and tea was even more lacking...
Rice aroma accompanied by tea aroma, warm and sweet, and walnut flavor of rice tea. It was a precious, noble drink from my childhood. At the same time, it also carries a tea word.
Is rice flower tea tea?
Three rice soup and rice flower tea, how come they are gone?
The years always pass so inadvertently, erasing too many taste memories of mountains and treasures and seafood, but what people can't forget is a little bit of fireworks.
From packing bags on my back, leaving home to study in the north, panning for gold in the south, and staying in Kunming, the tea in my hometown has always been with me.
Sixteen years seems to be just a dream. When I returned to my hometown, I seemed to be a child.
I struggled to find a bowl of rice soup and a bowl of rice flower tea. But it was never found again. The hometown has changed greatly, cooking is used in rice cookers, and tea is drunk on the unknown "famous mountain ancient trees".
Every New Year's Festival, the most drunk drink is the wine that is afraid of fear...
Fourth, every New Year's Festival, we can't do without rice tea
While drinking tea, I talked to the "Tibetan Tea Pavilion" shop about the memories and regrets of "rice flower tea". The shopkeeper listened to the sometimes eyebrow flying dance, sometimes strangled and sighed.
The shopkeeper told me, "Rice blossom tea is tea, and it is also the way of hospitality." In the era of lack of tea, the rice flower tea you drink represents the most solemn courtesy for you, which is in line with the truth of the tea ceremony..."
We unanimously believe that the loss of Baoshan rice flower tea is the result of the progress of the times and the improvement of people's living standards. However, the memory of that rice fragrance should be preserved forever.
Hidden Tea Pavilion shop, the mind is skillful. It was proposed to revitalize the idea of rice tea with the method of blending. The scenario is as follows:
1 Selected baoshan high-quality good rice, stir-fried
2 According to a certain proportion, it is mixed with Dayi Aged 7572
3 Take advantage of the characteristics of tea to absorb the flavor of rice. Brew out a, nostalgic dayi old rice fragrant Pu'er
The store introduced: "The activated carbon produced by fried rice, with aged 7572, should be specially scraped oil to help digestion, lower blood lipids and blood sugar, at the same time, the brewed tea soup, and increase the aroma of rice soup." This is also an innovation for Pu'er tea..."
The lord of the "Tibetan Tea Pavilion" also invited me to come to his "Tibetan Tea Pavilion" another day to prepare rice fragrant Pu'er together.
Today, in the winter, I am in the "Tibetan Tea Pavilion" Pu'er Old Tea House.
