Lao He was an authentic farmer, and his tea making days in Putuo Mountain made him like tea, so he went home and cleaned up this tea mountain. I think it's going to be made
The most famous tea in Zhoushan is "Putuo Buddha Tea". Putuo Buddha Tea is a historical famous tea in Zhoushan, which is related to the rise of Putuo Mountain. Tea and Buddhism have deep roots in themselves. Putuo Buddha tea as the city's historical famous tea, once interrupted, after the reform and opening up, the city began to restore the production of Putuo Buddha tea.
The restoration and trial production of Putuo Buddha tea draws on the process of Biluochun and has been innovated, with the form of shape resembling a snail instead of a snail, an eyebrow instead of an eyebrow, and a tea appearance as the main feature, which belongs to a kind of curved tea.
Putuo Buddha tea, like a snail not a snail, like an eyebrow not an eyebrow, tea is fully displayed
The reason why this article introduces Putuo Buddha tea is because I want to introduce the owner of the tea farm, He Yongnian, whom I call Lao He. Before Contracting this tea garden, Lao He used to be a tea master in Putuo Mountain, and the stir-frying craft is the process that originated from the early 80s and is called Lafayette tea. Of course, this old word, what it represents is the hand-fried technology in the type, the part of the millimeter, that is, it is closer to the spiral shape, and with more tea millimeters.
Lao Ho's tea garden, this is one of them
Lao He's tea garden is located in the north cicada Zhujiajian, so I call it Zhujiajian Tea Garden, of course, Zhujiajian is derived from the small place name of the mountain where the tea garden is located. Lao He has a total of three tea gardens, although not connected together, it is relatively close, each tea garden has a distance of about 100 meters, all above the mountain. And the old He family's small place in the village is called Sand Hall, making tea at home, there is a primary processing room next to the house, so it is called Sand Hall Tea Factory. About Lao He's tea garden I introduced in the article Dinghai Mountain Tea Garden, located on the hill upstream of the Yaojiawan Reservoir Area of the North Cicada, consisting of three independent tea gardens, a total area of about 40 acres less than the point, the variety is the Pigeon Pit group species. Before Lao He was contracted, it was a deserted tea plantation planted in the 1960s and not much care later.
This is the southernmost other piece, which can overlook the skyline of Zhoushan New Town and the sea in the distance
I think the standing conditions of this tea garden are still quite good, the soil conditions are good, although it is on the top of the mountain, but it is also a bit of a leeward ride. Standing in the tea garden, you can overlook the scenery of the new city in the distance, as well as the sea in the distance, although there is no feeling of seeing the mountains and small, but there is also a spring breeze ten miles tea exhibition, the scenery of red flowers blooming towards the sea next to the mountain. If there is a disadvantage, the altitude is a little high, relatively speaking, the time of new tea on the market every year is a little later, such as this year to the end of March.
Since Lao He contracted this tea garden, he stopped making tea in Putuo Mountain and began to build a tea processing workshop in his home, professionally making Putuo Buddha tea, and taught the people in his family to become good at stir-frying tea.
I took a picture of Lao Ho
In my eyes, Dinghai's handmade Putuo Buddha tea is better fried than the one introduced to you today. Mainly stems from Lao Ke's control of tea quality. Including fresh leaf raw materials, picking mainly 1 leaf and 1 bud, such a fresh leaf standard I think the production of Buddha tea is the most delicious; followed by special attention to the stall green process, this year in the spring tea season before the purchase of a stall machine; the third is the high requirements for the manual link, in the shape and rise of the more serious, so the shape of the Old Ho Buddha tea is still very good; the fourth is high dryness. The use of Titian machine foot dry, although it is easy to break during the loading process, but compared to the degree of dryness, drying is the most important.
One bud and one leaf and one bud and two leaves are the main raw materials for the processing of Buddha tea, such fresh leaves are the best in terms of taste, in fact, the grade of Buddha tea is mainly derived from fresh
The first baking in the processing of Buddha tea
Lao He said that he packed the tea garden because he liked tea leaves and had a pleasure in the process of making tea. Every year during the tea season, Lao He and his wife are too busy to come, so his brother-in-law, son and daughter all come to help. The stability of family members, the improvement of handicraft skills over the years, the improvement of equipment, and the understanding of tea quality make me feel the unique atmosphere of the family tea farm and the understanding of tea and life.
The stage of hand-stir-frying after the first baking, this process often has a greater impact on taste, color and shape
Hand-stir-frying is also a skill, and the most important thing is the understanding of the changes in tea leaves through the feel
Of course, because it is the labor force of the farmer's own family, the processing cost is relatively low. When I recommend The Buddha Tea in my area, I generally recommend Lao Ho's Buddha Tea for 2 reasons:
First, the tea is done well, the raw materials are good, the handwork is good, and the quality control is good;
Second, the price is relatively affordable, at least first-hand, and in my opinion, the tea of the old He family, no matter what the price, has been hand-fried and carefully prepared.
This is a mid-to-late fresh leaf, a tea leaf that is finished by hand, and also needs to be dried with Titian feet
If you are interested in the Buddha tea produced in Dinghai, I suggest you try the handmade Buddha tea from Bei cicada Lao He in Dinghai District, Zhoushan City. This tea garden is also a single tea garden recommended by DinghaiShan, because it comes from the old tea garden grown by the Jiukeng group for more than 50 years.
