Text/Little Chen Tea Affair
I think of a small episode about rock tea, which is about a friend who has been drinking tea for many years and met a tea friend who has just entered the rock tea circle.
This tea friend is a senior tea friend in the green tea circle, because he heard that rock tea is difficult to understand, so he came to learn to drink rock tea with the mentality of learning.
His master was this friend. When a friend taught the tea friend's tea drinking experience, he mentioned the concept of continental tea. Because this tea friend heard about Zhou Tea for the first time, he had preconceived notions that Zhou Tea was a tea produced somewhere, referred to as Zhou Tea.
This friend was a bit ridiculous, and later sent him an encyclopedia introduction about chau tea.
After reading it, this new tea friend suddenly realized that he finally understood what zhou tea was.
Speaking of this vignette, it is actually a very common situation in drinking tea, and everyone has had it.
Especially friends who have been drinking tea for many years, they often find it funny for this kind of basic introductory knowledge and some common sense mistakes that will be made, but whether they are friends who understand or do not understand, the village girl Chen recommends that you take a serious look at it, "What is the continental tea in rock tea."
What is Chau Tea?
Zhou tea refers to the tea produced on both sides of Chongxi, Jiuqu Creek and Huangbaixi Creek near Wuyi Rock.
Compared with Zhengyan tea, Zhou tea will inevitably have certain shortcomings, such as the aroma is not high enough, the soup is not mellow enough, etc. But it is precisely because of the existence of a variety of teas that the culture of rock tea has been enriched.
Speaking of chariot, it is inevitable that there are several other kinds of tea, such as Zhengyan tea, half-rock tea, waishan tea and so on.
Zhengyan tea refers to the tea produced in the center of Wuyi rock, its quality is fragrant and mellow, and the rock rhyme is particularly prominent.
Banyan tea refers to the tea produced at the edge of Wuyi Rock, and its rock rhyme is slightly inferior to that of Zhengyan tea.
Waishan tea refers to tea produced outside the Wuyi Mountains, such as tea produced by Jianyang Jian'ou.
Regarding the quality of these teas, friends who have drunk them must know it. Not only do you know, this ancient literati rioter and tea lover also have their own cognition of the quality of Zhengyan tea, banyan tea, and zhou tea.
In the Qing Dynasty, Chong'an County Ling Wang Zi "Tea Sayings": "Around Wuyi Mountain, all can grow tea, and there are two kinds of tea: those in the mountains are rock tea, and the upper products are secondary to those in the land."
"Those who go north to the mountains are the ones who go up to the north, and those who go up to the south are second" (Lu Tingcan's "Continuation of the Tea Classic").
In the Qing Dynasty Chong'an County Ling Lu Tingcan's "Suizhi Record", it is written: "Wuyi tea is rock tea on the mountain, and those at the water's edge are zhou tea." Rock tea is the upper, followed by chari. Rock tea, the north mountain is the upper, the south mountain is secondary. ”
The Qing Dynasty scholar Liu Pi also had a similar division of rock tea and zhou tea in the "A Few Moments of Leisure", and pointed out that "all rock teas are picked and roasted by various rock monks, and near and far Jia Ke buys them in various temples in Jiuqu, and there are no sellers in the city." Zhou tea is picked and sold by the people, and the shops buy it."
It can be seen that since ancient times, the production area of rock tea has been very elaborate.
It can be seen that the pursuit of good tea is not only strong for modern people, but also for ancient people.
If you drink rock tea, do you have to drink rock tea?
