Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Getting to Know Tieguanyin for the First Time

Drinking tea in the early years, I like tea made from flowers and red leaves.Huahong is a small deciduous tree (Malus asiatica), with ovate or oval leaves, pink flowers, spherical fruit, like a small apple, yellow-green with reddish.Tea made from Huahong leaves has the original aroma of trees, slightly sweet but not bitter, and has a wide taste range.In summer, there are large enamel barrels in factory workshops and schools. It is a classic tea for the booze drinkers. When I became an adult, I knew that the flower red leaves were tea fakes, so I tried my best to conceal the history of drinking flower black tea, and I must call it Longjing Yunwu, and Silver Needle Biluochun, just like when I wrote poems and words, I must call Bei Dao Shu Ting, or Gu Cheng, as if Then I really understood tea. Looking back now, I just drank a few pinches of Yingshan green tea.Yingshan is now famous for tea, because Tiantangzhai, the main peak of Dabie Mountain, is in Yingshan.Obviously, people who talk about famous teas do not drink famous teas every day. Now who says that they drink Mingqian tea 365 times a year, I also doubt it.So, I decided not to hide my history of drinking black tea.

I think that the famous tea I drink should be Tieguanyin.One autumn, the sky was clear and clear, the sun was bright and the clouds were white, and wild geese flew southward in a figure-shaped formation. The harvesters shake their copper-colored arms. They cut off the golden late rice, and then hold the straws filled with green and sweet smells and thump the grains in front of the grain-tatting barrels surrounded by bamboo mats. Get up, give Yuancun Qinglong a ball of blue.Autumn is here, it is a beautiful season.My colleague Huang Zhenghua brought back a can of tea, and told me and a few other literary friends early on that it was the famous tea Tieguanyin, so I went to drink tea at his house after get off work.

After get off work, this group of guys who felt that they were full of sentimentality walked casually to Huang Zhenghua's house in white shirts. Huang Zhenghua's house was next to the street. It was a small abandoned mine street with bungalows.On the flat roofs of the kitchens in the impression, there are flower beds where peppers and cabbage are planted.Set up chairs at the door, sit down, shake your legs, and greet past acquaintances.Said to drink tea here.A little ostentatious.Waiting for Huang Zhenghua to boil water to make tea.The water was boiled well water, and the tea set was a set of locally produced "Yixing Zisha teapot". Each person gave us a purple sand cup. Watching Huang Zhenghua rinse the cup, wash the tea, smell the fragrance, and then put it firmly Brew the tea.Sure enough, Tieguanyin has a fragrance of orchid, which is very pleasant.Just as he was about to drink, Huang Zhenghua grabbed a new toothbrush and said, brush your teeth, do you know this is famous tea?So, we lined up in front of the dry ditch next to the street for famous tea, brushing our teeth happily in the golden glow of the setting sun.At that time, I thought it was very sacred, or very high-class, very high-end. From now on, we are tea lovers who know how to drink tea. We will drink the famous tea Tieguanyin soon. Do the people who come and go in this street understand?The top ten famous tea Tieguanyin is packed in a square tin box.

After brushing my teeth, I started to drink tea.We all held our cups, and glanced at Huang Zhenghua with eyes aligned. Huang Zhenghua would naturally take the lead. With thick lips sipping the purple sand cup, we sucked in a trace of tea forcefully and with difficulty, and made a creaking sound. We all followed suit, and then There was a creaking sound, like a group of mice coming out of the hole, the sound was endless.People also feel that Anxi Tieguanyin, which is fragrant with orchids, enters from the mouth, reaches the throat and turns around the nasal cavity, like a cloud of fragrance, and the gossamer trembles, it explodes the channel of feeling, it is an orchid bomb.The color of Tieguanyin soup is light yellow and bright, sweet and slightly astringent, followed by a light sweet tail, like the sunset in the apple orchard, the sunset is getting farther away, and the fragrance is far away, but the fragrance still lingers on the tongue for three times and slowly endlessly.This time, I drank a total of six teas, and I was actually a little drunk, which I have never encountered before.After going out, the lingering fragrance of Tieguanyin is lingering. I think it is indeed a good tea.

Strictly speaking, Huang Zhenghua should be my tea master, including my group of colleagues.But because he once instructed us to brush our teeth collectively before drinking tea, we were unwilling to admit that he was the master.After drinking Tieguanyin, Huang Zhenghua said that he would get some authentic West Lake Longjing, and drink again, which stunned us again.From now on, drinking tea will be regarded as one thing, not just quenching thirst. The fragrance of tea travels for three thousand miles, and the old drink and the new sip are two distinct.
