Collection of Huaxia: the beginning of the inventory of the top ten ancient figures

Lu Yu put down his back basket and sat opposite to Lin Yi, looking at the tea sets in Lin Yi's hands with some curiosity.

Different from the tea sets of the Tang Dynasty, the tea sets of later generations basically followed the tea making methods of the Ming Dynasty. The most important tools used were teapots, teacups, tea sets, and tea cups. , catkins and these things, later generations will be much more concise.

Lu Yu was well versed in the tea ceremony, so he didn't ask any questions, but quietly watched Lin Yi making tea.

Since it is the tea of ​​later generations, Ji Dong chose a variety that only appeared in later generations, Jin Junmei.

Jinjunmei is a branch of Lapsang Souchong, which was only developed in 05. There are not many authentic Jinjunmei in the market, because Jinjunmei is not a tea that can be produced by machinery, and the production of Jinjunmei needs to be done by hand.

The production of handmade tea is not high, so there are not many Jinjunmei in the market.

The audience in front of the TV knew Jin Junmei, so they started discussing in the live broadcast room.

"Why choose Jinjunmei?"

"Because Jinjunmei is a modern tea. Many teas, such as Lu'an Guapian and Taiping Houkui, were also available in the Tang Dynasty. If you want to choose tea from later generations, you must choose unique ones."

"Indeed, I drank genuine Jin Junmei once before, and it tastes really good, to be honest."

"Authentic Jinjunmei is more difficult. I haven't tried it, but I heard that it tastes good."

In the picture, Lin Yi used a copper pot to fetch water and put it on the stove to boil.

Lu Yu couldn't help reminding him aloud, "Mr. Lin, the water has burned."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Lu, the first step in the tea ceremony in future generations is to scald the cup. This water is not used for making tea."

Lu Yu felt it was novel, and said, "Hot the cup, this is a bit interesting."

Lin Yi ironed all the tea sets such as the tea bowl, teacup, tea cup, etc., then poured a pot of water and put it beside him.

He himself took out the tea leaves from the teapot and put them in the gaiwan.

The tea set chosen for brewing Jinjunmei is best to be white porcelain, so that you can better see the stretched posture of Jinjunmei in the water when brewing.

Lin Yi put away the tea leaves, the water in the copper pot here has been boiled, and the water temperature of Jin Junmei should be 80 to 90, which is when the water boils for the second time as Lu Yu said.

Lin Yi took down the copper pot, poured water into the teacup, poured water into the teacup, Lu Yu wanted to see the shape of the tea leaves, but Lin Yi immediately covered the teacup, and then poured out the tea soup.

Lu Yu looked at Lin Yi in surprise.

He had never heard of this method of brewing tea leaves directly in a bowl, but he could accept it anyway. Why did he pour out the tea soup now?

Lu Yu's expression caused the audience in front of the TV to laugh.

"Hahahahaha, the tea sage said, are you targeting me?"

"Hahahahaha, black tea does need to be washed. If it is relatively fresh green tea, there is not much need to wash the tea. After all, it is semi-fermented tea, so it still needs to be washed."

"Lu Yu expressed doubts, is this asking me to leave?"

Lu Yu was indeed very puzzled, and Lin Yi didn't explain. He lifted the tureen again and poured boiling water in it. This time he stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please have a look."

Lu Yu poked his head over. The tea leaves in the Tang Dynasty were all ground into powder and boiled in water. Therefore, when looking at tea soup and tea cakes, it was the first time that Lu Yu saw tea leaves unfolding in boiling water.

The picking standard of Jinjunmei is very strict. The freshest and tender part of the tea leaves must be picked. The top grade Jinjunmei takes the freshest tea buds plus two leaves, and the lower grade has more. But the picking season is when the tea leaves are at their tenderest.

After a variety of techniques, Jin Junmei has brought some micro-gold, not only the tea leaves look beautiful, but also the appearance of blooming in boiling water is even more pleasing to the eye.

Like a spring bud, when the wind blows, it stretches its arms, and like a woman dancing by the swan lake, it is light and soft, which makes people enchanted.

Lu Yu watched the tea leaves blooming in the tea bowl, and couldn't help clapping his hands.

"Okay, okay, this tea is really good, the best product, people in later generations can think of such a method, this tea seems to be alive in the water, it's really wonderful! It's wonderful!"

Lin Yi smiled, then closed the tureen, poured it into a small cup from the tureen, and placed it in front of Lu Yu with a bamboo clip.

Lu Yu carefully observed the tea soup. The tea soup was bright red, with a golden shimmer, and there was a golden halo at the place where the tea soup and the tea bowl touched.

Lu Yu, who saw it, was amazed, and said, "Could it be tribute tea? This tea seems to be full of fat. It is really rare to have such a gorgeous scene."

Lin Yi smiled and said: "This is the characteristic of Jinjunmei. This circle of light is called the golden circle, and it is the symbol of Jinjunmei."

Lu Yu nodded, smelled the tea, and was full of praise.

"Okay, it's sweet and fragrant, and it smells like watching a prosperous world."

Lu Yu took a sip, nodded continuously, and said: "Good tea, good tea, this tea tastes sweet, mellow and fresh, with a sweet aftertaste, and leaves a fragrance on lips and teeth, good tea, good tea!"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's good that Mr. Satisfied."

"What is this tea called?"

Lin Yi said: "This tea is called Jinjunmei. It is produced in the wild tea trees in Wuyi Mountain. Because of its slender shape, it is called eyebrow."

"Jin Junmei, Jin Junmei, good! Good!" Lu Yu drank the tea soup and nodded again.

He closed his eyes and savored the taste carefully.

It is sweet in the mouth, sweet in the end, the tea soup is gorgeous, and the taste of the tea is thick. Drinking this tea seems to see the prosperous scene of the later generations.

Lu Yu opened his eyes, put down his teacup, and said, "I've never heard of this tea. It really is the tea of ​​later generations. If Lu Yu can drink it in this life, it's not in vain."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, Tang tea can be brewed three times, but this Jinjunmei can be brewed twelve times. Each brew has a different flavor."

Surprised, Lu Yu looked at the teacup in his hand and said, "Twelve bubbles?"

"This tea can be brewed twelve times?"

He was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, and said: "Jun Lin, you have really taught me a lot today, your method of making tea, your golden eyebrows, future generations should have such creations, it's really wonderful. "

Lin Yi said with a smile: "This should also be attributed to Lu Gong. If Lu Gong hadn't written the "Tea Classic", how would future generations know the taste of this tea?"

Lu Yu laughed, stretched out his hand to pass the cup over, and said: "Don't praise me, you said that the twelve bubbles of Jinjunmei made me very curious, let me taste what the twelve bubbles taste like. yes."

Lin Yi smiled, and poured tea for Lu Yu.

The audience in front of the TV looked at the picture and said it was pleasing to the eye.

Chinese culture takes nature as the core. People are drinking tea in the mountains, surrounded by rain and mist, and new trees and green buds can be seen from time to time, as well as moss-covered rocks in the clouds. White, blue and black are mixed together. This unique aesthetic feeling , so that everyone can feast their eyes.
