The strongest tea ceremony

Chapter 5 Interview: Appreciating Tea (33)

"Mr. Chen, please come in!" Luo Xi opened the door, and the fragrance of tea came rushing into the room, immediately dispelling Chen Long's "dirty" thoughts.

Luo Xi was in the teahouse business for real money, and this "Wu Zetian" room was filled with all kinds of tea.

There are Tieguanyin in cans, West Lake Longjing tea in bags, brick tea Pu'er, Xinyang Maojian, Wuyishan black tea and so on.

Chen Long stared wide-eyed at the tea leaves in this room. They were all Chinese teas, including green tea, black tea, white tea, and dark tea.

Luo Xi walked slowly among the tea shelves, smiled calmly, and said, "Mr. Chen, how is it? The tea in my shop is of good grade and appearance, right?"

"Boss Luo, you really are a knowledgeable person. These teas look very good..."

Luo Xi quickly interrupted Chen Long, "These days, some applicants for tea tasters also came, but I rejected them all. At least in my opinion, they don't understand tea at all, and most of them are arty. If you want to enter the hall, let alone taste tea, you can’t even distinguish the most basic tea types.”

Chen Long felt a little uneasy. Although he loves tea, he has only loved tea these years. If he wants to study tea ceremony and tea culture in depth, he may not reach the level of an expert.

"Boss Luo, since you are recruiting from the expensive teahouse, you can ask me questions and assess me according to the normal recruitment process."

"Very well, I like dealing with smart people the most. Of course, Mr. Chen, I want to find a partner who really understands tea and loves tea, so please rest assured that I will deal with business..."

After finishing speaking, Luo Xi has already walked to a table with various tea leaves, "Then, for the first assessment, please answer Mr. Chen, what are the categories of tea?"

So simple?Did the tea taster get away with it so easily?
Hey, I said Miss Luo, I guess you only have a superficial understanding of tea, do you think I am such a tea drinker, I don’t even know the types of tea?
Since you asked, if I don't answer, it means I don't understand.

Chen Long restrained the joy in his heart, and replied solemnly: "Generally, according to the different processing techniques of tea, tea is divided into six categories, namely: green tea, white tea, yellow tea, green tea, dark tea, and black tea."

There was no superfluous expression on Luo Xi's face, as always, she remained as calm as a mirror.

Is it wrong?Why is there no reaction at all?

Normally speaking, I could tell something from Luo Xi's expression after I answered the answer, but when Luo Xi asked the question, his expression became extremely serious, and he was completely different from the tea making before.

It must be that Luo Xi is a rigorous person when dealing with work, and now that she is an interviewer, any expression changes on her face can be caught by the job seekers, and then smart job seekers will say something to cater to the changes in the interviewer's expression. If the interviewer likes it, it will cause the interviewer's judgment to be inaccurate.

Luo Xi is really amazing!
Chen Long couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart, even if he had to pass the "interview" today, it would probably take some effort.

"What's the way to tell the difference?" Luo Xi continued to ask questions as calmly as water.

"From a more intuitive point of view, the appearance gradually changes from green to yellow-green, yellow, green brown, and black. From the oxidation of tea polyphenols, or the degree of fermentation, green tea is not fermented, white tea is slightly fermented, yellow tea is lightly fermented, and green tea is semi-fermented. Fermentation, post-fermentation of black tea, full fermentation of black tea, the tea soup also gradually changes from green to yellow-green, yellow, green-brown, and reddish-brown.”

"Be more specific!"

"Green tea series, such as fried green Longjing and Biluochun; roasted Fujian and Zhejiang baked greens; sun-dried Dianqing and Chuanqing; steamed greens such as Sencha and Yulu."

Luo Xi is challenging her professional knowledge of tea. If I don't take out some things from the bottom of the box, it seems that I won't be able to restrain her.So, he told Luo Xi about the common teas on the market and the specific processing techniques.

"White tea series, such as silver needle of bud tea, white peony leaf tea; yellow tea series, such as Junshan silver needle of yellow bud tea, Wenzhou yellow soup of yellow small tea, Huoshan yellow big tea of ​​yellow big tea..."

Luo Xi frowned slightly as she listened. Although it was not easy to detect, she couldn't escape Chen Long's discerning eyes. From her subtle expression, Chen Long felt a little confidence in his heart, or, with his professional description, Luo Xi Xi is approved.

As long as it is approved, it will be easy to handle and have fun!

"Let's talk about the green tea series. In fact, green tea belongs to oolong tea, such as the northern Fujian oolong Wuyi Mountain rock tea, the southern Fujian oolong Anxi Tieguanyin, the GD oolong Phoenix Narcissus and Dan Cong, the Taiwanese oolong Dongding oolong..."

Listening to Chen Long's eloquent talk, Luo Xi felt more and more interesting the more she listened to it, and she was able to understand all kinds of tea, even she herself was not as good as Jiazhen.

"Mr. Chen, you are indeed very professional. You might as well finish the rest. I will take it as a learning opportunity."

Chen Long secretly rejoiced in his heart. This already showed that Luo Xi had to admire Chen Long's knowledge of tea, so let's continue.

"Okay, let's talk about the black tea series, YN Pu'er tea, GX Liubao tea, HB old green tea, HN Anhua black tea, etc.; the remaining black tea series, such as Lapsang Souchong of Souchong black tea, Dianhong of Gongfu black tea , Qihong, Minhong, leaf tea, broken tea, sliced ​​tea, etc..."

After Chen Long finished speaking, Luo Xi couldn't help applauding, and praised: "Mr. Chen, his professional knowledge of tea is very remarkable. The last assessment..."

She paused for a moment, and pointed to the tea on the wooden table, a handful of tea leaves scattered among several small saucers.

"There are different kinds of tea in the small saucers on the table. Please tell Mr. Chen what kind of tea is in each saucer."

Sure enough, she was cautious, she thought that I would only talk on paper and have a good theoretical level, but in fact, I don't even know what tea looks like.

Hmm, you can assess me, but I will let you know what it means to understand tea.

Chen Long walked to the table and glanced at the tea in the small saucer on the table. To a layman, it looked like there was some loose tea in the small saucer, and they all looked alike.

From left to right, Chen Long picked up one or two grains of tea in the first small dish with his fingers, put it under his nose to smell it, put it in his mouth, chewed a little, and smiled lightly: "This is Liu'an Guapian. "

“How come you see?”

"Liu'an Guapian is a special type of green tea. Among all the teas in the world, Lu'an Guapian is the only tea without buds and stems. It is made from a single leaf. After removing the buds, it not only maintains a single piece of shape, but also has no grassy taste; The stalk has been lignified during the production process. After removal, it can ensure that the tea tastes strong but not bitter, fragrant but not astringent. Lu'an melon slices are picked within ten days before and after Grain Rain. When picking, two or three leaves are taken for "strongness" Don't ask for 'tender'."
