Chapter 1012 White Tea
·
Dan Jian Ting Chao
The atmosphere in the tea room became a little subtle.
Lu Chake and Shi Chunqiu were both waiting for Liu Fusheng's reaction.
But neither of them expected that Liu Fusheng did not explain anything, nor did he refute or change his words. He just smiled slightly, turned his head and looked at the glass door at the back of the tea room and said: "Mr. Lu is called a tea guest, so he must be someone in the family." There should be plenty of tea, right?"
Lu Tea Guest nodded and said, "Yes, I did save some tea here."
Liu Fusheng continued to ask: "I wonder if there is white tea here, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Tea Customer has a large collection of tea. Although in his eyes, white tea cakes are not popular, he still has many collections.
After Lu Tea Guest nodded, Shi Chunqiu suddenly smiled and said: "Director Liu asked the right person. White tea has no audience, and many tea shops don't sell it. But here, Leader Lu has some collections... From Shoumei, which is the lowest quality, to Leader Lu has all the silver needles of the highest quality, and they are all inclusive."
Liu Fusheng smiled and asked: "Is there any white tea that is more than three years old?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tea Guest said with some pride: "I also have a collection of old tea that is more than three years old, more than ten years old, or even more than twenty years old!"
Liu Fusheng immediately showed an expression of admiration and said, "Mr. Lu's reputation as a tea guest is indeed well-deserved!"
Lu Chake said with a smile: "Although I don't usually drink white tea, after all, it occupies a place among the six major tea types! It is also appropriate to collect some! Why do you ask this?"
Liu Fusheng said: "I want to taste aged white tea that is more than ten years old. I wonder if Mr. Lu can part with it?"
When Lu Tea Guest heard this, he smiled lightly.
Shi Chunqiu also smiled and said: "Director Liu, have you forgotten that I asked you just now what kind of tea you want to drink! My boss is the most hospitable. As long as he likes it, he can invite friends here for tea, let alone just white tea. , even if it’s the Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain, the thousand-year-old Dancong in Phoenix Mountain, or the eighteen imperial trees in Shifeng Mountain, that’s not a problem!”
Lu Tea Guest also nodded and said: "Xiao Shi, since Xiao Liu wants to drink white tea, go and look for it in the corner of the warehouse to see if there is one that is about ten years old, and bring it to drink!"
Shi Chunqiu nodded immediately, stood up and walked into the small warehouse where the tea was stored.
Just as he said, the teas collected by Lu Tea Guests are very rich in types. There are all kinds of famous teas from all over the country and even abroad. Each type of tea is carefully marked with the year and place of picking. .
White tea is currently the cheapest among the six major tea series, so it is naturally placed in an inconspicuous corner.
A moment later, Shi Chunqiu left and returned, carrying a small tea box and a tea cake with old packaging in his hands.
A lot of dust had fallen on these two things, and when Shi Chunqiu was handling them, it was inevitable that some would be stained on his body.
After sitting down again, Shi Chunqiu said with a smile: "White tea is not easy to find. Fortunately, I found these two pieces. The contents of this box should be Baihao Silver Needles, and the year is exactly ten years! And this cake, longevity eyebrows, is even more It’s been more than ten years!”
Liu Fusheng took the cake and looked at it. The year on it was indeed more than ten years ago!
The packaging of this tea cake is very simple, but fortunately, Lu Tea Customer is good at storing tea. All the tea that comes into his hands, no matter good or bad, is wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent it from excessive contact with the outside air.
Liu Fusheng took the tea cake and said: "Actually, I have heard something. So far, the main sales market of white tea is still overseas in Southeast Asia. The climate there is hot and humid. White tea has the effect of dehumidification and clearing away heat and internal heat. It is deeply loved by those people. The natives here love it!”
"Maybe it's because the economy there is relatively backward. There is no room for the price of white tea to rise. They are sold overseas in tons! In the past, some tea merchants also had the idea of selling white tea into pressed cakes, but The results are not very good... Leader Lu can produce white tea tea cakes that have been produced for more than ten years, he is really a tea lover!"
Lu Tea Guest nodded and said: "You can say this, it seems that you are also a tea lover. You were really humble before. You know even white tea so well, how can you say that you don't understand tea?"
Liu Fusheng smiled and said: "I don't understand why we need to distinguish high and low tea leaves, but I still know something about other aspects!"
Don’t know how to distinguish between high and low tea?This sentence is a bit interesting!
Lu Chake narrowed his eyes slightly, and Shi Chunqiu also frowned!
Obviously, Liu Fusheng has begun to express his own attitude!
The tea he was talking about was of course not real tea, but the way Shi Chunqiu used tea leaves just now to divide people in the officialdom into roughly six categories!
Shi Chunqiu believes that white tea, which can be brewed and drank without any processing and can be directly picked and sun-dried, is the most humble, or in other words, the most popular and least popular among official circles!
Now Liu Fusheng not only chose white tea, but also said this. Is he talking about the idea that everyone is equal in the officialdom?
After a moment of silence, Shi Chunqiu said with a smile: "Director Liu is a bit idealistic! Of course, tea has high and low status. For example, the eighteen tea trees in front of the imperial court are the best in Longjing. How can other teas in the mountains and wilds compare with it?" "
Liu Fusheng nodded and said: "If you look at the current market value, you can indeed say that! However, I don't know if Secretary Shi has made a detailed evaluation. Under the same grade standards, the Imperial Eighteenth Class and other schools near Shifeng Mountain Longjing, what’s the difference in taste?”
Shi Chunqiu said matter-of-factly: "Of course I have tasted...the Longjing tea picked and roasted from the eighteen imperial trees. It is not only extremely fresh, but also has a long history and accumulation! There is no comparison with other Longjing teas!"
Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "Anyone who knows that the tea he drinks comes after the Eighteen Imperial Lessons will probably have this idea! I just don't know how much of these historical accumulations come from the tea itself, and how much of it comes from the tea itself. Is it the gravitational factor?"
Shi Chunqiu frowned and was about to organize his words to say that psychological factors are also an important part of tea tasting.
Liu Fusheng already said to himself: "The age of the trees and special soil and water conditions make the tea leaves of some tea trees taste better than others, but the difference will not be too big unless they have been immersed in this method for many years." , or senior tea drinkers who drink tea all day long, it is difficult for ordinary people to taste it! For most people, the real difference between two kinds of tea is what the outside world gives them, not their own Taste, right?”
His words made both Shi Chunqiu and Lu Chake slightly startled.
They are all people who really understand tea and can taste tea. Naturally, they know that what Liu Fusheng said is very reasonable. If they refute it forcefully, it would be a bit ridiculous.
Lu Chake and Shi Chunqiu were both waiting for Liu Fusheng's reaction.
But neither of them expected that Liu Fusheng did not explain anything, nor did he refute or change his words. He just smiled slightly, turned his head and looked at the glass door at the back of the tea room and said: "Mr. Lu is called a tea guest, so he must be someone in the family."
