Son of Heaven

Chapter 48: Three mistakes "Which three mistakes?" Uncle Yu asked with a frown, but his anger at the beginning has gradually turned into curiosity, and he really wants to know what this brave young man will say next. "The first mistake is the amount of tea used. Oriental beauty tea is a semi-fermented tea made from underdeveloped buds and leaves. It has the characteristics of both black tea and green tea. It has excellent aroma and taste, so the amount of tea should be used less. Too much, if the amount of tea is too much, it will cause the tea soup to be too thick, and lose its unique sweet, fragrant, elegant and elegant flavor. Every kind of tea has the artistic conception of every kind of tea. Tasting tea is not only about the fragrance , I am more interested in taste. I know the tea by smell. The tea you taste is too strong, and the amount of tea is obviously too much. It is estimated that the amount of leaves is more than half a pot. In this way, it loses the original characteristics of Oriental Beauty Tea. "Liang Chen talked eloquently with his hands behind his back. "Hey, good boy, you can tell how much tea I've used just by smelling my nose? It's really you, go on." Uncle Yu immediately became interested, and opened his old eyes immediately, staring at Liang Chen closely. . "The second mistake is to scald the tea with boiling water. The implication of the oriental beauty is that the buds and leaves are underdeveloped and congenitally deficient due to the juice sucked by the floating dust when it is growing. When brewing with boiling water, you must wait for the water to boil, then open the lid, and wait for a while until the water temperature drops to about 85 degrees before brewing, or you can use the brewing method of the middle shot method, so as not to cause When the tea leaves are scalded, it produces a dull and astringent bitter taste. When I smell the tea, I find that the aroma is slightly more astringent, and the aroma of ripe pears is gone. Hehe, it should be caused by boiling the tea and boiling the tea.” Liang Chen slightly lifted his nose and smelled the tea, and said slowly with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had already immersed himself in the way of tea Zen. "You, you, go on..." Uncle Yu's expression turned surprised, pointing at Liang Chen, he found it difficult to speak. "The third mistake is the tea-tasting utensils." Liang Chen opened his eyes, stared at the purple sand pot that Uncle Yu put on the Eight Immortals table next to him for a while, and then said slowly. "I even used the wrong tea-tasting utensils? Kid, you are wrong this time. To taste tea, it is natural to use a purple sand pot to taste it, and to taste it alone, soak it for a long time, tea grows in a pot, and a pot breeds tea. From now on, instead of adding tea, just pour plain water, and the aroma of tea will infuse your nose." Uncle Yu waved his hand, and became a little indifferent to Liang Chen's statement, shaking his head and talking about the wonderful use of the purple clay pot. "Hehe, it's true that, as you said, purple clay utensils have their own charm and infinite uses. But what I want to say is that tea and pots must match each other and complement each other in order to taste the wonderful taste." Liang Chen smiled slightly. "Then why is my tea and the purple clay pot wrong?" Uncle Yu asked with a frown after holding up his purple clay pot for a long time. "Generally speaking, teas with a high fermented base, or teas made from mature counterpart leaves, such as Tieguanyin and Wuyi rock tea, are suitable for brewing in purple sand pots with low hardness, because they have a high degree of fermentation. The tea with high degree of fermentation, such as green tea, yellow tea, white tea, or tea with young buds and leaves as raw materials The tea made, such as Que Tong and the Oriental Beauty tea you taste, are suitable for brewing in stone pots or porcelain pots with high hardness and height. It is best to use white porcelain cups, which are the best. Only softness and softness can bring out the bright colors of tea soup, and at the same time, it can better show its special artistic conception of elegant and sweet, beautiful woman by the water. But you, use a soft pot for weak tea, no matter how weak it is, it is difficult to taste Here comes the true charm of an oriental beauty." Liang Chen fixed his eyes on the purple clay pot, and said with a faint smile.
