Chapter 36 Rare white tea
After being steamed and finished, put it on the prepared grate to dry, and wait for the next process of kneading. In fact, kneading is divided into hot kneading and cold kneading. Cold kneading is generally suitable for young leaves, while hot kneading is suitable for old leaves. leaf.

After cooling down, Qiangwei began to knead.

The function of rolling is plasticity, reducing the volume, making it easy to carry and brew. It can also squeeze out the juice to attach to the surface of the leaves to increase the taste of the tea.

Due to Qiangwei's age, her palms are also small, so it is inevitable that she will not be able to move her hands. After a while, a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she couldn't stop. This is her first fortune. Something could go wrong.

Seeing Qiangwei working so hard, Mrs. Li took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him distressedly, and blamed them all for not being able to do it, so there was no way to replace it, or else she had the heart to let a child take on such a heavy job.

Although kneading requires skill, but it is really physical work. Qiangwei felt her wrist was sore and her arm was almost useless. Fortunately, it was finished soon, and the next step was to dry it.

In the drying process, the rose chooses to be dried. What needs to be done is to evaporate the water and arrange the shape, so that the tea aroma can be fully exerted. As long as the heat and temperature are controlled, it will be fine.

Fortunately, Li's usually saves a lot of bamboo charcoal, which is best used to dry tea leaves. It is estimated that there will be unexpected aromas, which can only be concluded after tasting.

After going through a series of processes, Qiangwei's first batch of green tea finally came out, about a catty in size. Looking at the color and texture, she knew she had succeeded. Seeing the fruits of her labor, Qiangwei's eyes turned red with excitement, and she worked hard. It was finally not in vain.

"Good boy, I've worked hard on you, let your father and the others do the rest?" Seeing Qiangwei crying, Mrs. Li thought that the baby was too tired, so she couldn't help coming over to hug her, persuading her with distress .

"No, I'll come. Daddy and brothers have never done it before." Qiangwei was stunned for a moment, knowing that her mother loves her very much and her heart is very warm, but she refused without even thinking about it.

You can't make good tea just by looking at it, there are techniques, self-awareness and, of course, talent.

Because she liked to drink tea in her previous life, she used to visit tea factories and visit tea farmers' homes. She put in a lot of effort to learn how to make tea.

She didn't know how much tea was wasted, and of course it was all low-level tea.This first pot was also used by her to practice her hands, first to feel the texture, and to use the green tea she picked.

Then comes the main event - white tea.

Although Qiangwei was not sure, she intuitively told her that her white tea should be unprecedented.

White tea trees are rare, the terrain is harsh, and the temperature is quite harsh. The biggest feature is that this kind of tea can only be picked for one month.

Therefore, under these conditions, there are very few white teas that can exist in the world, and they are all treasures in the world.

It is already a miracle to find a white tea tree in the back mountain. Qiangwei observed the terrain around the back mountain. The whole mountain stream looks like a big dustpan, and the temperature is relatively low and the humidity is high. Basically, it is below ten degrees in winter. This is also Qiangwei's cognition after living for seven or eight years.

The special terrain and special environment have created the birth of the white tea tree. We can only lament the grace of God, which is far beyond the reach of manpower.

Therefore, Qiangwei has to be more careful with it. The craftsmanship of white tea is the same as that of green tea, but the technique is more demanding, the temperature control is strictly prohibited, and even the amount of green tea is strictly required, so this also consumes Qiangwei's strong mental power and energy. physical strength.
