Chaoshan delicacies - start the tea stove and let the tea drip!

When talking about Chaoshan, everyone’s first reaction is the dazzling array of distinctive delicacies, such as the traditional rice cakes I introduced before, and the beef hotpot that tourists are obsessed with and outsiders applaud~~In fact, There is also a big label - Chaoshan Gongfu Tea!

Chaoshan Gongfu Tea? Do you have to do a lot of work just to drink tea? ! NO NO NO~~~

The so-called "Kung Fu" is not the name of tea, nor does it refer to "Kung Fu", but refers to a unique tea ceremony: tea preparation, tea tasting, tea utensils, tea leaves, brewing, etc. We also need to pay attention to a series of steps such as the method and tea tasting~~ What we taste is not only the tea, but also the warm human feelings behind the tea.

"Drip tea" (drinking Gongfu tea) is very common for us Chaoshan people. Making tea after meals, making tea when guests visit, and making tea at gatherings with friends are all ours. Life~~

What a pity, now milk tea shops are everywhere, and young people also love to visit these online celebrity shops, but the bustling teahouses and teahouses in the past are becoming more and more inferior! As a Chaoshan person and a tea drinker, I am sad!

Today, I would like to introduce a good place to drink Gongfu tea. I hope more young people will like this casual and elegant lifestyle! Small bubble tea experience center, here we come!

The small teahouse is hard to find. It is quietly hidden in an office building. However, because of this, it creates a quiet and non-noisy environment. It is very suitable for friends to gather and enjoy tea!

There are not many tables and chairs in the lobby, and there is only one private room. If you want to go, you must book it in advance, otherwise it will be easy to run out!

But it doesn’t matter if you run out, you can still go and check out the tea there! The store carefully sorts different teas into different categories, setting up rock tea area, black tea area, Pu'er area, green tea area, etc. There are quite a lot of tea varieties there~~~

According to the store, the teahouse It is considered a trial operation for the time being. I guess it will only start in September this year. I didn’t expect that I would find it like this!

Because I prefer black tea, I decided to choose the Gold Award Qihong after smelling several black teas. A girl with a sweet smile in the store quickly equipped us with tea sets and water, and the tea stove started. Start dripping tea!

For each table of customers, the store uses a small jar to pack the tea leaves selected by the customer. A small jar is the amount of tea~~

This Gold Medal Qi Hong smells a bit Floral scent, natural fresh tea scent is soothing! When brewing, do not use freshly boiled water. The best water temperature is 80~90℃. Otherwise, the fragrance in the tea will be quickly washed away by the boiling water, so that the taste will become lighter when you actually drink it. After the water is boiled, Wait for a while, let it cool down before brewing~~

Attention! Remember to take the kettle off the tea stove. There is still residual heat after the tea stove is turned off. If you don't take it off, it will affect the heat dissipation!

Pour the water into the tea bowl, cover it with the tea lid, wait for half a minute for the first time before pouring it out (I don’t like it too strong, otherwise it will look like drinking hot water...) ~~ As it brews As the number of times of brewing increases, the time can be extended appropriately~~

After brewing, the black tea shows a warm color, and there are no fine tea residues at the bottom of the cup. It can be seen that the tea leaves are relatively complete~~ When entering the mouth, The fragrance of tea floats, gently and softly penetrates into your nose, and the taste is mellow, not astringent, smooth and gentle, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth afterwards, with endless aftertaste~~ The fragrance is sweet and delicious, the fragrance of tea is faint, and comfortable! !

In fact, the refreshments are not homemade in the store, but are purchased and arranged according to the number of customers. However, the beauty of the presentation is that it is small and exquisite, with moderate portions and a lot of taste. That day, my sister Erha and I I ate five or six kinds of refreshments such as mochi, wind-blown cakes, and hawthorn cakes. I was so satisfied!

You must know that one of the essence of Chaoshan Gongfu tea is the accompanying decoration of tea! Tea pairings are actually some snacks or candies that go with tea. Drinking too much tea can easily lead to excessive hunger and hurt the stomach~~ Especially when drinking tea, chatting and gossiping, tea pairings are the finishing touch!

During the National Day, the store held activities, and refreshments were given away for free. The final check was only more than 60 yuan, which is not bad~~

The fragrance of tea is long, the nostalgia is deep, and sometimes Chaoshan people In addition to enjoying the sweet fragrance brought by tea, drinking tea is more about the long and delicate human bonds, the wanderers' thoughts about their hometown day and night, and the endless humanistic elegance behind drinking tea.

So, young people, don’t make milk tea, go make more tea~~

There are delicious ones
