Taiping monkey kui belongs to high-grade green tea.
Taiping Monkey Kui is one of the top ten famous teas in China, with many titles such as China historical famous tea and China traditional famous tea. This tea is produced in huangshan district, Huangshan City, Anhui Province. It is the best kind of pointed tea and enjoys the reputation of "Monkey Kui has two sharp points, which will not spread, become warped and roll".
He was awarded the title of "King of Green Tea" at the International Tea Expo.
The main producing areas of Taiping Monkey Kui are Monkey Pit, Monkey Gang and Yan Jia in Sanmen Village, Xinming Township, huangshan district. Among them, the quality of tea picked by Houkeng Alpine Tea Garden is the best. The picking standard is one bud and three leaves, and it is made by four processes: deactivating enzymes, airing wool, airing feet and redrying.
The finished tea is flat and straight in appearance, covered with white hair, light green in color, green in color when the cup is soaked, fragrant in Gao Shuang, fragrant and fragrant, and mellow and refreshing in taste. There is an artistic conception of "the first bubble is high, the second bubble is strong, the third bubble is fragrant, and the fourth bubble is still there".
Pinghoukui belongs to green tea from the attribute of tea, and it is a sharp tea in green tea. Huangshan persimmon leaves grow tea. The shape of tea is generally two leaves holding a bud, and the orchid fragrance is her characteristic. Monkey rhyme is her artistic conception.
Taiping Monkey Kui was born in Taiping Xin Ming. The core producing area is Houkeng Hougang Yan Jia Village, and Monkey Kui is also the representative of the quality of Taiping Monkey Kui. Moreover, Dahuikeng Village is also the protected origin of Taiping Monkey Kui.
The picking time of Taiping Monkey Kui new tea is generally about one week 10 day after Qingming.
For example, the opening time of Taiping Monkey Kui this year is 13 April, and the first two years were 15 April to 18 April, so Taiping Monkey Kui will not talk about tea until tomorrow.
From a technical point of view, Taiping monkey kui has the saying that handmade tea has machine-made tea. However, the authentic Taiping Hericium erinaceus generally refers to the traditional hand-frying and hand-pinching, and the mechanism Hericium erinaceus in recent two years can no longer be called Taiping Hericium erinaceus.
Although the existence is reasonable, it is quite different from the traditional handmade Hericium erinaceus in terms of taste and quality.
The brewing of Taiping Monkey Kui is similar to ordinary green tea, because the most important thing of green tea is the water temperature, which is generally controlled at 85 to 90 degrees.
Tea sets also use glasses, porcelain cups and purple sand. However, due to the special tea shape of Taiping Hericium erinaceus, I personally suggest that it is better to brew it in a glass.
What's good about Taiping Monkey King?
I said that Taiping Monkey Kui can be regarded as the best green tea, because it has some elegant characteristics. Moreover, due to the differences in origin and tree species, the quality of Pu 'er tea even slightly shows the characteristics of mountain change.
A Hericium erinaceus can range from 300 to 3000 at first glance, so it is a bit important to distinguish Hericium erinaceus. With a little superficial experience, share with you how to judge.
① Manual and mechanical
Dry tea is easy to see the difference between manual and mechanical. Although it doesn't belittle machine-made tea, the better raw materials on the market generally don't make machine-made tea because they can't sell at a price.
Generally, the handmade Hericium erinaceus is relatively thick, with a grid on the surface, and the mechanism is often relatively thin and flat.
② Taste discrimination
(1) is rich and mellow, like wrapping the tongue.
As you must know, mellow is almost the common standard of all teas. On the monkey head, it shows the feeling of being rich in content and wrapped in the tongue. This at least shows that the grade of raw materials is good.
By the way, drinking some old varieties of monkey head is not necessarily expensive, but the rich taste and fresh alcohol are really enjoyable on the tip of the tongue.
(2) The throat is sweet and sticky
There is the word "monkey rhyme" on the national standard of monkey kui, so we won't discuss it. We might as well roughly understand it as origin plus throat rhyme. This is particularly obvious in rock tea, Pu 'er and even good people in Zhengshan. The stimulation of the throat is happy. The tea soup is slowly swallowed, and the throat is sweet and comfortable, with sticky sweetness.
③ About the fragrance of orchids
The orchid fragrance of Hericium erinaceus is often a high-grade performance. But you shouldn't be completely superstitious.
Because of the variety, the new variety is actually easier to achieve spearmint, or has spearmint, but it is often not so rich and rich in taste.
The old variety Lanhuaxiang is often hard to find. According to local tea collectors, even the same tea may be different this year and next year.
