Problem description:
How to distinguish new tea from old tea?
Analysis:
Biluochun belongs to green tea, which is also called "Biluochun in Dongting" because it is produced in Dongting mountain area of Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province.
Dongting Mountain is divided into east and west parts, and Dongting Dongshan is a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. Dongting Xishan is an island on Taihu Lake. Fruit and tea are grown in the mountains of the East and West Dongting. Here, Taihu Lake is clear and foggy. Tea trees and fruit trees such as Paiba, Citrus and Myrica rubra are interlaced, with branches and leaves connected and roots and veins connected; The sparse sunshine on the branches and leaves of fruit trees soaked the fragrance of flowers and fruits. Really: "Into the mountains, flying everywhere, Biluochunxiang, drunk."
Biluochun, formerly known as "scary fragrance", has been a treasure in tea since ancient times, and it is said that it has a history of 1300 years. According to "The Continuation of Liunan" written by Wang Yingkui in Qing Dynasty, there are several kinds of wild teas produced in the stone wall of Biluofeng, Dongshan, Dongting, and the local people use bamboo baskets to pick and drink them every year. Once, because there were many leaves, it was difficult to store them in the basket, and because the tea was scalded in your arms, a strange smell suddenly appeared. The tea pickers exclaimed, "Surprised and fragrant." In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1699), Emperor Kangxi visited Taihu Lake in the south, and the governor gave it tea. Emperor Kangxi thought the name was too vulgar and renamed it "Biluochun".
Biluochun is green and shaped like a spiral, which is produced in early spring. The shape of the rope is slender, with hair all over and white hair hidden; After making tea, the color is light green and bright, and the taste is rich, and there is a sweet feeling after drinking. People praised this kind of tea: "copper wire strips, spiral, long hair all over, fragrant flowers and fruits, fresh and refreshing."
Biluochun tea, because of its delicious taste, is also different from other famous teas in brewing and tasting. Tea is usually served first. After washing. Biluochun cannot be brewed with water. Can't cover tightly, first pour boiling water into the cup, and then add tea; In just three or four minutes, the buds and leaves spread out one after another, with rich tea color and rich aroma, which is mouth-watering.
