Salty tea, also called tea, in Shanwei area, almost every family has a set of tea tools (tooth bowl, ring wood), some salty tea materials (green tea, salt, sesame seeds, peanuts, fried rice, etc.). Whenever relatives and friends come to visit, the hospitable Shanwei people will immediately make tea to entertain the guests, making them feel more friendly. In fact, there is no guest coming, Shanwei people are also used to make their own tea food, or call on the neighbors, or their own family, a bowl of tea as usual eat all. I remember before, living in my hometown, in the narrow alleys, every day you can always hear the little children that as heavenly shouts: mother-in-law came to my home to eat salty tea, aunty came to my home to eat salty tea ......
The simplest salty tea, the production process is very simple, first of all, the green tea leaves into the bowl ring bowl (a kind of special inner wall of the ceramic mantle with a tooth pattern), The tea leaves into the ring fine, and then put raw sesame into the bowl ring, ring good, and then add a little salt, and then just boiled water into the ready. It is said that the freshly boiled water is the only way to make the salty tea "blended with water and milk". Will ring a good salty tea in the bowl, will be cooked peanuts, sesame, fried rice and other materials into the salty tea, so a bowl of sweet and mellow taste of salty tea has been completed. Eating this bowl of salty tea with the fragrance of tea, the crunchiness of fried rice, the crispness of peanuts, and the fragrance of sesame seeds, the satisfaction in your heart and the simple happiness can only be truly experienced by those who have eaten it.
In addition to the simplest way of making Shanwei tea (tea and sesame), people often add other auxiliary ingredients according to the different seasons or personal favorites. For example: or mugwort leaves, or south lemon, or mint, or fishy grass, or honeysuckle ...... summer will also ring Huangpi jujube tea. Although the variety, but also proved that the people of Shanwei clever wisdom, dare to continue to innovate.
