Chapter 86
Bai Gaorui did not dare to be careless, and he was also afraid of losing his car.
The tea set that Bai Yujiao helped to buy was quite complete, and it would not allow him to play the tea set that he had not been able to match.
He Linlin, Zhou Chen, Chen Wenxiu and others were chatting and playing with their mobile phones, but now they were watching the fun from afar, but they didn't get too close, and they were afraid of disturbing them making tea.
When Bai Gaorui was just enjoying tea, he carefully observed the tenderness and uniformity of the tea leaves, which determined what temperature of water is used and what kind of tea pouring method to brew.
After the water boils, pour boiling water into a delicate and beautiful glass cup specially used for brewing green tea, and use a thermos cup, also called a thermos, which is conducive to brewing green tea. Also, wash and warm other glass cups prepared for tea and blue and white porcelain tea cups with boiling water.
The tea leaves are already prepared in the tea appreciation tray. Because the quantity is not large and it is particularly precious, Bai Gaorui dared not put too much for the first time. He first took about three to four grams of green tea and threw it into a warm glass cup.
As soon as I put it down, the aroma of tea became more and more intense.
This is because the glass cup is hot and has a certain amount of water and moisture at this time.
Bai Gaorui shook the glass cup gently and evenly again, calling it Shaking Incense.
After shaking the fragrance, an orchid-like fragrance comes to your nose.
Then there is moistening tea. He uses the covering method to moisten tea. First, slowly inject a little boiling water and pour it directly on the tea leaves to warm the tea leaves and let the tea leaves slowly unfold. Then continue to gently shake the glass cup to make the tea moistening process more complete.
Everyone could see the transparent glass cup and the development of the tea, especially Bai Yujiao and Xia Yu who were relatively close to each other, smiling tacitly, and both were learning while watching!
After moistening the tea, the aroma in the room became more and more intense.
After Bai Gaorui moisten the tea, brew it. After putting the glass cup on the sea of tea, brew it in a rotary and high-pressure way.
"This is the phoenix nodding three times using ancient methods." This is also particularly particular. Bai Gaorui also explained to everyone, mainly to Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao that Bai Yujiao learned to make tea with Bai Gaorui.
Then the boiling water flushed into the glass cup only accounts for about 70% of the total capacity, which means "seven-point tea, three-point emotion".
After three "high rushes", the water flow rotates, rolls, and dances with the tea leaves.
In this way, the upper and lower tea soups in the glass cup can be evenly concentrated.
On the other hand, it also expresses etiquette and welcomes guests to their arrival.
Bai Gaorui also said, "In the brewing process, the kettle is hung high, making the water flow impactful and has a curved beauty."
"Let it sit for about three minutes to allow the tea to open, stretch and release it better."
After careful observation, the leaves are tender green and the color of the tea is clearly visible to the naked eye and becomes tender yellow and bright.
He Linlin, who had been watching and waiting for tea, also asked curiously, "Grandpa, I heard that brewing green tea requires water at about 90 degrees Celsius. It seems that it is rarely brewed with boiling water. It is said that it is because it is because it is afraid of destroying the ingredients. The brewed tea soup will be turbid and tastes bitter."
Bai Gaorui smiled and explained, "In fact, the high temperature of green tea is passivated when it is finished. The temperature has long exceeded 100 degrees Celsius. There is basically no saying that boiling water will burn the tea leaves, burn it, and affect the taste."
"The green tea made from boiling water will cause yellow and turbid tea soup and the bitter taste is actually because the tea leaves are not of good quality. Good tea is not afraid of scalding in boiling water."
"Of course, it is also OK to make tea at 90 degrees Celsius. The tea soup is fresher and refreshing because the fragrance is lighter. If you use boiling water, the tea soup will be more mellow and richer."
"Anyway, it's absolutely right to use boiling water to check whether the tea is good."
He Linlin and others expressed their gains of knowledge. After explaining these, the green tea was brewed.
Bai Gaorui is also preparing to divide tea to prevent the tea from being soaked in water for too long and losing its due flavor.
This tea set uses a bamboo spoon, which divides the tea into a glass tea cup specially prepared for green tea. Taste it first, and there are not many in each cup.
Then there is tea, also called tea serving.
The tea ceremony is "hand-looking respectful" and let the tea drinker gather together with the tea utensils, and the palms face inward to reflect the humility and restraint of the tea person.
Not only He Linlin and Chen Wenxiu have gained knowledge, but Xia Yu has also benefited a lot.
First, I invited my oldest grandmother to have a tea, then grandma, Zhou Chen's mother, Bai Gaorui himself, Xia Yu's parents, and Bai Yujiao's parents.
There are so many people in the family that I can’t take care of. Others, including uncles and aunts, not to mention young people, can only wait for the second and third soaks.
Bai Gaorui also said, "You must not waste your head soaking for such good tea. The head soaking will be very fresh, and it would be a pity to pour it out."
He also made the best tea tasting demonstration, smelling fragrance, watching colors, and sipping.
First take a small sip to let the tea flow in your mouth and make it fully contact with your taste buds. Then swallow it slowly, and use the tip of your tongue to press against the root of your teeth and inhale to reminisce the sweetness of the tea.
After tasting it, Bai Gaorui commented, "Sweet and fresh, with no bitter taste at all. The orchid fragrance is particularly fragrant and makes people feel aftertaste."
Grandma, grandma, Zhou Chen's mother Luo Minyi also gave positive comments after tasting tea.
Grandma said yes, "This is the best green tea I have ever drunk in so many years."
Luo Minyi also said, "The smell of mouth and mouth is extremely delicious."
After tasting Bai Hanhai and Zhou Xiuying, they both nodded in agreement, "I have never drunk such sweet green tea."
Grandma, Xia Mingguang and his wife have drunk less good tea, but they also said that they are completely different from the tea they drank in the past. "For the first time, I learned that tea can be so delicious."
Young people, including Bai Yujiao, were itchy when they heard it. Bai Gaorui asked her to continue making tea and just use the way she just did.
He did not divide all the tea, but left about one-fifth of the root of water. He also explained to everyone that this can balance the taste of head soaking, second soaking, or even three soaking and four soaking.
He also wants to test whether this green tea is resistant to brewing.
The most savory tea is of course the highest quality tea.
Bai Yujiao is good at making tea, so she quickly uses boiling water and continues to use the "phoenix nodding three times" method to make the second soak.
Bai Gaorui also shared his tips on making green tea with everyone. Others, including Zhou Chen and others, have never studied it so deeply when brewing green tea.
Xia Yu had drunk it for a while and didn't join in the fun. Bai Yujiao was not polite. The second green tea made was her turn to taste it.
The feeling of tasting tea in person and watching others say it was completely different. Bai Yujiao savored the tea carefully and smiled with satisfaction, "It's much better than I expected. Even the green tea I brewed in second place feels very strong and the fragrance is rich enough."
In order to accurately identify this green tea, Bai Gaorui has to drink it by first soaking, second soaking, third soaking, and four soaking.
