Zhengshan Xiaozhong has "declined"? Why are more and more tea people not like to drink Zhengshan Xiaozhong?
Speaking of tea, China has the most say. There are many varieties of tea, which appear early, and the tea culture is prosperous. The birthplace of many tea leaves in the world is China. Including the most popular black tea now, the birthplace is Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, and Zhengshan Xiaozhong is the originator of black tea in the world.
Zhengshan Xiaosheng was born in the late Ming Dynasty . It was an accidental invention. It was in the tea season at that time. Tea farmers were making tea. A group of soldiers passed by Wuyi Mountain, which scared the tea farmers and hid in the mountains to avoid danger. The picked tea leaves were too late to stir-fry, and were piled up as mats by the soldiers, and naturally fermented. When the troops drove away, the tea farmers went down the mountain, and the tea leaves had already fermented. After the green tea stir-frying period, they could only barely dry and recover some losses. Unexpectedly, they became a hit and became a black tea that everyone liked in the world.
In the middle and late Qing dynasty , Zhengshan Xiaozhong was stolen to India by Robert Jones, thus starting his journey to black tea in India. The center of black tea in the world has also moved from China to India. Back then, Robert stole more than 20,000 seedlings, more than 10,000 seeds, and 8 professional tea workers from Fujian. The excellent local climate and soil also made Indian black tea rise rapidly.
However, although Zhengshan Xiaozhong is the founder of black tea, it has begun to decline in recent years, and more and more tea people do not like to drink Zhengshan Xiaozhong. There are 4 reasons.
was damaged by "Nanping Granddaughter"
There was a time when the "Nanping Granddaughter" on social software was particularly rampant. First, add you as a friend as a stranger, start chatting with words like adding the wrong person, and talk to enhance your feelings. Finally, it leads to " My grandfather is making tea, will you help me ", and sell low-end and low-quality tea at a high price. Over time, it has made Zhengshan Xiaozhong's reputation bad.
In fact, it is not just Zhengshan Xiaozhong who suffered, but even Wuyi Rock Tea and Anxi Tieguanyin were also affected. When it comes to Fujian tea, people are still scared. Now when you see strangers in Fujian add friends, the first thing you say is, “Does your grandfather make tea?”. In fact, behind these "Nanping granddaughters" are all pure frauds.
is affected by Jinjunmei
Jinjunmei is a branch of Zhengshan small seeds and a high-end Zhengshan small seeds. The difference between the two is leaf tea and the other is bud tea. Although Jin Junmei was successfully developed and launched in 2005, and it has been less than 20 years since then, it has a very strong influence. Jin Junmei uses buds to make tea, which is good for dry tea, fragrant tea, and tea soup. It has suddenly surpassed Zhengshan Xiaozhong black tea. When talking about Fujian black tea, the first thing that comes to mind is Jin Junmei.
"Success is Jin Junmei, failure is Jin Junmei." Because Jin Junmei uses fresh buds to make tea green, it is difficult to pick and cost high. A good pound of Jin Junmei costs ten thousand yuan. It is too far from the lives of ordinary people. Jin Junmei, a big tea company, is sold by gram. Because Jin Junmei's price is expensive, Zhengshan Xiaozhong was also involved and thought it was very expensive, so gradually I didn't dare to buy it.
The influence of traditional smoked flavor
Zhengshan Xiaozhong's traditional process is smoked with Masset Pine . The tea has a unique "pine smoke fragrance", which is a bit similar to the preparation method of bacon . However, tea leaves vary from person to person. "Pine Smoke Flavor" is not something that all tea people like, and they invisibly screened out some people. In addition, some non-producing tea farmers use other low-end tea green and smoked them with other mixed woods, leaving a pungent smell in the tea leaves and reducing the reputation of Zhengshan Xiaozhong.
Rise of the logistics industry
The rise of logistics and e-commerce can give Zhengshan Xiaozhong more opportunities, but it also gives more opportunities for other black tea to penetrate.China itself is the tea capital, and there are many varieties of black tea production areas. Under the double suppression of fraud and Jin Junmei, at worst, I will not drink Zhengshan Xiaozhong. I can choose other black teas. Qimen black tea , Yinghong, Yunnan red , and Sichuan red are all very good and can be replaced.
In fact, Zhengshan Xiaozhong is a good tea. Now the capital is hyping rock tea and Pu'er tea . Zhengshan Xiaozhong has a high cost-effectiveness and is suitable as a ration tea. The tea leaves of Xiaozeng Dried Tea are tight in shape and are dark brown in color, but are oily and bright in color after brewing. The tea soup tastes mainly rosin and longan flavor. If there is a smoky rosin flavor, the smokeless small group is longan flavor.
black tea brewing is not suitable for using a teapot. If the soup is released from the teapot, it will affect the taste of the teapot. If the theophylline dissolves too much, the tea soup will become sour and astringent. It is best to use tea sets that can quickly separate tea soup, such as cover bowl or ear lifting pot, which are very good choices. It is recommended to use glass tea set when you drink black tea, you can see the crystal clear and bright tea soup.
The best brewing amount of Zhengshan Xiaozhong is 5 grams of tea. If there is too much tea, there will be no taste. If there is less tea, there will be no taste. If there is about 5 grams, the tea will float up and down slightly according to your taste, the tea packaged in small bubbles is usually 5 grams.
