Chatting with a tea friend from out of town.

Tea friends asked, if ordinary tea drinkers drink tea at home, do they need to leave resurrecting soup ?

Well, how should I put it? If you want to keep it, you can keep it. If you don't want to keep it, just drink it. It mainly depends on your personal habits.

After a while, the tea friend replied that she felt that Yancha's Resurrection Soup was in an awkward situation.

Because the tea drinking atmosphere in their place is not as strong as in Fujian, she usually makes tea when she is free at the shop.

At the beginning, when she was brewing rock teas such as narcissus and cinnamon , she would save the first tea as usual and drink it at the end. In addition, she would prepare a reasonable cup of soup.

Then I discovered that until the end of the tea brewing, almost no one touched the resurrecting soup on the table.

Because after drinking six or seven cups of tea soup in a row, people are tired/full/not very thirsty, and their desire to drink tea is not as strong as at the beginning.

In addition, at the end, the resurrecting soup on the table had completely cooled down, and it felt less comfortable than drinking it while it was still hot.

Finally, the culture of drinking tea varies from place to place. According to their local saying, the first cup of tea can only be regarded as washing water, and it is impolite to pour it to the guests.

The combination of various factors makes the talk of rock tea's rejuvenation soup very embarrassing.

I would like to ask, when drinking rock tea, is there any reason why you must keep the Huihun Tang?

《2》

Liu Huanhun Tang is a unique way of drinking tea in the rock tea circle.

When making tea, after the first tea soup is brewed, do not rush to divide the tea, but leave it specially. Wait until the tail water is drunk and the tea flavor is completely diluted. When the tea is ready to be finished, divide the tea into drinks.

This way of drinking is drinking the resurrecting soup.

Of course, I have been in the rock tea circle in recent years and have seen many upgraded versions of and .

For example, during the first, second, third and fourth brewing of tea, after brewing the tea soup, first give a small cup to each person present, and finally collect the remaining tea at the bottom of the fair cup. , combined into a cup of comprehensive version of Resurrection Soup.

Another example is when testing tea. When the first brew is brewed, people can no longer hold back their excitement. They are ready to take a quick look. After the tea is brewed, they drink it first, leaving only a small cup of tea as the rejuvenation soup.

No matter how you look at it, the essence of Resurrection Soup has not changed.

The starting point of Liuhuhun Soup is very similar, in order to save the good stuff until the end.

Don’t drink all the tea soup brewed by

in a hurry, save some for last.

When a rock tea has been brewed for eight or nine times, most of the tea flavor has been released, and the remaining tail water taste will decrease.

When you drink the tail water that has been diluted and then drink the Huanhun Tang, which has a relatively mellow tea flavor at the beginning, the flavor level of the whole tea will be more obvious.

has a beginning and a tail, one after the other, the contrast is sharp.

This unique way of drinking is called Liuhuihun Soup.

In the opening chapter of "3"

, what the out-of-town tea drinker said is not wrong either.

These days, rock tea’s Resurrection Soup is more or less awkward on the tea table.

Many tea drinkers are already used to drinking tea warm. At the end of the tea drinking, most of the rejuvenating soup placed aside has already cooled down, and many tea drinkers cannot bring up the interest in drinking tea.

If you really don’t want to drink cool tea, you don’t have to force it.

After all, making tea is not absolutely unique. I have the final say on my territory, and I have the final say on my tea. Whether or not to keep the Huanhun soup when making rock tea depends on personal habits.

If you are not used to drinking the cold Resurrection Soup, you can either drink it while it is hot after the first brew of the tea soup; or prepare a thermos coaster to keep the tea soup warm and keep the temperature of the tea at a palatable state.

Judging from the tea drinking experience of Mahua, the flavor experience is different when drinking rock tea at different temperatures.

Make tea with boiling water and the soup will come out quickly. After brewing the tea soup in just a few seconds, the temperature of the hot tea will still be very high.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I can't drink scalding hot tea, otherwise I'll burn my skin off.

After pouring out the tea soup, smell the aroma while it is still hot, and feel the complete aroma that floats out under the fumigation of hot air.

After smelling the aroma, divide the tea. When you pick up the tea cup, take a small sip first.

When he was about to sip the tea, he brought the tea cup close to his nose and could smell the aroma wafting from the soup noodles.

After sipping the tea together with the fragrance of the water, do not rush to swallow the soup first, mobilize the taste buds in the mouth, and feel the thickness, smoothness, tea flavor level, water fragrance, etc. of the tea soup.

Taste carefully and drink tea while it's hot. Although if you drink the rock tea while it is hot after brewing it, the tea soup will taste more fragrant. But if you wait until the tea soup cools down before drinking it, you can also get surprises.

Although during the storage process, the fragrant falling water fragrance in the rock tea soup will more or less drift away and cause loss.

But in exchange, it does have a sweeter, thicker and smoother soup texture.

One time while drinking tea, an academic friend talked about this principle and explained why the tea soup feels smoother after being cooled down.

The reason behind this is most likely because under high temperature conditions, the free tea flavor substances in the tea soup have not been completely complexed. As the temperature drops, complexes will continue to form in the tea soup, making the overall tea soup thicker and more pulpy.

is like fish soup that has been boiled until it turns white. It will freeze after cooling.

Some black teas appear "turbid after cold". It is also because of this that during the natural cooling process of the tea soup, tea polyphenols and their oxides (thearubigins, theaflavins), etc., will form bonds with specific substances in the tea soup. The complex is formed.

Looking at the scenery, it looks like a ridge on the side and peaks on the side, with different heights near and far.

When drinking rock tea, drink it while it's hot, and then drink it after it cools down. The taste of the tea you drink at different temperatures is also different.

Talking about the Huanhun Tang in the rock tea circle, in addition to comparing the changes in the tea soup level from one brew to the next, you can also feel the flavor of the tea soup after it has cooled down.

Zhengyan tea is rich in quality, and a considerable amount of flavor is extracted from the first tea soup. Not only is the soup feel far more mellow than the tail water, but even at the end, when the high-boiling tea aroma dissipates, there is still a faint fresh cold aroma left.

is coming slowly like the shadow of a star in the sky!

Drinking rock tea, drinking it while it is hot and drinking it when it is cooled are two different feelings.

But even this solves the problem of the tea soup temperature getting colder. Whether or not to leave the resurrecting soup on the tea table is an embarrassing situation. Moreover, this is still a common topic - washes tea .

Many tea drinkers will habitually feel that when making tea, especially Kung Fu tea , the first tea soup is "washing water". In theory, it should be thrown away and not drunk. It is specially used to scald tea cups.

It is very confusing whether or not to wash the tea when drinking rock tea.

According to Mahua, good rock tea does not need to be washed, and it is best not to wash it.

Because the rock tea is made from a genuine mountain and made with good craftsmanship, there are many things to see in the first tea soup.

Even if you don’t keep the rejuvenating soup and choose to drink it while it’s hot, you can still feel the extra sweet, full and mellow tea flavor.

Because before the first brewing of tea, the dry tea strips of rock tea are like a fully charged battery. There is endless energy in the whole body, and the energy has not been consumed at all.

When dry tea meets water, it explodes.

Even if the steeping time is only a few seconds, a lot of tea flavor can be extracted. It would be a waste to pour it away and not drink it.

Taking a step back, the greatest practical effect of tea washing itself is psychological comfort.

If a particular tea is particularly dirty, there is a serious quality defect. Its tea flavor is destined to be hard to get rid of, even if you wash the tea, it is useless!

Drinking the Resurrection Soup is a very ritualistic thing.

Whether it is to keep the first flush completely, or just keep a small cup. Or, collect the remaining tea soup after the first three or four shots.

The method of making the rejuvenating soup is to save the tea soup with better flavor in the front until the end.

In this way, even the taste of tea will be completely diluted.You can also return to the original intention of drinking tea through this cup of rejuvenating soup with rich tea flavor.

When using the tureen to brew rock tea, the release process of the tea flavor is very regular, showing a parabola shape.

first goes from shallow to deep, and then slowly reaches the top. Then, slowly, slowly, slowly lower it until the tea flavor is completely consumed.

Drinking tea to the end is equivalent to experiencing thousands of flowers and returning to the starting point. Feel the rejuvenation soup that is still full of tea flavor even after it has cooled down.

After drinking the tail water, compare the tea flavor level of the first water. With comparison and reference, you can taste the subtle differences in tea flavor!
