Scented tea making technique (Zhang Yiyuan's jasmine tea making technique)
Scented tea is made by placing green tea and jasmine flowers together and scenting them many times. This is a unique tea variety in my country. The tea is named after the flower, and the flower is better because of the tea. Scented tea originated in the Song Dynasty, began in the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, many tea houses in Beijing were famous for selling jasmine tea. In the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Changyi opened Zhang Yiyuan Tea House, which was passed down from generation to generation and specialized in making and selling jasmine tea. During the Republic of China, Zhang Yiyuan was famous in Beijing. Frequent customers of bathhouses and theaters almost always asked for Zhang Yiyuan when drinking tea. Peking opera masters Qiu Shengrong, Ma Lianliang, Tan Fuying and others were also Zhang Yiyuan's old customers. After the public-private partnership in 1956, Zhang Yiyuan gradually lost its original characteristics of specializing in the sale of scented tea. In 1992, Zhang Yiyuan's traditional jasmine tea production process was restored. When making Zhang Yiyuan jasmine tea, Fujian roasted green tea spring tea is used as the tea base. The initial production process mainly includes withering, killing green, rolling, baking and other processes. This kind of scented tea, which is loved by the people of Beijing, has a unique flavor, is of good quality and low price, contains a deep cultural heritage of old Beijing, and has a wide market. However, the production technique of Zhang Yiyuan jasmine tea is relatively complicated and the manual labor is quite hard, so fewer and fewer people are willing to learn this technique. The inheritance and development of scented tea making technology has become an urgent problem to be solved.
Scented tea making technique (Wu Yutai jasmine tea making technique)
Scented tea, also known as "smoked tea", "scented tea" and "scented tea", belongs to the category of reprocessed tea. Among them, jasmine tea is made by scenting green tea with jasmine flowers for many times. The tea brings out the fragrance of flowers, and the flowers enhance the flavor of tea. The tea flavor and the fragrance of flowers are cleverly integrated, which constitutes the unique quality of jasmine tea and is known as the treasure of scented tea. Wu Yutai, founded in 1887, is a well-known old tea brand in China. It has always adhered to the unique scenting technique of self-collection, self-scenting and self-mixing. It mainly includes nine processes: making tea leaves, selecting flower sources, maintaining fresh flowers, making magnolia base, scenting and mixing, dissipating heat through flowers, picking flowers, baking, and evenly stacking and packing. Only spring tea base is used, the "three no-picking principles" of jasmine are adhered to, the proportion of Anhui tea base is appropriately increased in the blending, and unique techniques such as "low temperature slow baking" are used, which eventually formed the characteristics of Wu Yutai jasmine tea: "fresh and lasting aroma, mellow and sweet taste, clear and bright soup color, and resistance to brewing". Due to the high cost of jasmine tea raw materials, complex processing techniques, long cycle, and the influence of other teas, the current market share is declining year by year. In terms of publicity, the people also have a great misunderstanding of jasmine tea, thinking that jasmine tea is low-quality tea. Faced with market competition, many traditional varieties of jasmine tea in enterprises are even operating at a loss at a low price. In addition, due to the difficult working environment and high technical difficulty, young people are unwilling to inherit and learn the jasmine tea scenting technique, and the inheritance of this traditional technique faces a grim situation.
