? Distinguish between tea and people, gossip Li Xiaolin
Everyone has his own way of drinking tea, and after a long time, he will always have his own feelings. For example, Li Xiaolin of Jingmai Mountain, she said, "Tea culture means drinking, and then talk about it after drinking;" The moral of tea is to solve the problem, solve the problem of mouth and solve the problem of heart. "She doesn't talk about Zen, she doesn't talk about Tao, she doesn't dispute mountains and tea areas. She just loves Jingmai Mountain's ancient tree tea, and she is almost paranoid honestly. She chooses her own materials to make, and the happiest thing is to brew it herself and share it with her friends. As she said, "it is beautiful to make tea and drink tea silently and share good tea with friends and family." "
She often says that tea is just a leaf, just a drink. In fact, she doesn't just regard tea as a leaf or a drink, just like the name she gave Jingmaishan Pu 'er tea-Namu is her daughter, so she personally selected materials and made an ancient Jingmai Mountain tree tea, named "Namu No.1"; Born by the Lancang River and raised on Jingmai Mountain, as a Lahu nationality, she named her tea "Lahu Charm" and "Lahu Daoyun" according to different materials and techniques-she devoted endless maternal love and national feelings to her own Jingmai Mountain Pu 'er tea.
More often, she is in Lancang County and hiding in Jingmai Mountain. To be precise, it should be Lancang Lahu Autonomous County. There, in addition to ancient tree tea, she also runs kindergartens and organic farms. It's interesting to recall here. Isn't the tea in Jingmai Mountain similar to the children in kindergarten? Tea in Jingmai Mountain keeps growing season by season, and children in kindergartens grow up year by year. At the same time, Li Xiaolin, who runs Chashan and kindergartens, let Jingmai Mountain's tea and kindergarten children go to the north and south of the country together, and even all over the world. Isn't helping the world a merit? How kind! Occasionally, she will stay in Kunming for a few days. At that time, her home will be full of guests, and friends will sit around her and make tea for everyone. Jingmai Mountain Pu 'er raw tea, which has been stored for 49 years, was nicknamed "Ferrari" by friends. It is said that it has been abandoned 108, and the essence is completely melted in the soup, which is ruddy and sweet, moistening the throat and nourishing the heart. During Li Xiaolin's stay in Kunming, her friends will get together at her house one day. There are always a few unfamiliar friends who meet at her house. She always has a meal and a glass of wine at home. The meals are all from Jingmai Mountain, Lancang County, and all kinds of vegetables, wax gourd, pork and mead produced by organic farms. ...
The Pu 'er tea in Jingmai Mountain has a strong and lasting aroma, the soup of ancient trees is thick, the orchid is sweet, and the growing environment of shrubs makes it more natural. Li Xiaolin once said that she could even distinguish the pollen of different varieties of orchids and wild honey, and judge the specific tea-producing village accordingly. I once said to her with a smile, "Isn't what we are drinking a whole piece of Jingmai Mountain with infinite scenery? ! "I can even feel that a small world of birds and flowers is becoming clearer and clearer in my mind. ...
Jingmai Mountain, located in Huimin Township, Lancang County, has 10,000 mu of ancient tea gardens. Ancient Tea Mountain consists of more than Bulang, Dai, Hani and Lahu villages, such as Jingmai, Mangjing and Manghong 10. I have been there in mid-July, which was my first time to Chashan. I flew from Kunming to Pu 'er and drove from Pu 'er to Lancang County. After several light rains and heavy rains, I walked 180 km for four and a half hours, and encountered two small-scale landslides on the way. The next morning, I came to Mangjing Village, Jingmai Mountain from Lancang County, and temporarily rented a van at the foot of the mountain. The mountain road is winding and rugged. The old driver only adjusted the steering wheel when the speed did not decrease, and our ass was bounced off the seat from time to time. For more than an hour, the mountain road seemed to have a full-body massage. Two days on the mountain coincided with rain and thunder. In order to prevent accidents, there is only a power outage and frogs croak at night. ...
I've always wanted to write a series of "A Tour of Jingmai Mountain" to record what I saw and thought, but for various reasons, I failed to do so. I just wrote some scattered sentences on the mobile phone memo. For example, on the way, "Before reaching the Lancang River/the straight tree sticks out of the canyon/I want to jump out of the window/jump off the roadbed, fall on the tree/slide along the trunk to the mountain stream/grassland, or shallow stream, or gravel/lie down, lie down, roll around/get tired, and I fell asleep on the root of the tree"; For example, after staying in Lancang County, I woke up, "I would rather be woken up by birdsong/I don't know when the heavy rain will stop/I had a dream all night before the alarm sounded//A window was full of birdsong/the trees were green, the distant mountains were dark/the cuckoos were singing in the distance"; On the way from Lancang County to Jingmai Mountain, I saw the house in the ravine, so I wrote two lines on the memo: "The house is in the ravine/in the arms of all kinds of trees and grass." ...
A friend read my recent writing and asked me, "Why do you always write about Pu 'er tea and some people who run Pu 'er tea?"? You won't switch to making saucers, will you? " I looked at the movie poster of "I am not Pan Jinlian" and replied with a smile: "I am not Pan Jinlian, I am not a tea garden." I immediately remembered that I just read Liu Zhenyun's novel "One sentence is worth ten thousand sentences" two days ago. If I, as a communicator, can make Pu 'er tea and Pu 'er tea people get more recognition, I think this is a merit in my life.
In fact, I have become a disseminator of Pu 'er tea. Whenever someone drinks tea together, or meets someone who is interested in Pu 'er tea, I often talk about my story with Pu 'er tea, from understanding to accepting, from relief to liking, and even infatuation. Whether to drink tea or not is a personal preference. If you want to drink tea, I suggest you drink good tea. The so-called tea selection is good. Personally, ancient tree tea is the best, followed by organic ecological tea. As Chen Fuming said, "drinking tea is a good way to cultivate one's morality." It is better not to drink Taiwanese tea sprinkled with pesticides. " The so-called Chashan is also a personal hobby. Different environments have different tastes. "Delicious taste is precious", there is no need to force it.
Tea tasting time is still short, and it is not yet possible to identify the quality of finished tea material, so when choosing tea, people choose to operate Pu 'er tea. From people to tea, from tea to people. A pure tea man can at least ensure that you drink moral tea, not tea soaked in pesticides. For example, Jingmai Mountain, Chu Fengxuan's boss, Changning Red's boss. I bought some tea classics in the week when the tea industry revived. Although he hasn't met yet, I believe his tea business will be good. I haven't had a chance to observe the whole process of picking and making tea, but through a trip to Jingmai Mountain, I learned to some extent that it is not easy for tea people to find tea. Due to the inconvenient transportation in Yunnan, tea areas are mostly in mountainous areas, and spring tea and valley tea are mostly picked in rainy season. It is inevitable that tea people will have a hard way to find tea, and the price of good Pu 'er tea is slightly higher than that of ordinary tea. What kind of tea to choose, whether to buy or not, depends on personal economic situation.
