In the early morning, the dark clouds dispersed in the mountain village of Tang Peng Town, Lianjiang City. Standing at the foot of Chashan Mountain, you can see rows of tea trees "climbing up the mountain" neatly. Spring tea is green and crystal clear. Not far away, huge windmills swayed with the wind, and there were bursts of tea. Tea farmers are busy picking spring tea by the tea trees in twos and threes.
After Tomb-Sweeping Day, with the warmer temperature, more than 30,000 mu of tea gardens in Lianjiang ushered in the annual spring tea picking season. Rotating windmills, blue sky and warm sunshine, green tea gardens, ethnic tea farmers and dancing fingertips outline a poetic picture of busy spring tea picking. Feng Xue, a village cadre in Shangshan Village, looked at the tea trees planted in Shuangfeng's palm and said that it is the busiest season for tea farmers in a year.
Shangshan Village, Tang Peng Town, Lianjiang City, is located on the mountainside of Shuangfengzhang, the first peak in Leizhou Peninsula. There are 16 ethnic groups living in the village, which is a village with ethnic characteristics. In the tea garden, tea farmers dressed in national costumes stood on both sides of the tea tree, with tea baskets slung diagonally in their left hands and picking spring tea skillfully in their right hands. I saw the tea farmer's fingertips gently stirring the delicate bud tip, and when they were pinched and rotated, the light green spring tea fell into the basket.
"To make Lianjiang oolong tea, you need to pick the tea green with' three leaves and one bud' when picking. This part is the most tender. In addition, we should also pay attention to eliminating aged and wormhole tea, otherwise it will lead to bitter and unpalatable tea juice. " Feng introduced that picking tea also contains profound knowledge.
In the tea-making workshop of Guangdong Long Ming Tea Co., Ltd., the advanced and complete production equipment keeps running, and the noise of the machine is endless. Workers in the workshop are also processing the picked fresh leaves in an orderly way, such as drying, drying, shaking, composting, fermentation, deactivating enzymes, rolling, shaping, drying, etc ... With the increase of temperature, the water in fresh and tender tea leaves evaporates continuously, and then slowly dries, curls and rolls up, leaving plumes of tea aroma molecules.
"The' three leaves and one bud' just picked in the morning will be transported to the tea-making workshop in batches in the afternoon, and then processed after acceptance." Liang Dongyu, a tea worker in Long Ming, Guangdong, said that every step of tea production is very important. The mistake of any step will greatly reduce the taste of tea.
After many complicated processing steps, fresh and tender green leaves become finished spring tea. Soak a pot of spring tea, which smells fragrant and arouses people's desire to taste. After tasting it, the fragrance of tea permeates all the cells on the tip of the tongue. After the tea slips into the throat, the tea fragrance is still sweet and fragrant, nourishing the heart and strengthening the spleen, and the spring is sudden.
There are many details to pay attention to when making a pot of Lianjiang oolong tea. "Be sure to soak in boiling water. The first soaking time can be longer, about 65,438+00 seconds, and the next few times will be controlled at about 6 seconds, so that you can taste the most unique and excellent taste of Lianjiang oolong tea. " Chen Xia, a staff member of Lianjiang Huang Ming Tea Industry, did not stop with his hands when he introduced the steps of making tea. Just the right oolong tea was served in time and poured into delicious cups.
At present, Lianjiang tea planting area is as high as more than 30,000 mu, and more than 20 new varieties of tea trees have been cultivated, with an annual output of more than 9,000 tons of dry tea. In recent years, Lianjiang Tea Industrial Park has been rated as a provincial-level modern agricultural industrial park, and Lianjiang's tea industry is constantly becoming bigger and stronger, driving rural revitalization and making villagers rich.
