2022年新茶金骏眉红茶

3月28号的时候，我正在太姥山上闲逛。

看天，看云，看茶。

看挑茶工挑茶，顺便跟李麻花斗嘴。

桐木关的大姐正巧这时候打电话过来。

她在那边热情高涨，小妹，你们要不要上来看我们采茶？最近天气特别好，金骏眉马上就要采了。

我的心里瞬间一跳，眉眼都开了，金骏眉要采茶了耶！

李麻花也兴高采烈地凑过来，说，我们去看采金骏眉吧，我好想去....

然而，查了一遍政策之后，我们打消了去桐木的念头。

现在的状态，只能留在太姥山，哪儿也去不了。去了可能就只能在那山上呆着了。

虽然都是呆在山上，但太姥山可比桐木好玩多了，桐木那就是个更加交通不发达的山区，夜里一片漆黑，年轻人更少，几乎走几步就是个密林，冷不丁的再窜出个猴子来，把李麻花拖去当了压寨夫人可怎么办？

虽然心痒痒，但借我十个胆子也不能去。

李麻花不高兴地踢着石子走了。

我也十分地惆怅。

虽然去不了，但还是跟桐木的大姐保持着联系，一直在关注桐木金骏眉的采摘情况。

今年桐木的金骏眉，是3月30号开始采摘的。

最早开始采的时候，数量极少极少，一天只能采一斤毛茶——这量真的是非常之低的了，诺大个茶园，一天才一斤，挑完估计只有8两，太金贵了。

比起普洱茶动不动就以“公斤”起售的庞大产量，比起福鼎白茶以“担”计算的制作规模，金骏眉这一天一斤毛茶的节奏，实在是太过于精致，太过于高贵了。

幸好老天爷赏饭吃。

接下来的天气，阳光灿烂。

对于桐木这种地方，阳光灿烂，便能让茶树得到极好的光合作用，但又不致于让茶树被过度的紫外线灼伤。

毕竟，那巍巍的群山，那茫茫的原始森林，想要给种植在其间上百年甚至数百年的茶树们挡上半天的光、遮个半天的阴凉，也不是什么难事。

故而，有了阳光的照拂，桐木菜茶的芽头，仿佛打了强心针一样，生得多了一起来。

七八天之后，一天便能采两到三斤毛茶了。

这个产量很是喜人。

要知道，金骏眉，是单纯的采桐木菜茶的芽头，采摘时，不但对地域有要求，对茶树有要求，对采摘的标准，也是严格控制的。

菜茶一般不怎么大修剪，顶端优势很少重新分配，产量自然是不高的。

一天能采两到三斤毛茶，那真的是值得庆祝的一件大好事了。

尤其，今年的阳光还特别多，晴天一直贯穿了整个金骏眉的采摘季节。

所以，大姐说，今年有多做一点，去年喜欢金骏眉又没买到的茶友，有口福了。

今年的金骏眉还有另外一个特征，那就是制优率很高。

这跟茶季晴天多，天气晴好，气温稳定，有极大的关系。

今年总共采了18-19天。

由于天气好，这些茶青采下来，被闷到，被晒伤，被渥堆的概率，非常之低。

也由于天气好，在初制的时候，便极顺畅——茶青很顺利地走水，很顺利地发酵，很顺利地就做成了毛茶。

闻上去，极香。

喝起来，花果香十分地清雅高洁，如同山中幽兰一般。

“扈江离与辟芷兮，纫秋兰以为佩”。

说起桐木金骏眉的香气，我专门去搜集过相似的花香，但找来找去，发现都不太像：茉莉太幽，苦楝太俗，含香太甜，柑橘太浓烈，杨槐太妖艳.....

都不是金骏眉的风格。

但在这些花香身上，不同程度，都存在着金骏眉的影子。

但又不全似。

于是，每每喝金骏眉的时候，便感慨，果真，曹老写得很对：千红一窟，万艳同杯。

这金骏眉的香气如此特殊，岂知不是万艳同杯，多种花香齐聚一杯的原因？

今年，桐木山上，外地客商几乎绝迹。

整整19-19天左右的金骏眉茶季，桐木大姐家一个外来人员都没有。

全村人自己关起门来，安安静静地做茶。

其实，这样也是好事。

做茶的时候，最忌客人来，来了便要招待，要带上山去看茶树，看采茶，至少要搭进去一个人工，是非常不利于茶叶生产的。

客商不来，大家认真做茶，等茶做好了，客商再来试喝，来挑选，这才是正道。

如果硬要数外来人员，那采茶工算是一类。

按往年的情况，通常情况下，桐木的采茶工，少数是本村的，多数，是江西来的——也很近，名义上是出省，实际上，只是跨过了一个关隘。

一脚踏两省那个著名的景点，就是分界线。

线的这边，是桐木村，是福建。线的那一边，是江西。

江西采茶工到桐木来采茶，就像走亲戚，也许，多少年来，两地通婚互嫁，也成为了惯例。

嫁出来的女儿回娘家请嫂子，请侄女来帮忙采茶，除了亲戚的情分，还有经济上的互帮互助，这雇与佣之间，便少了几分冰冷，多了不少亲情的维系。

采茶，便好像是走亲戚，既全了亲情，又保住了经济——桐木村人世代做茶，世代为茶农，哪怕最严格的计划经济时代，也没有人种地种稻谷，仍旧是种茶采茶，用制成的正山小种红茶，换粮票换油票换米票等生活物资。

那时候，许多江西女儿嫁到桐木来，便是图的这里不种地，虽然是农村，却不辛苦。

而今年，这种便利也成了稀罕物，于是本村的采茶工成了香馍馍。

On March 28, I was hanging out on Taimu Mountain.

Look at the sky, look at the clouds, look at the tea.

Watching the tea pickers pick tea, and bicker with Li Mahua by the way.

Tongmuguan's eldest sister happened to call at this time.

She was very enthusiastic over there, little girl, do you want to come and watch us pick tea? The weather has been very good recently, and Jin Junmei will be picked soon.

My heart jumped in an instant, my eyebrows opened, Jin Junmei was about to pick tea!

Li Mahua also happily came over and said, let's go to see Jin Junmei, I really want to go....

However, after checking the policy, we gave up the idea of going to Tongmu.

In the current state, I can only stay in Taimu Mountain, and I can't go anywhere. If you go, you can only stay on the mountain.

Although they all stay on the mountain, Taimu Mountain is much more fun than Tongmu. Tongmu is a mountainous area with less developed traffic. It is dark at night and there are fewer young people. Almost a few steps are a dense forest. What if the monkey came and dragged Li Mahua to be Mrs. Yazhai?

Although my heart is itching, I can't go even if I have ten courage.

Li Mahua kicked the stones and walked away unhappily.

I am also very sad.

Although I can't go, I still keep in touch with Tongmu's eldest sister and have been paying attention to the picking situation of Tongmu Jin Junmei.

This year, Jin Junmei of Tongmu began to be picked on March 30.

When we first started picking, the quantity was very small. We could only pick one catty of Mao tea a day—this amount is really very low. Nuo has a big tea garden, only one catty a day. After picking, it is estimated that only 8 taels, too Gold is expensive.

Compared with the huge output of Pu'er tea that is always sold in "kilograms", compared with the production scale of Fuding white tea in "dan", Jin Junmei's rhythm of a pound of hairy tea this day is really too delicate and too noble. .

Luckily, God gave me a meal.

The weather that followed was sunny.

For places like tung wood, the sun is shining, so that the tea tree can get excellent photosynthesis, but it will not cause the tea tree to be burned by excessive ultraviolet rays.

After all, it is not difficult for the majestic mountains and the vast virgin forest to block the light and shade for half a day for the tea trees that have been planted for hundreds of years or even hundreds of years.

Therefore, with the sunshine, the buds of Tongmucai tea, like a shot in the heart, grew more and more.

After seven or eight days, two to three catties of Maocha can be picked a day.

This yield is very gratifying.

You must know that Jin Junmei is simply the bud of the tung tree tea. When picking, there are not only requirements for the region, but also for the tea trees, and the standards for picking are also strictly controlled.

Vegetable tea is generally not pruned very much, the apical dominance is rarely redistributed, and the yield is naturally not high.

To be able to pick two to three catties of Mao tea a day is really a good thing to celebrate.

In particular, there is still a lot of sunshine this year, and the sunny days have been throughout the whole picking season of Jin Junmei.

Therefore, the eldest sister said that I should do a little more this year. The tea lovers who liked Jin Junmei but didn't buy it last year will have a good time.

This year's Jin Junmei has another feature, that is, the high rate of excellence.

This has a great relationship with the many sunny days in the tea season, the weather is fine, and the temperature is stable.

A total of 18-19 days were harvested this year.

Due to the good weather, the probability of these tea greens being suffocated, sunburned, and piled up after being picked is very low.

Also because of the good weather, it was very smooth when it was first made - the tea greens went through the water smoothly, fermented smoothly, and the hair tea was made smoothly.

Smells great.

When you drink it, the fragrance of flowers and fruits is very elegant and pure, like the orchid in the mountains.

"Hu Jiangli and Pi Zhixi, Ren Qiulan considers them to be their pets".

Speaking of the aroma of paulownia jinjunmei, I have specially collected similar floral fragrances, but I have searched and found that they are not very similar: jasmine is too quiet, neem is too vulgar, the fragrance is too sweet, the citrus is too strong, Yang Huai is too flirtatious.....

It's not Jin Junmei's style.

But in these floral fragrances, to varying degrees, there are shadows of Jin Junmei.

But not quite.

So, every time I drink Jin Junmei, I sigh with emotion, sure enough, Mr. Cao wrote it right: a thousand reds and one cave, and Wanyan in the same cup.

The aroma of this Jin Junmei is so special, how could it not be the reason why Wan Yan is in the same cup, and a variety of floral fragrances gather in one cup?

This year, foreign merchants almost disappeared on Tongmu Mountain.

For the whole 19-19 days of the Jinjunmei tea season, there was not a single foreigner in the family of the elder sister Tongmu.

The whole village closed their doors and made tea quietly.

In fact, this is also a good thing.

When making tea, it is most forbidden for guests to come, and when they come, they have to entertain them. They have to take them up the mountain to see the tea trees and watch the tea picking. At least one laborer is required, which is very unfavorable for tea production.

If the merchants do not come, everyone will make tea seriously. When the tea is ready, the merchants will come to try it and choose. This is the right way.

If you have to count outsiders, then tea pickers are one category.

According to the situation in previous years, under normal circumstances, a few of the tea-pickers in Tongmu are from the village, and most of them are from Jiangxi—and they are very close. In name, they are out of the province. In fact, they just crossed a threshold.

The famous scenic spot in the two provinces is the dividing line.

This side of the line is Tongmu Village, which is Fujian. On the other side of the line is Jiangxi.

Jiangxi tea pickers come to Tongmu to pick tea, just like visiting relatives. Perhaps, for many years, intermarriage between the two places has become a practice.

The married daughter goes back to her parents' house to ask her sister-in-law and her niece to help pick tea. In addition to the affection of relatives, there is also mutual financial help. The relationship between hiring and servants is less cold and more affectionate. maintenance.

Picking tea is like visiting relatives. It not only saves the family, but also saves the economy. People in Tongmu Village have been making tea for generations, and they have been tea farmers for generations. Tea picking tea, with the made of Lapsang Souchong black tea, for food stamps for oil stamps for rice stamps and other living materials.

At that time, many daughters from Jiangxi married to Tongmu, because they did not cultivate the land here. Although it was a rural area, it was not hard work.

And this year, this kind of convenience has also become a rarity, so the village's tea pickers have become Xiangmomo.
