桂花香铁观音

盛夏过去，好多地方的秋天，悄悄到来了。

福建安溪西坪的深山里，秋意正浓，刚下了一场桂花雨。

几千株100多年树龄的桂花竞相开放，整个山谷都是桂花明净的香气，馥郁又清雅。

这时，“梅记”的茶人便开始忙碌了起来，以桂花入茶，这是他们和秋天的一期一会。

做的桂花老铁观音，自是一绝。

一杯泡开，桂花浓香四溢高扬，口感醇和甘爽，馥郁香气从喉底向口腔扩展，香中自带清甜，沁人心脾，喝起来从舌尖到喉头口都是香的。

明代茶学家顾元庆在《茶谱》中写道：“茉莉......桂花、梅花，皆可作茶。诸花开时，摘其半含半放之香气全者，量茶叶多少，摘花为茶。”

桂花乌龙，古时发源于晚清时期的福建安溪。

以花入茶，花茶窨制的工艺自唐朝便有。将茶坯与鲜花混合，鲜花吐香、茶坯吸香，一吸一吐间，花香沁入茶骨。一层花，一层茶，反复窨制多次。

十分耗费人力和时间，如今会这门手艺的茶人越来越少。

现在，生活馆联合“茗家私享”为这款市面难得一见的桂花老铁观音，发起众筹。

由百年茶号“梅记”出品，安溪县级非物质文化遗产代表性项目《乌龙茶（铁观音）制作技艺》代表性传承人王曼尧老先生亲自制作，数量有限，十分难得！

As midsummer passed, autumn in many places came quietly.

In the deep mountains of Xiping, Anxi, Fujian, autumn is strong, just after an osmanthus rain.

Thousands of sweet-scented osmanthus trees over 100 years old are blooming, and the whole valley is full of clear fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, rich and elegant.

At this time, the tea people of "Mei Ji" began to get busy, using sweet-scented osmanthus for tea. This was a meeting between them and autumn.

The old Tieguanyin made of sweet-scented osmanthus is unique.

After a cup of soaking, the scent of osmanthus is overflowing, and the taste is mellow and sweet. The rich aroma extends from the bottom of the throat to the mouth. The fragrance is sweet and refreshing. It is fragrant from the tip of the tongue to the mouth of the throat.

The tea expert Gu Yuanqing of the Ming Dynasty wrote in the "Tea Book": "Jasmine... osmanthus, plum blossoms can all be used as tea. When the flowers bloom, pick half of the flowers that contain the full aroma and the amount of tea. , Defloration for tea."

Osmanthus osmanthus oolong originated in Anxi, Fujian in the late Qing Dynasty in ancient times.

The craftsmanship of scenting scented tea with flowers has been in existence since the Tang Dynasty. Mix the green tea with fresh flowers, the fresh flowers will spit out the fragrance, the green tea will absorb the fragrance, and the fragrance of the flowers will infiltrate the tea bones. One layer of flowers, one layer of tea, repeated scenting many times.

It takes a lot of manpower and time. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer tea people who know this craft.

Now, the Life Museum has jointly launched a crowdfunding campaign for this rare sweet-scented osmanthus Lao Tieguanyin with "Ming Furniture".

Produced by the century-old tea brand "Meiji", Mr. Wang Manyao, the representative inheritor of the representative project of Anxi county-level intangible cultural heritage "Oolong Tea (Tieguanyin) Production Skills", is personally produced by Mr. Wang Manyao. The quantity is limited and very rare!

Both use 16-year-old Chen Tieguanyin tea as the raw material, match the century-old golden osmanthus of the season, and use traditional ancient scenting methods to restore the unforgettable "exquisite sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance" of the ancients.

Shuixian Road in Xiamen around the 19th century

"Meiji Tea Shop" was founded in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of 146 years.

In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, half of the Tieguanyin produced in Anxi County was sold overseas through Meiji Tea. They have also set up semicolons in overseas regions such as Malaysia and Singapore, which are very influential.

The first "Mei Kee Tea Shop" was born on Shuixian Road in Xiamen around the 19th century.

In 1945, Meiji Tieguanyin won the "Taishan Peak" Gold Award in Singapore, which was also the first tea king gold award for Chinese Oolong Tea overseas!

In recent years, Tieguanyin old tea has been loved by more and more tea customers because of its soft and mellow taste and unique taste.

At Poly's 2016 spring auction, a 1973 Tieguanyin 250g of "Mei Ji" sold for a high price of 22,000 yuan!

The high-quality Tieguanyin old tea raw materials are really precious and rare, and the price is rising all the way.

Tieguanyin old tea is precious and rare, not to mention that it is made from osmanthus scented. It can be said that it is rare in the market at any cost. It has a very high drinking value and collection value.

Today, crowdfunding is launched at a price much lower than the market price, which is very cost-effective. Whether it is self-drinking, gifting, or collection, it is very suitable. Tea friends must not miss it!

The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, Guanyin rhyme, old tea and new flowers complement each other. Soaking in a cup of leisure time is really the pleasure of life. You must taste the taste of autumn in this cup.
