In the world of tea, Pu-erh tea is unique with its unique charm. Among them, "hanging cup incense" is a symbol of the quality of Pu'er tea. So, what is hanging cup incense?This starts with my indissoluble bond with Pu'er tea.
It was a sunny afternoon, and I first heard the term "hanging cup incense" in a quaint teahouse. The owner of the teahouse is a middle-aged man named Li Hua. He skillfully boils water, warms pots, sets tea, and brews, revealing a deep love for Pu'er tea at every step. In the process of Li Hua's tea brewing, I noticed a detail: every time he finished pouring tea, he would gently sniff the bottom of the cup, and his face showed a look of satisfaction. I asked him curiously what the reason was, and he explained with a smile, "This is the hanging cup of incense, which is one of the charms of Pu'er tea." ”
Hanging cup incense, as the name suggests, refers to the tea soup leaving fragrance on the wall of the cup. Li Hua said that good Pu'er tea has a strong and long-lasting aroma, even if the tea soup has been drunk, it can still leave a long aroma in the cup. This aroma does not float on the surface, but refreshes the heart, making people feel as if they are in the ancient tea mountains and feel the gifts of nature.
In order to let me better understand the incense of hanging cups, Li Hua specially showed me different qualities of Pu'er tea. We taste them one by one and compare them in terms of aroma, taste, and sweetness. Sure enough, high-quality Pu-erh tea does have a very pronounced hanging cup aroma, while poor-quality Pu-erh tea has almost no aroma.
This encounter with Li Hua gave me a deeper understanding of Pu'er tea. I started to pay attention to the concept of hanging cups of incense and tried to make my own Pu-erh tea at home. Day after day, I gradually mastered some skills, and my Pu-erh tea began to show a faint hanging cup aroma. Every time I drink it, it is like having a spiritual dialogue with this ancient tea mountain.
Today, I am a big fan of Pu'er tea. Whenever I get together with my friends, I always make them a pot of fine Pu'er tea and let them feel the magic of hanging cups. In the process of tasting, we not only tasted the aroma and taste of the tea itself, but also experienced the culture and history behind it.
For me, hanging cup incense is not only a taste, but also a feeling. It has made me feel inseparable from Pu'er tea and has made me cherish the good times with my family and friends even more. In this busy world, perhaps we all need to slow down and feel the faint fragrance of the hanging cup, so that it can lead us back to nature and find peace of mind. Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
