How many catties are there today, I want them all. We have been friends for more than ten years, I can trust your tea, and you can rest assured that I am a person. Sitting side by side with him at Chen Changhua's house, he naturally took the teapot in his hand, dried the tea and heated the water, and Qin Cunyang was skillfully busy.
The familiarity like family comes from the tacit understanding between the two families who have been dealing with tea for more than ten years. Around 2013, Qin Cunyang, a tea merchant from Shandong, went to Guizhou to find good tea. After he arrived in Pu'an County, he fell in love with the tea here at a glance.
In the tea market, Chen Changhua (first from left) is talking with a tea merchant.
The buds are small, full of color, refreshing and sweet, and they are cheaper than those in other places. With more than 30 years of keen insight into the tea business, Qin Cunyang firmly believes that this "treasure of tea" is worthy of long-term cooperation, and placed an order of thousands of catties of dry tea at Chen Changhua's house for the first time.
From the historical source, the Pu'an area has the world's earliest tea seed fossils, which proves that it has been the core area for the growth and reproduction of high-quality tea trees since ancient times. "There is good tea in Pu'an, but at that time, this 'jade' was not widely appreciated by the world. Qin Cunyang said bluntly: "But I believe that if it is gold, it will not be buried." ”
As he said, in recent years, with the transformation and upgrading of the Pu'an tea industry, coupled with the state's policy support for the development of the tea industry in the western region, the economic benefits of tea have become more and more prominent. The number of people who grow tea and understand tea has increased exponentially, and local tea processing factories of all sizes have sprung up, forming a joint force for the development of the tea industry.
Since then, Qin Cunyang has come to Guizhou almost every year to look for tea, and with the increasing convenience of transportation and logistics and Internet informatization, more and more Shandong villagers have taken Guizhou as a treasure land for tea like him. Tea has become an economic and cultural link connecting Guizhou with all parts of the country.
Every morning during the trading session, tea farmers come to the tea market with the dried tea they have made.
Nowadays, Pu'an County regards the tea industry as one of the local pillar industries, and the area of tea plantations has reached 1830,000 acres, more than 05 acres. Here, whether in the planting process, or the processing technology of semi-finished products and finished products, it is favored by tea merchants and markets across the country with its quality and momentum that does not lose to other major tea provinces.
Zhao Danlin, also from Shandong, is 54 years old this year and has been making tea for nearly 40 years. In the past, he only bought tea from Shandong and Zhejiang, since more than ten years ago with the villagers to "plant" Guizhou tea, the tea source in his home has walked from "two legs", and gradually showed the trend of "three-legged" in Shandong, Zhejiang and Guizhou.
The reason why Guizhou tea is favored, in addition to the good tea source and excellent workmanship, in his opinion, the most special thing is that due to the unique "microclimate" of Pu'an, the dormant period of tea trees is relatively short, and the mining time of spring tea has also become the earliest in the country. "Tea drinkers want to 'try the new', and the 'earliest' brings 'rare', and this characteristic alone is enough to make Pu'an tea occupy a place in the country. ”
Also devoted to it is Zhejiang tea merchant Huang Huixiang. When I set foot in Guizhou three years ago, I originally had the mentality of exploration, but I was moved by its unique charm at every moment of looking at the tea mountain, picking tea buds, smelling the taste of tea, and tasting the fragrance of tea, and I was determined to make quality tea and brand tea here.
Tea farmers in Pu'an County pick tea in the tea mountain.
He believes that the quality of Pu'an tea is due to the high mountains and mist, the ecological purity and flawlessness, and the enthusiasm of the local people, which makes him determined to take root in this land.
In the future, I also plan to build a high-standard base in Guizhou, learn from Zhejiang's advanced tea garden management model, and skillfully integrate the traditional frying techniques of West Lake Longjing to create a high-quality Qianlong Well, so that tea customers from all over the world can appreciate the unique tea charm of Guizhou that integrates East and West, and has both ecology and craftsmanship. Huang Huixiang said.
