Chapter 39 Drinking Ceylon Black Tea
On the business car, Lu Yu leaned on the backrest very comfortably and hummed an unknown little song gently.
Chen Juncheng looked at him quietly, as if thinking.
Xiao Chen drove the car in a depressed manner, constantly sweeping the rearview mirror with his eyes.
The business car was driving rapidly on the suburbs' highway, and the atmosphere inside the car was quiet and weird.
Finally, when she was about to enter the city, Xiao Chen spoke...
"Lu Yu, why are you so shameless? You can't even say thank you if you're sitting in our car?"
Lu Yu was amused when he heard this: "This is wrong, right? How can I say I am free? It was Master Chen who invited me to have tea! Is it right? Master Chen?"
Chen Juncheng raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, "No, it was you who I invited."
Xiao Chen snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Shameless! I don't even look at my identity. I really think my teacher would invite someone like you to have tea?"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and smiled and said, "I advise you to take back the shameless sentence. It is precisely because your teacher is very shameful that he invited me to have tea! Do you understand?"
"You..." Xiao Chen was stunned by the quarrel and stared at the rearview mirror with anger.
Chen Juncheng chuckled: "Lu Yu is right, otherwise my face would be lost by the idiots in Bincheng Tea Association today."
As he said that, he looked at Lu Yu deeply: "It's just that I didn't expect you would really agree to my invitation."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "You, Master Chen, have no grudges, why don't you agree? What's more, I really need to take a car back to the city!"
Chen Juncheng nodded and looked out the window and said, "The city is here now. Are you still interested in drinking my tea?"
Lu Yu thought about it and said, "This is a problem... I am a picky person to drink tea. I wonder what kind of tea Master Chen has?"
Chen Juncheng smiled slightly, turned to look at Xiao Chen and said, "Go to Mingxuan Teahouse."
Mingxuan Teahouse?
Xiao Chen was stunned and said, "Teacher, do you want to?"
Master Chen did not answer this question, but looked at Lu Yu again and said, "Last year, I have been living in Sri Lanka. Do you want to try the Ceylon black tea I made?"
Ceylon black tea?
In the world where Lu Yu was originally located, Chinese tea was spread all over the world. Although Ceylon black tea is also famous, most of the things he came into contact with were Chinese tea.
He has not studied much about Ceylon black tea, assam and Darjeeling black tea.
However, Chinese tea disappeared in this world, and master tea people will certainly highly recommend these foreign tea products.
Thinking of this, he also became interested in his heart and nodded, "Okay, then I'll try the Ceylon black tea made by the master!"
Xiao Chen curled his lips and muttered, "You guy is so lucky to drink the tea made by the teacher!"
...
Mingxuan Teahouse.
After the last time Zheng Xi "smashed the situation", the manager of the teahouse has been replaced.
Seeing the boss coming in person, the newly appointed teahouse manager immediately invited the three of them to the exclusive VIP tea room on the second floor to serve them carefully.
After sending away the manager and irrelevant people, Chen Juncheng sat in the main seat and signaled Lu Yu and Xiao Chen to sit down.
Xiao Chen bowed respectfully to Chen Juncheng, and then sat aside in a manner.
Lu Yu sat on the solid wood chair casually and smiled and said, "It's such an honor for the master to make tea with his own hands."
Xiao Chen said angrily when he heard this: "Lu Yu! Do you understand the rules?"
Lu Yu glanced at him: "Rules? I only know the rules of tea guests, and I have no interest in the rules between you master and apprentice."
"you!"
"Okay, Xiao Chen, Lu Yu is right. There is no magnanimity in front of Cha, and he is not my disciple. Just be as you like, don't be stubborn."
After Chen Juncheng said that, he opened the electric kettle, took out an exquisite white porcelain tea pot and poured the tea leaves into the tea lotus.
"Ceylon black tea is usually broken tea, but I prefer neat tea shapes, so that it is not made according to traditional techniques."
Lu Yu nodded gently, and his expression became solemn after seeing the tea in Chaheli.
The tea leaves in the tea lotus are slightly black, the ropes are tight and even, and the body bones are excellent. It is indeed a rare good tea.
Chen Juncheng said: "Among Ceylon black tea, uwa tea is the most famous. But I prefer Nuwala Eliya tea, which is the most suitable for drinking and elegant. I wonder what your opinion?"
Chen Juncheng's words seem to be simple and casual, but they imply the meaning of comparison.
Ceylon black tea is divided into six major production areas. The tea products in each production area are different. Being a tea person is not that simple. In addition to being able to pick and make tea, one must also have an in-depth understanding of each tea system.
If Lu Yu shows hesitation or confusion at this time, it means that he loses this exam and will be despised by Xiao Chen next to him.
Xiao Chen was indeed looking at Lu Yu with disdain. Although Ceylon black tea is famous all over the world, ordinary tea customers do not know the difference between the six major production areas, let alone tell the advantages and disadvantages.
You, Lu Yu, are just a young boy who only knows fur and is not even a tea man. What kind of tea can you understand?!
Lu Yu was so smart that he instantly understood what Chen Juncheng meant. Fortunately, although he had not had a deep understanding of Ceylon black tea, he still knew some of this knowledge.
"Master Chen said that Nuwara Eliya tea is the most suitable for clear drinks? But I don't think so."
"Oh?" Chen Juncheng looked at Lu Yu with great interest.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Actually, I think the Uwa tea is better in Ceylon black tea."
As soon as Chen Juncheng said this, before Chen Juncheng could speak, Xiao Chen sneered: "Hehe, wuwa tea is suitable for clear drinks? Have you ever drunk wuwa tea?"
Lu Yu shook his head honestly and said, "I haven't drunk the best umwa tea, but I have tried OP-grade umwa tea several times."
OP grade is a grade term for Ceylon black tea, which refers to tea leaves with long and complete leaves. It is the abbreviation of "Orange Pekoe" in English.
If you don’t have a certain understanding of Ceylon black tea, it is absolutely impossible to say these things casually.
Sure enough, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes: "Do you actually know OP-level?"
Chen Juncheng also raised the corner of his mouth and said with great interest: "You continue talking."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Xiao Chen said I had never drunk wuwa tea. Maybe it was because wuwa tea was bitter and irritating. Many people like to make milk tea and drink it."
"But, after careful savoring, the umwa tea contains a unique mint and lily of the valley. After the initial bitterness, it returns to sweetness quickly and mellowly, and the charm does not dissipate for a long time."
"In addition, when brewing, the umwa tea soup is orange-red and bright, and a golden aperture will appear at the top, just like an emperor's crown."
"Isn't such a good tea that is pleasing to the eye and has endless aftertaste? Isn't it a big deal to prepare it with other drinks?"
"Did you give up the endless joy of savoring the clear drink just because of the bitter moment when you first enter? Isn't this a blind eye?"
