In the world of tea, there is a wonderful saying: "With grass above and wood below, people are among the plants and can enjoy the rich aroma. Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth is the real secret of tea." When you step into Tongxin She Teahouse, you can deeply experience this artistic conception that blends with tea. And the "Jinjiaoyi Shuixian", the signature tea of the teahouse, showcases the charm of tea to the fullest.
The Jinjiaoyi tea-growing area is located in the core region of the "Three Pits and Two Brooks", which is a top production area for Wuyi Rock Tea. It lies within the scope of the Big Niulan Pit and is closely related to the Niulan Pit. Like a hidden bright pearl among the peaks, as the watershed between Dakengkou and Niulan Pit, Jinjiaoyi is situated on the basin wall on the left side of the rock top on both sides of the Niulan Pit, surrounded by famous rocks and peaks such as Mantuo Peak, Beidou Peak, and Baoguoyan. Because its terrain resembles a traditional armchair, it got the name "Jinjiaoyi".
The tea trees here enjoy a unique growing environment. The soil layer is thick and loose, the sunlight duration is just right, and the soil is rich in gravel. Facing the Niulan Pit at the bottom vertically, it not only shares the same atmosphere but also enjoys the blessings of the same piece of heaven and earth as well as the micro-environment of the Niulan Pit tea-growing area. Moreover, the Jinjiaoyi tea-growing area receives more direct sunlight than the pits and brooks, providing excellent natural advantages for the growth of tea trees, allowing them to fully absorb the essence of heaven and earth and breed a unique flavor.
The "Jinjiaoyi Shuixian" in Tongxin She Teahouse was born under such superior natural conditions. The high-quality tea leaf materials have undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for its outstanding quality, making it a precious tea.
However, for a good cup of tea, the raw materials are the foundation, and the craftsmanship is the key. This "Jinjiaoyi Shuixian" in Tongxin She Teahouse is carefully crafted by Teacher Wang Guoxing, inheriting the century-old traditional tea-making craftsmanship of Wuyi Rock Tea. From the moment the tea leaves are picked in the mountains, each leaf is carefully taken care of. Through a series of processes such as withering, oxidation, fixation, rolling, and baking, every step pursues perfection, just to ensure that every cup of rock tea can display the purest quality.
Next, let's embark on the sensory tasting journey together. In the first and second infusions, the thick and mellow taste comes first. The smooth and delicate taste glides across the tongue like silk, and the faint fragrance of orchids wafts slowly. Meanwhile, a cool feeling gradually emerges in the mouth. When tasting the third to sixth infusions, the tea soup becomes even smoother and fuller, and the taste is rich and mellow. The moment it enters the mouth, the quiet and elegant atmosphere of the tea-growing area comes rushing in, and the varietal characteristics of Shuixian are fully displayed. The floral fragrance is accompanied by a hint of milky fragrance, and the fragrance lingering on the cup is clear and long-lasting. After drinking, the sweet aftertaste and saliva secretion come quickly, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. Even in the seventh infusion, the charm of this tea remains undiminished. It still tastes sweet and smooth when entering the mouth, the throat feel is still full and comfortable, and the aftertaste becomes even purer, perfectly interpreting the quality characteristics of "rock bone and floral fragrance".
In Tongxin She Teahouse, tasting a cup of "Jinjiaoyi Shuixian" is not only savoring a cup of tea but also experiencing the gifts of nature and the charm of traditional craftsmanship. If you are also a tea lover, don't miss this signature treasure of Tongxin She Teahouse - "Jinjiaoyi Shuixian".
