People around the world love tea, mostly because it can bring a sense of peace and tranquility. Jasmine, due to its fragrant and rich aroma, is often labeled as being too lively and lacking in dignity. However, in the Tongxin She Teahouse, there is such a cup of jasmine tea - Fuzhou Jasmine Silver Needle Tea, which breaks this stereotype and skillfully combines tranquility and liveliness, just like a lively and poetic encounter.
This cup of tea seems simple, yet it has a unique charm. It doesn't have a grand pattern, nor does it aim to "last forever" as its purpose of existence. But its vividness is just like the vigorous youth, brimming with infinite vitality. The more vivid it is, the better it can soothe the mind and relieve depression, dispelling the haze from the soul. And perhaps this is the unique feature of jasmine tea. It is not a universal item, and its price is not particularly high either. But with its vivid taste, it can teach us to tolerate the imperfections of the world. Its seemingly "uselessness" actually has the power to soothe the heart, helping us better bear the ups and downs of life.
As the city flower of Fuzhou, jasmine has taken root deeply in the land of Rongcheng (Fuzhou) since a thousand years ago. Nourished by the passage of time, it exudes a fresh fragrance. When jasmine meets tea leaves, a wonderful chemical reaction occurs. The fragrance of jasmine neutralizes the bitterness of the tea leaves, and the sweet and pure flavor slowly seeps into the bottom of the heart from the tip of the tongue. It has a bitter taste with a hint of sweetness, just like the taste of life - there are bitterness and also the aftertaste of sweetness. "A thousand jasmine flowers are used to scent the tea leaves, and a mouthful of tea contains thousands of strands of floral fragrance." The fragrance of jasmine tea has been deeply lingering in the hearts of every Fuzhou native. Even if they are far away from the familiar streets of their hometown, that delicate tea fragrance will still float leisurely in the dreams of their memories, evoking a strong feeling of homesickness.
Fuzhou Jasmine Silver Needle Tea is like a delicate scroll, perfectly showcasing the beauty of the integration of tea and flowers. Each tea leaf is like a carefully carved silver needle, as silvery white as the clear water of a pond. Tiny white downy hairs float in it, just like rippling waves carrying patches of snow, which is incredibly beautiful and captivating. And all of this beauty is inseparable from the rich and long-lasting fragrance of jasmine. Every time it is brewed, it is as if jasmine flowers are slowly blooming in front of our eyes, and the elegant floral fragrance spreads everywhere, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
With tea as the bone and flowers as the soul, only with a heart that pursues perfection can such high-quality Jasmine Silver Needle Tea be made. It can be regarded as the "pinnacle" among jasmine teas. Its taste is fresh, pure, and full-bodied. Taking a sip, it is as if you are instantly transported to a flower field full of blooming flowers. The fragrance of flowers and tea intertwines, making people feel comfortable and happy, and the mood becomes pleasant accordingly.
Mr. Wang Zengqi once said, "I advise everyone not to have a narrow taste. Try everything, whether it's ancient or exotic food. For example, try some kui (mallow) and xie (Chinese chives). A person who eats Chinese cabbage all year round has no luck with good food." This statement also applies to tea tasting. When it comes to drinking tea, don't have a narrow preference either. Carefully distinguish and try more high-quality teas, and you will always gain unexpected surprises.
