In the past, the packaging of tea leaves was mostly simple taupe paper bags covered with special flowers, one flower, two flowers and three flowers. Tehua is the abbreviation of super scented tea, and Sanhua is of course the abbreviation of tertiary scented tea. Three flowers are the favorite of Chengdu people, not that they don't like special flowers and one flower, but those are too expensive. Under four flowers, the quality is too poor. Three flowers just happened, and people found a charming critical point between the rich jasmine fragrance, fresh tea fragrance and appropriate price. Chengdu people, who pay attention to details and are content with contentment, do not deliberately compare and are not too perfunctory, collectively agree with this best cost performance. Therefore, for a long time, "spending three flowers" (that is, enjoying three flowers) is a sign of a happy Chengdu person-he is hedonistic, temperate and, of course, contented.

Introduction of Sanhua Tea:

Chengdu people who are a little older know that Sanhua is the "third-class jasmine tea" produced by Chengdu tea factory. "Sanhua" is famous, and later it was named after it and became the brand "Sanhua Brand" which was popular all over Chengdu. Now many tea drinkers still love to say "Go, play three flowers" when they go to the teahouse.

although I am not addicted to alcohol and tobacco, tea is indispensable. Now that the living conditions are good, the past "three flowers" have disappeared from the market, and the grade of tea I drink is higher than before, but I often pick up the teacup and always think of the third-class jasmine tea.

Historical habit:

"Water in the Yangtze River, tea on top of Mengshan Mountain", Sichuan is the hometown of tea. "What a jasmine flower", located in Longquan area of Chengdu, is very suitable for planting jasmine because of its soil quality, climate and sunshine. From the time before the harvest season, in addition to farmers, residents near East Street also chose the size of jasmine as a sideline income. The technicians who make jasmine tea in Chengdu are highly skilled, and tea drinkers drink more jasmine tea, and I am no exception. It's just that the salary was low and there were many children, so the high-grade scented tea was out of the question. There are roughly three types of tea I drink. One is "flower powder", that is, the part where tea and flowers are damaged into powder in the production process of tea factory, and the price is very cheap; The second is "broken flowers". In the production, although flowers and tea were damaged, they did not become powder, and the price was slightly higher than the flower powder; The third is "three flowers". At that time, about the 196s and 197s, it was the most popular variety for middle-income people. It had the characteristics of jasmine tea and the price was moderate, and shops often ran out of goods. When I talked to my daughter about this the other day, she still remembered going to the tea shop on Sunday to queue up with me to buy "three flowers". After the reform and opening up, we entered the market economy for a period of time, and because of the influence of "three flowers" among tea drinkers, we had the "three flowers" brand. Two delicate leaves hold three jasmine flowers in bud in an orderly arrangement and become its trademark. Of course, at this time, there is no meaning of "three levels".
