Yangzhou good tea is boiled in a "stuffy pot"
West Lake Longjing and Suzhou Biluochun "Toucai" tea are more expensive than gold. In comparison, Yangzhou's famous Green Yangchun tea is in The quality is not inferior, but the price has been greatly reduced. The reason is that the marketing promotion is too "shy"——
Due to climate reasons, this year's Yangzhou real estate tea "first harvest" "Ten days earlier than in previous years, the earliest new tea in Yizheng began to be picked on March 28. In the past two days, tea houses in Yangcheng, large and small, have successively announced the launch of new tea "Green Yangchun". However, the launch of new tea in Yangzhou is extremely low-key. Only a few tea houses set up woks in front of their stores, following the old routine of "new tea is fried and sold now."
On the other hand, famous teas such as West Lake Longjing, Suzhou Biluochun, and Anhui Maofeng all make a big fuss about "Toucai" tea, and do their best to publicize and hype it. The auction price of a kilogram of new tea is more expensive than gold, and The sky-high price of "Toucai" is getting higher year by year. The shyness of the new real estate tea is extremely inconsistent with the Yangzhou tea culture of "water in the morning".
An unknown good tea
“Objectively speaking, the quality of Yangzhou’s famous tea ‘Green Yangchun’ is not inferior to that of West Lake Longjing, Suzhou Biluochun and other famous teas from other places. It can be said that each It has characteristics." Zhang Chun, chairman of Yangzhou Juchunyuan Tea Co., Ltd., who has been engaged in tea production and operation for more than ten years, said this about Yangzhou tea.
But a tea that is popular but not popular can hardly be called good tea. Zhang Chun gave the example of Fujian black tea "Dahongpao", which is definitely the best among teas, but not many people accept it in Yangzhou.
Although Yangzhou's "Green Yangchun" has only a production history of more than 20 years, the production technology has been continuously innovated and the tea quality has been continuously improved, which has its own unique characteristics, especially the new tea, the soup color and the tea leaves are all green. Tempting. Nowadays, Yangzhou "Green Yangchun" has been recognized by consumers in urban areas, and has also been gradually accepted by tea drinkers in Jiangdu, Taizhou and other surrounding counties and cities. In the national "Chinese Cup" tea competition, "Green Yangchun" has won special prizes many times. It can be said that Yangzhou tea, dominated by "Green Yangchun", is becoming a new star in tea. Yangzhou tea is fully qualified to compete with other famous teas. The same confidence to shout loudly.
“However, there is still a big gap between Yangzhou tea and those famous teas. The only difference is in popularity. In addition to historical reasons, the biggest reason is that Yangzhou tea is not good at promoting itself. ." Zhang Chun thinks so.
Quality characteristics of Green Yangchun tea: shaped like a new willow (leaf), green and delicate. The aroma of the inner substance is elegant, the soup color is clear, the taste is fresh and mellow, and the bottom of the leaves is tender and even.
