The affection of the people of Guilin for osmanthus has, over the years, become an indispensable part of the spiritual essence of this city. However, the osmanthus brings not only the fragrance that fills the city, but the locals have also taken this passion for osmanthus to the extreme.
The attachment of Guilin people to osmanthus has, over the years, become an indispensable part of the spiritual connotation of this city.However, the osmanthus brings not only the fragrance that fills the city; the locals have taken this attachment to osmanthus to the extreme.
Osmanthus is used to make osmanthus tea, osmanthus wine, osmanthus cake, etc. These exquisite osmanthus products have also settled into a unique flavor under the catalysis of osmanthus. This is the expectation of Guilin people for osmanthus, and it is also where Huang Rongxiong's dedication to osmanthus tea lies.
Huang Rongxiong collects the raw tea for osmanthus tea every year around the Grain Rain.The tea leaves of this season, under just the right temperature, fully bathe in spring rain and sunlight.This makes the color of the Grain Rain tea green and bright, with full leaves and rich aroma.Therefore, in Huang Rongxiong's view, only the unique fresh fragrance of the tea from this season can perfectly blend with the aroma of osmanthus.
The seemingly monotonous and repetitive actions actually contain countless changes.The final quality of the tea actually tests the depth of the integration between people and tea.Only those who truly understand tea and can express this understanding in the most delicate way can truly be called tea people.
Every autumn equinox, the production of osmanthus tea welcomes the finishing touch—"scenting".
The red tea and green tea that have settled for half a year have been waiting for a long time.The fully ripened osmanthus fragrance has also reached its peak.The process of scenting flowers is a game between people and time.A series of tedious steps are all for one purpose: to ensure that the flowers achieve the best aroma.
The flowers and tea are stirred and left to sit, colliding repeatedly.The meeting of floral fragrance and tea flavor, with various charms, hand in hand like a perfect match, releases the inherent fragrance of osmanthus and unveils the secret taste code.After twelve hours, the perfect scenting comes to an end,but this is just the first miraculous split; to achieve an exquisite taste for osmanthus tea, the scenting needs to be repeated two to three times.
In Huang Rongxiong's view, the patience of gathering and dispersing over time is the essence of the ultimate taste.
A cup of osmanthus tea embodies how much effort the tea person has put in; perhaps only tea people like Huang Rongxiong truly understand.
A leaf and a flower, life goes from withering, rebirth, to blooming.Perhaps it is a reminder to the hurried passersby that, in addition to the beautiful mountains and rivers bestowed by nature to the people of Guilin, a cup of tea can better immerse the essence of Guilin into the soul from deep within.
