#50 Lán Cāng Jiāng Shài Hóng Lóng Zhū Gǔ Shù 2025 red tea （澜沧江晒红龙珠古树）

【Origin Traceability】
🌏Born in the "Sun Corridor" in the middle section of the Lancang River in Yunnan, at an altitude of 1,800 meters on the plateau. The tea garden and wild walnut forest grow together, bathed in direct sunlight for more than 10 hours a day, and the gravelly red soil is rich in quartz sand, which gives the tea leaves a unique light transmittance. The leaves are thick like leather, and the buds are densely covered with golden hairs, which seem to be scattered gold in the mountains under the sunlight.

【Craftsmanship Essence】
💎Sunlight Nirvana: Pick one bud and two leaves at noon, wither in bamboo sieve for 36 hours to activate enzyme activity, and refuse to lock the wildness in the dryer;
💎Dragon Ball Secret Technique: Seven generations of tea makers hand-twisted, 8g for one ball, the tightness is just like the budding camellia, which not only preserves the internal quality but also facilitates aging;
💎Time Tempering: 72 hours of exposure in the open air drying field, ultraviolet rays and mountain wind jointly shape the "sunshine flavor", and cotton paper bags are packaged to retain the sun-drying genes.

【Epic of Taste】
🍵Look at the shape and smell the aroma: Longzhu is round like amber, and the cold smell is like roasted pecans mixed with wild rose honey, with the warm sweetness of sun-dried autumn grains;
🍵The first brew breaks the cocoon: the moment the boiling water is poured in, the golden red soup color is like a burning cloud, and the mouth is like biting into a juicy wild mountain date, sweet and fresh;
🍵Three to five brews: the honey aroma is wrapped with the rich fruit flavor of sun-dried persimmons, the cheeks are full of saliva like chewing plums, and the throat echoes the aroma of roasted pine needles;
🍵After seven brews: the soup color gradually turns into sunset orange, the taste turns into rock sugar kumquat water, the bottom of the leaves stretches like a butterfly spreading its wings, and the veins are transparent and quartz crystals can be seen.

【Aging prediction】
🎁The new Longzhu made in 2025 is in its youthful prime, and drinking it now is like embracing the sun in your arms. After three years of storage, the honey aroma will settle into the texture of maple syrup. After five years, the throat will add mushroom wood tones. After ten years of aging, the soup color will turn into wine red, and the cold cup will have a fragrance like aged sherry.

[Key to tasting]
✅1. Tea awakening tips: Boil water through the surface of the dragon ball, let it stand for 2 minutes to awaken the "sunshine memory";
✅2. Weapon list: coarse pottery Jixu pot stimulates wild charm, hammer-eye pattern glass cup to watch the golden circle jump;
✅3. Water injection metaphysics: 95℃ fixed-point low-injection, the first three brews are 30 seconds to break the shell, and each subsequent brew increases by 10 seconds to squeeze out the essence of sun exposure.

[The true meaning of tea ceremony]
This sun-dried dragon ball is a love letter written by the plateau sun to the fast times——
💚No need for a complicated tea ceremony, a mug can also brew a whole piece of sunshine. Throw one in the morning to prolong life, which is equivalent to three cups of American refreshing; stewing and warming the stomach late at night is better than half a pot of yellow wine to soothe the heart. The real healing power lies not in the Zen space, but in the wisp of golden dust that rises when the boiling water hits the dragon ball.
