Shangyi Street, a small tea shop to Shangyi Street, is the first time to Kunming was guided with a past, because ordinary tourists have to buy some flowers away from here: to Shangyi Street tea shop, because I the interest of tea much better than flowers; came to this shop because it was not readily visible, but the shelves filled with aged Pu'er. I want to buy Pu'er.
Shop by car parks, export, very few, only about 10 square meters, there is no decoration. The left and center of the wooden wall shelf is put out the shape of the colors of different age Chen Pu'er tea, put the bag right side of tea, and some tea. Rely on the right side of the ground put a small table, drinking tea are used, there are a few small stool in front of. Placed on the left is the elegant glass bottles containing the blue, roses, 37 of the tea category, the right side of the table there is a small bookshelf. The boss is away 20 young man, not handsome, but laugh like a very honest, to the honest, the first time I went I bought two years to prepare the different aged Pu'er get back collection.
Second trip was a sunny Saturday afternoon, nothing to do, wandering the streets, thinking of what the boss and tea, we leisurely manner Akira the past. It's been almost half a year, which also recognize my boss, and later learned from his mouth, where he bought Pu'er, and, as I do "understand tea" many people, so he still vaguely remember. So, I sit down, he was enthusiastically gave me to drink tea. I first found from his shelves the topic, he was placed on the bookshelves of the Taoist maxim, and Han Fei Zi REVIEW like books. I saw a similar point just books, then, begins with the Legalist and Taoist culture and chatted with him off from.
Loving boss of China's classical culture, but read-only to secondary schools, can not read classical Chinese. He is Yunnan, after graduating from junior high school became a People's Armed Police, demobilization, he could take office, but he could not stand the atmosphere outside the office, they will come out himself to open a tea shop, was opened more than a year, business can be. One-month rental stores was necessary to thousand dollars, earned by themselves and 1000 to block, and living at ease, and without Yangrenbixi, you can also drink tea and chat with people, living life with the relaxed freehand.
They are served tea family, and his uncle, his brother's apprentice, and then his sister, and he has opened a shop, is different is that his brother do is wholesale, he and his sister to do the retail , so that a division of labor, and their tea purchase cost will be much lower. Moreover, his younger brother to the Simao and other areas where their tea, and different from other wholesalers, cash settlement, but also enjoys a good reputation, tea farmers are willing to give him tea, and tea farmers have no capital risk, given the price is relatively lower. The price of tea so that they would be quite competitive in the market.
I asked him what kind of tea and a good sale, he answered with a little gap in my imagination. Sold here, most are placed in the ground like blue and elegant and the tea roses, a lot of tourists here, well versed in tea is not high, potential buyers, Chen shelves of tea are in fact very small. We chat a moment, on the some of the tourists to buy blue and elegant, and tea roses. I went four times to see a lot of people where to buy tea, but no one ever ask Chen tea on the shelves. At that time I asked him why he did not put all blue and elegant, his secretive smile, "This is in Yunnan, always have to put some unique tea on top." He replied. He put it this way, even my learning the marketing people than ashamed.
We chatted for a whole afternoon, until the flower market to close before I bid farewell. I wanted to learn from him about how to detect where the concept of color can identify Yan Chen tea years, his answer a little bit let me down, saying it was soaked and we have to know. As a result, he was a kind of warm tea, a kind of bubble tea places open for me to drink, but also told me that the age of each of tea, let me distinguish the taste of each tea. I did not dig a penny, he drank a lot of white tea, feel the level of my appreciation of tea, there has been much improved. Parting, he also gave me a little green tea, let me go back and taste. Although I still do not know what his surname, he did not know what my last name, they have never asked before, but I think our hearts have been very close, this may be called Junzizhijiao bar.
The third to go with the big sister to return to the Shenzhen river to fly Yee Street before and has not yet prepared to buy some flowers to take back. Sister Jiang is the director of our clients, project managers. I went to the store to go is to buy tea, ready to get back to honor his father. Father of good tea, but only after our family do not drink green tea, green tea Shangwei grandmother said. Drinking are called Dian Hong tea, bubble tea out of bitter bitter, good-looking does not taste good. Since my 95 years of Longjing tea from Hangzhou brought back after they began some resistance, drink Longjing later, since he does not drink tea which has not Shang Wei. Now, he do not drink the elderly non-Premium Tie Guan Yin, and also to use Zi Shahu bubble. Some time ago I met him and said to bring good tea to give him something to drink, what guy actually said: "There are good black tea?" Air rage I do not know where to play out, or next to the aunt to my rescue, the Dow : "your son said there had啦."
Which I was with my previous boss to buy the same growing tea, because the last friendship, this time again a little lower than the previous price. When leaving, the boss stopped us and asked me to have free time to help him think about how he was engaged in the tea shop. Sister on the side of the river laughing, saying, "You really would do business with this person, you know, I asked them how much money to spend it?" Confused he was very embarrassed, very embarrassed, I said to him hastily I would think.
The fourth to go, is a matter a few days ago, he said that he had rented down next to the pavement, and wants to engage in larger, but also urged me to help him plan to plan.
