Yesterday, I went to Zhengzhou to attend the 2024 Zhengzhou Spring Tea Expo. The expo was held from June 14th to 17th, 2024. Yesterday was Saturday and the temperature was 39 degrees Celsius. Like previous sessions, the huge venue was not fully occupied, but there were more merchants and tourists than expected. It was estimated that people didn’t have to work on Saturday. The hall was very cool, and one could drink free tea, and even free good tea, which was too expensive to buy.
Who are the tourists here? Although I don’t know, I guess most of them should be practitioners in the tea industry, and the rest are tea lovers.
What impresses me the most is that the tea here is really expensive. These expensive teas are mainly concentrated in ancient tree Pu’er, Wuyi Mountain Rock Tea, and Phoenix Dancong Tea. As long as any tea is crowned with ancient trees and wilderness, the word “expensive” is used. In fact, there are not so many ancient trees and wilderness in the tea leaves, and most of them are ordinary platform teas on the market. Otherwise, how can the tea be circulated? How can the manufacturer promote it?
I wandered around for a long time and drank a lot of tea. I came to a booth of a girl from Yunnan. The booth was in the middle but a bit small. She warmly invited me to have tea. When I sat down and looked up, I saw a poster that said “The First Family of Xigui”. The beauty introduced herself as a girl from the Yi ethnic group. The girl had the beauty like a black rose. I asked her how she dared to claim to be “The First Family of Xigui”, and she replied with a smile that her home address was No. 1 in Xigui Village. She took out a cake of tea with the word “Xigui” on it. I saw that the cake was intact and not opened yet, and I said don’t open it. The girl said while opening it, “There’s always a first time.” Although the tea was not as fragrant and soft as imagined, in general, the characteristics of Xigui tea were still there. When I asked about the price, well, the cost performance was quite high.。
Finally, he got up and felt a little drunk. I don’t know if it was caused by tea or someone?
