Fragrant Tea from Yudou Kengzikou
Yudoukengkou in Yongchun County is a major production area for aromatic tea. Typically, when making aromatic tea, the Fu brick tea is first broken into small pieces. At the same time, water is added to a long-necked kettle until it is about seven or eight-tenths full and then heated. When the water just begins to boil, a handful of the broken brick tea is added to the kettle. When the water boils again for about five minutes, an appropriate amount of finely ground spices such as ginger, cinnamon, pepper, and cloves—prepared in advance—is added to the boiling tea. After gently stirring, it is ready in three to five minutes. To prevent tea leaves and spices from mixing into the tea when pouring, a filter is often placed over the spout of the long-necked kettle used for brewing, ensuring that no residue gets into the tea.
