Female: How about we pick the tips and then remove it. Let the tea juice come out because the tealeaf is quite spicy at the edge. They will help each other and the tea juice come out on the surface so the tea juice will easy to count that with the air and more of that. So tea farmer usually let it sit for longer time about to 10 to 12 hours. So you will find that the green tea leaf will become a little bit darker or deeper in colors. The tea would become like this, totally dark. That is our black tea. We call it China’s red tea, but you will call it English breakfast tea or English black tea in England. Add some sugar in it in the morning. English people do like the color of the dry tea leaf but Asian people, they will look at the color of the tea as by brown or deep red in color so they call it red tea. So that tea is called “lapsan suchung”. How do you feel when you smell it?
Female: Very fragrant.
Female: And quite strong, right. So that tea is quite famous in Europe because that red tea is quite different from another type of China’s red tea. That one, not only had rose and the tea farmer also put it in the small house and put some hot air in there. The hot air can help them more mature and become dry and at the same time all the smokes will give fragrant in it. So it become more smoky and strong. So if you love this tea that’s perfect for you. The tea leaf contain the same character. It is very easy to adds up all the fragrant. So usually when I finish making tea, I will collect all tealeaf and put it in the refrigerator. So next day you will find your refrigerator very clean and all the unpleasant smell will go away. The foul smell would disappear it can help you to clean the room or if you have a small cotton bud, you also can put some dried tea leaf and put the small bud in your shoes.
So next time, you go to the Japanese restaurant to get sushi, take off the shoes, you won’t feel embarrass because all the unpleasant smell will go away too. So if you find any tea, and the aroma is gone away and you don’t want to drink it don’t throw away just put it in your s shoes it’s very useful, it’s a good helper for you at home. So that’s to red tea.
