Yingde black tea, my favorite

After drinking Yinghong No. 9 black tea by chance, I was captivated by its faint fragrance. So I decided to go to Yingde in spring to see where Yinghong No. 9 black tea grows. With the help of a local friend, I went to Hongqi Tea Plantation on a rainy day. The beauty along the way was beyond words. The mountains were lush and green, and tea trees were planted there. Even though it was raining, there were still many people picking tea. It was my first time watching people pick tea up close, and I was eager to try it myself. But I was afraid of getting soaked in the afternoon, so I gave up. I visited the old site of Hongqi Tea Factory to learn about the tea-making process, which was an eye-opener. A leaf on a tree has to go through a long process before it becomes the sweet dew in my cup. After seeing the tea, I naturally wanted to drink it. I was completely captivated by the Golden Monkey tea. The clean tea soup, the faint tea fragrance, and the drizzle outside the window made this spontaneous trip perfect.
