Wujiang smoked bean tea

Wujiang is located on the bank of Taihu Lake, where rivers cross, and it is rich in fish and rice, more melons and pods, and farmers smoke and bake beans to make smoked bean tea. The preparation of smoked bean tea is mainly baked beans, supplemented by green tea, with fried sesame seeds, dried carrot strips and orange peel, as well as fresh Zhenze black bean curd, which is slightly salty. When making smoked bean tea, first put the fine tea into a small handloom, brew it with boiling water at 95℃, and then add 30 or 40 smoked beans; Some also put tea and smoked beans into the handloom at the same time, and then brew boiled water. At this time, the tea and smoked beans float in the handloom with the tea soup and gradually sink to the bottom of the handloom, so they can be drunk. Nowadays, in many towns of Wujiang, farmers still keep the custom of making and drinking this tea.
