Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The tea that is packaged and sold is naturally a relatively high-grade part of the tea. Even if it is a low-grade tea, you have to choose the one with complete leaves and natural color. After the tea leaves are made, they have to be screened again to remove over-ripe tea leaves due to uneven heating, so as not to affect the taste of the tea.

Such an attitude of excellence is of course good, but it reduces the ratio of raw tea leaves to finished tea leaves, and a lot of waste is added. At first, the tea masters didn't know what to do with the tea, and they couldn't bear to waste it, so they had to collect some tea and drink it by themselves.

However, just a few tea masters, even if they drink it every day, how much can they drink? Still had to throw away a large portion in the end.

Later, when Li Xin was inspecting the situation of the tea factory, he heard about this incident, and in a flash of inspiration, he came up with a perfect solution.

He asked the tea master to gather the tea leaves that would have been thrown away and grind them into uniform tea leaves. Then, find a relatively fine linen cloth, divide it into small pieces of two or three inches square, wrap the tea powder in it, and tie it with a thin thread. In this way, the tea bag that is common in later generations was born.

Overall, the cost of a tea bag is not even a penny. Compared with the low-grade tea sold by Tianranju for ten or twenty cents, the difference is nearly twenty times. After the first batch of tea bags left the factory, Li Xin sent a lot of tea bags all over Lantian County, and every household got a few bags. After experiencing the convenience of tea bags, all the tea masters were amazed by Li Xin's idea. Farmers in Lantian County are also full of praise for the tea bags.

For those who plan food in the ground, of course, they don't have so much time to make tea sets and tea bowls, and they don't even have the mood and time to taste tea. For them, when they were working in the field on a hot day, a woman would come to the edge of the field and bring a large bowl of fragrant tea. Women also think that it is not difficult to make tea with tea bags, but they just throw a tea bag into the boiling water. They are also willing to do such things, so that their men can feel better. As a result, of course everyone favors tea bags.

After getting affirmation, Li Xin began to sell tea bags.

It is impossible to sell tea bags in Tianranju, otherwise it would be like selling instant coffee in high-end coffee shops? Not to mention the question of whether someone will buy it, any boss with a normal mind would not do such a thing of self-degrading "store status". Therefore, these tea bags are just sold at another stall.

Originally, Li Xin just felt that he had done a trivial thing, and his original intention was to save costs and make more money. As a result, something he didn't expect happened: the tea bag conquered everyone with its extraordinary magic power.

It was only later that he figured it out, compared to preparing a set of tea sets to make tea in a serious manner, it is obviously more convenient and quicker to throw the tea bag into the boiling water and drink hot tea after a while. For the vast majority of ordinary people, taste is not the primary pursuit. Even for people who often go to Tianranju to drink tea, they don't need that kind of enjoyment every time they drink tea, sometimes they just want to drink a cup of hot tea as quickly as possible. At this point, tea bags are clearly a premium choice that cannot be ignored.

As a result, the income from selling tea bags grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon caught up with more than half of Tianranju's tea sales. Is it really the legendary small profits but quick turnover?
