The Tea Man Village is a rare simple and quiet place in the restaurant, which is located in the Longjing Tea Village, with more than 1,000 square meters of tea fields. Today, the reputation of Charen Village comes from its Hangzhou-style farmhouse cuisine, but in fact, it started with Longjing tea fields and later had a restaurant. The main building of the restaurant is the ancestral home of Zhang Xiangtao, the first generation of tea doctor in China, after more than 170 years, looking at this old wooden exterior house with black tiles, red lanterns and gold plaques, it has a natural antique color, and the green mountains are faint behind it, and the environment is very quiet. Walking into the door is even more unique, the threshold has been stepped low by people over the years, and the house is full of the smell of time precipitation. Bypassing the simple and exquisite wood carved screen is the hall, in the hall there are 6-10 seats of round tables, if the number of diners is small, you can sit in the back garden, the tables and chairs here are small and elegant, classical and square, quite a tea Zen style. If the sun is mild, why not eat and drink tea in the backyard garden surrounded by osmanthus trees, while enjoying the view of the tea fields.
In addition to the fragrant and emerald tea in the garden, the Hangbang farmhouse cuisine in Charen Village is also full of nature. There are almost no famous Hangzhou dishes in Charen Village, and most of its dishes are relatively unique, many of which are self-created, and have a low degree of overlap with other Hangzhou cuisine restaurants. The private osmanthus fish produced by it does not put a little salt and monosodium glutamate, all rely on its own ingredients to taste, from a whole osmanthus fish to cook out a mellow and rich fish soup, and then add bullfrog, mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, lake crab to cook together, the rich soup is milky yellow, the meat is tender and delicious, it can be said that the color and flavor are complete.
In addition to the famous osmanthus fish, the most popular ones in Charen Village are Charen Yipin Chicken and Longjing Chaxiang Chicken. Native chickens are raised locally until they are eight months old, drink spring water, eat small insects, and wander in the countryside, and their meat is firm and healthy. Yipin chicken is served with a few slices of pork belly, and the hops are cooked for a lot of time, and the stew is very flavorful, the aroma is fragrant when the lid is opened, and the meat is crispy and tender. The tea-fragrant chicken is steamed with salted meat, Longjing tea and green onions, the chicken nuggets are marinated in wine, and the fresh fragrance is hung out by the salted meat, which is soft and rotten and not greasy, and it is a pity that it is not very good to eat the tea fragrance. Although this product is not as distinct and impressive as the Internet celebrity restaurant, it is really the Hangzhou Bang's practice of focusing on saltiness, freshness and authenticity. As a farmhouse dish, the products of Charen Village are a little saltier than most Hangzhou dishes, and they are not very exquisite, but if you are tired of eating urban food, you might as well go to Charen Village for a change of taste.
If you come to the restaurant before the summer, you may even be able to taste the Ming Mae Longjing produced in Charen Village's own tea fields. The Ming Qian Longjing in the store is of excellent quality, mellow and light, and the tea fragrance is far away, far beyond the ordinary Longjing, which is not to be missed.
The waiters in Charen Village are more down-to-earth and untrained in the industry, so they are less professional, but unlike the general coldness of Hangzhou's catering services, the waiters here are friendly and patient with customers. If you want to dine in the tea village, the hall and individual seats can be arranged at any time, and there is rarely a waiting room, but the private room needs to be booked a week in advance, and the number of diners between 6 and 20 people can be booked.
