In the misty green mountain tea field, tea picker Wang Xiaocha guards the tea garden passed down by his ancestors, working at sunrise and returning at sunset. What she picked with her fingertips was not only spring tea, but also her dedication to the ancient tea-frying skills - bamboo plaques were spread to dry, iron pots were greened, and charcoal roasting was carried out. Her awe for tea was hidden in every step. But the tea market at the foot of the mountain has long since changed. Instant tea bags have seized the market. The hustle and bustle of live broadcast tea sales has overwhelmed the shouts of traditional tea stalls. Wang Xiaocha's handmade tea has gradually become uninterested.
The return of daughter Wang Ting is like a pebble thrown into the peaceful tea soup. This girl, who had worked as an e-commerce operator in the city, brought her mother's handmade tea to the Internet with her live streaming equipment and new ideas. The conflict between mother and daughter began: Wang Xiaocha insisted that "tea must be tasted to have soul" and objected to Wang Ting's use of filters to package tea; Wang Ting believed that "the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys" and was obsessed with creating a "Qingshan Tea Girl" persona. From the tea garden to the live broadcast studio, from helping neighbors to dealing with tea merchants, the mother and daughter slowly found the balance between tradition and modernity through repeated frictions and compromises.
When the first online order came from thousands of miles away, and when the old tea customer recognized the familiar fragrance of tea in the live broadcast room, Wang Xiaocha finally understood that protecting tradition is not about being complacent. Wang Ting also understood the time story behind each piece of tea through her mother's perseverance. This is a book that hides the fragrance of green mountain tea. It records the temperature of tea pickers' fingertips, the livelihood in the tea basket, and the daily life of two generations protecting their craftsmanship in different ways.
