Tieguanyin Spring Tea 铁观音春茶

For Anxi Tieguanyin, new tea is far better than old tea, especially spring tea. But now there are often many merchants who use old tea to pretend to be new tea to sell to consumers, so how to identify whether Tieguanyin is spring tea this year?

Look at the shape - the leaves of spring tea are generally tightly wrapped, the color is bright, with sandy green, it looks plump and thick, and the aroma is fresh and rich. On the other hand, old tea or summer tea has loose leaves, dark color and a peaceful aroma.

Viewing the color of the soup - when the spring tea is brewed, the tea leaves sink faster and are bright and clear yellow. In the process of storage, old tea will be slowly decomposed or oxidized, and theabrownin will increase, making the color of the tea soup become yellow-brown and unclear, losing its original fresh color.

Tasting tea soup - Spring tea has a fragrant and long-lasting aroma, a mellow and fresh taste, and a lasting aftertaste. The old tea is difficult to drink such a taste, and is not resistant to brewing.
