Tea Knowledge Encyclopedia 茶叶知识大全

The soup is transparent and bright

This is the most intuitive standard for judging whether it is a good tea. Regardless of whether the tea soup is red, green, black, white or yellow, the key is to be "translucent". In addition to being pleasing to the eye, the translucent color of the soup also shows that the tea making process is excellent, the fermentation control is reasonable, and there are no phenomena such as frying; tea production, storage and transportation Properly, the tea leaves are less broken; the storage conditions are good, there is no dust, and there is no mildew; the tea contains rich substances and is well released.

However, the brewing method must be scientific. If the brewing is improper, for example, the water temperature is too high, the brewing time is too long, etc., the phenomenon of dark mixing of the tea soup may also occur.

There is also a situation that needs to be paid attention to, that is, some teas with more millimeters, such as Biluochun, Baihao Yinzhen, etc., fall off when brewing, which can easily make people mistakenly think that the tea soup is cloudy, so pay attention to distinguish.

Bitterness is present but dissipates quickly

Bitterness is the original taste of tea. As the saying goes: "No bitterness or astringency is not tea." If there is less bitterness in tea, it will feel thin and monotonous.

Well-processed and reasonable tea, the bitterness is not obvious, but there is still some. Because tea has a bitter taste, but the key is whether it can be quickly dissipated.

If the bitter and astringent taste remains in the mouth, the so-called "staring at the tongue", the tongue surface feels astringent and rough, bitter and unpleasant, and it should not be regarded as a good tea.

No peculiar smell, water smell

1. Odor refers to the taste from the outside world, not the taste of the tea itself.

There are two kinds of peculiar smells: one is that there is a problem with the tea processing process and improper craftsmanship, resulting in some poor quality tastes, such as green, smoke, burnt, etc.; the other is that there is a problem in the storage process, the tea has deteriorated or absorbed some External odors, such as old, musty, perfume, etc.

When storing tea, you must pay attention to it, once the odor is absorbed, it is almost impossible to remove, no matter how good the tea is, it will be ruined.

2. Water smell refers to the separation of tea smell and water smell, resulting in a light fishy smell.

The smell of water often appears when the tea soup becomes weak, but good tea will not separate the tea water. For example, a good Longjing, even if the tea soup is brewed like white water, is still sweet, light and not fishy.

fresh leaves

The bottom of the leaves of a good tea, no matter which of the six major tea types, is fresh and fresh. The bottom of the leaves is tender and shiny, smooth to the touch, and has a certain thickness and elasticity when pinched.

Description of the freshness of the leaf bottom: the raw materials of the tea leaves are good; the bottom of the leaf is the reduction of tea green; the tea production process is good, and the tea is not killed; the tea is brewed properly, and the tea leaves are fully brewed, but the tea is not brewed, and the tea is stuffy.

Good tea is delightful

Bad tea will make people feel more depressed the more they drink, with bad ingredients, poor craftsmanship, and improper storage. If you can't judge this kind of tea from various aspects, your body will tell you that it is boring and uncomfortable to drink.

So if you are not sure about the above standards, just take drinking pleasure as the only standard. After all, tea is liked by almost all countries and nations in the world, because of the essence of tea-drinking tea makes you feel good .
