观音王和铁观音的区别

如果从概念上来看，铁观音是所有铁观音茶叶的统称，而观音王这是铁观音中的一种，是属于铁观音中的极品茶，是高档铁观音的统称。根据安溪铁观音研究院出台的有关标准。观音王者，其实就是铁观音“茶王”，是铁观音中的“极品”或者“特级”的另一叫法。安溪茶王赛上评出第一名的铁观音茶样，即被称为观音王。真正的观音王茶，应该是经过茶王比赛，一层一层择优淘劣，最终脱颖而出的铁观音茶中王者，每个场次的观音王（每种香型）只有一个，也就是茶王赛“冠军”。因此它和普通的铁观音不一样，唯一性是其最大特点之一。

其实，安溪铁观音茶王赛赛出的茶王是没有流通到市面上的，首先它们的数量很少，只有少量的参赛茶样，其次供不应求。因此，真正的茶王市场上根本买不到。这也是观音王与普通铁观音的区别点。

According to the relevant standards issued by Anxi Tieguanyin Research Institute. Guanyin King is actually Tieguanyin "tea king", another name for "superior" or "superior" in Tieguanyin. The Tieguanyin tea sample that won the first place in the Anxi Tea King Competition is called King Guanyin. The real King of Guanyin tea should be the king of Tieguanyin tea after the competition of tea kings, the selection of the best and the worst, and finally the king of Tieguanyin tea. There is only one King of Goddess of Mercy (each fragrance) in each session, which is the tea king competition. "champion". Therefore, it is different from ordinary Tieguanyin, and its uniqueness is one of its biggest characteristics.

In fact, the tea kings from the Anxi Tieguanyin Tea King Competition have not been circulated on the market. First of all, there are only a small number of them, only a small number of participating tea samples, and secondly, the supply is in short supply. Therefore, the real tea king cannot be bought in the market at all. This is also the difference between King Guanyin and ordinary Tieguanyin.

Therefore, the unique aroma of Anxi Tieguanyin is refreshing and intoxicating. A cup of Tieguanyin is immediately fragrant when the lid is opened, and the room is full of fragrance.
