How to choose white tea in a tea shop

There are three steps to buy white tea, none of which can be omitted. Look at the appearance, smell the aroma and taste it in turn.

Look at the appearance, mainly to see whether the appearance of white tea meets the requirements and whether the color is natural and normal.

The so-called appearance requirement is that the name and grade of tea should be consistent.

For example, the appearance of Bai Hao silver needle must be chubby buds, and the dense Bai Hao has the appearance characteristics of one flag and one gun.

Another example is the appearance of Bai Mudan, which is characterized by one bud and one leaf or one bud and two leaves, with slender leaves and thick white hairs on the back of the leaves.

Shoumei, a bud with three leaves and a bud with four leaves, is what it looks like, with thick tea stems and small buds.

Familiar with these appearance requirements, you can buy the same grade of tea. If we buy a white silver needle, it can't have the characteristics of a bud and a leaf.

As for the color of new white tea, it is explained in detail according to the season.

Spring white tea (tea picked in spring) is mainly bright green, tender green and dark green.

From Baihua Yinzhen, Bai Mudan to Chunshoumei, their colors are all green, just like the main color of spring. They are full of green eyes and look extremely comfortable.

If the color of spring white tea made in that year is black and red, it is all the influence of bad technology, such as heap fermentation.

If the white tea is not spread out in time in spring, the tea leaves will be piled together, which will inevitably make great changes in the color of tea leaves. The most intuitive thing is that the color has turned black and red.

When you encounter this kind of white tea, you need to be vigilant and buy it carefully.

White tea in autumn is more complex and rich in color. In different solar terms in autumn, the color of tea is slightly different.

Autumn white tea, which has its own characteristics in several seasons, is the beginning of autumn first plum, Bailu first plum and Hanlu first plum.

Different solar terms have slightly different colors.

Beginning of autumn Shoumei and Bailu Shoumei are similar in color, mainly in five colors. Common colors are: bronze, brown, yellow-green, dark green and emerald green.

Leng Lu Shou Mei's color is relatively neat, mainly dark green, with occasional brown, yellow-green, bronze and so on. , but the proportion is small, the overall color looks not as rich as beginning of autumn Shoumei and Bailu Shoumei.

Smell the aroma, mainly to smell whether the aroma of new white tea is refreshing and whether there is an odor.

The aroma of new white tea should be comfortable, clean and non-irritating. These are the most basic requirements of a new white tea.

If we want to buy white tea with high tea quality, the white tea we choose must be fresh, fragrant, rich and lasting.

Product, the purpose is very simple, that is, to see whether white tea has bitterness and whether tea soup is sweet, mellow, mellow and soft. If the tea soup is not bitter or astringent, sweet and mellow, it belongs to high-quality white tea.

When brewing, we should also pay attention to the brewing times of tea. Usually high-quality white tea can be brewed at least 8-9 times.
