? What's the smell of old Tieguanyin?

1, Laoxiang-folk old iron

? There are two kinds of aged Tieguanyin, one is the tea left by Anxi tea farmers after long-term storage. This kind of tea is relatively old, and the storage time is generally more than 25 years. This is also an old folk iron. This kind of old iron is rare and especially precious.

? This kind of old iron also needs to be well preserved. After baking and cooling, tea leaves are sealed and stored in a special cellar of stone and wood structure to promote a series of changes such as after-ripening. Aquilaria sinensis is mellow and sweet.

? In appearance, the cable is also relatively loose, not so tight, not so round and long. At that time, the processing technology was all made by hand, and it was difficult to tighten the cable without any machinery. Up to now, the color is dark brown, the color of dry tea is dark, the color of soup is dark yellow, brown or reddish brown, the taste is mild, it is slightly sweet after brewing and has strong bubble resistance.

? In taste, the old taste is heavier and the carbon taste is slightly lighter, while the "old tea taste" is similar to the "fairy grass taste". Everyone knows the taste of Xiancao. Old tea stored for a long time generally has this taste, and it will be more resistant to foaming with the increase of years. Tea is more mellow, sweeter and smoother.

? This kind of tea is mellow, soft and has obvious "aged taste". Like aged medicinal liquor, it is called "natural health care product". The aged Tieguanyin not only has the function of green tea, but also has the functions of treating colds, indigestion, lowering blood pressure and blood fat, and preventing and treating diabetes, which has been confirmed by experts. Many tea farmers in Anxi have the custom of storing tea in clay pots every year, and they use aged tea as medicine when it is hot or cold.

2, carbon incense-commercial old iron

? The other is deliberate processing and storage, just like Pu 'er tea. With the great success of Pu 'er tea in the 1990s, the special value of aged iron has also been concerned by the industry, and since then, aged iron has officially gone into commercialization.

This kind of old iron was deliberately stored and commercialized from the beginning. Tieguanyin tea is a kind of aged tea, which is made of Tieguanyin tea by unique techniques such as stem selection, screening, blending, baking and storage for more than five years. In order to taste better and be more conducive to storage, compared with folk old iron, there is one more process, that is baking.

? This old-fashioned iron rope is tighter, closer to the modern shape of "dragonfly head, frog leg" and tighter. In addition to the original old fragrance, there is also an obvious fire fragrance, and this old iron has been widely praised as soon as it is launched, and many old tea lovers prefer this fragrance.

? Therefore, on 20 15, Anxi County Committee and County * * * of Fujian Province submitted the application report of Chen Xiang Tieguanyin standard to the National Standards Committee. 2065438+2006,65438+/kloc-0,21,the standard application of Chen Xiang Tieguanyin was approved, and it will be implemented from 2065438+April 26, 2006. The report puts forward more specific requirements for commercial aging iron.

? According to the announcement issued by National Standards Committee 20 1 6,65438+10/,the revision of GB/T30357.2-20 13 Oolong Tea Part 2: TieguanyinNo.1was approved.

? Please note that it must be stored for more than five years to be called old iron. In addition, according to the different needs of the market, a variety of old irons are derived, which increases the selectivity of tea lovers and makes old irons more diversified.

The agarwood Tieguanyin can be divided into aged Tieguanyin tea bricks, Tieguanyin tea cake ornaments, Tieguanyin tea cake pendants, Tieguanyin honey tea, Tieguanyin balsam pear tea and so on. At present, the first three are relatively rare, while the latter two are relatively popular.

? This kind of old iron needs to be refined by the excellent Anxi Tieguanyin and the traditional charcoal roasting process for a long time. And it must be baked again every one or two years; Every time tea is made, it should be baked with carbon melt for 30-60 hours; And then packaged and stored in tiles.

? Strict processing technology makes the old iron black and shiny, quite resistant to foaming, and the color of dry tea is dull, and with the increase of years, the color is getting darker and darker. The taste is mild, and as time goes on, it becomes more and more peaceful. Dry tea smells very fragrant and has a faint floral fragrance. After brewing, the fragrance is more intense.

3, musty smell-deteriorated old tea

As we all know, all food is delicious when it is well preserved, but problems will occur when it is not properly preserved, and Lao Tie is no exception! We have been emphasizing the advantages of aged tea, such as aging and mellowness, but we forgot to remind everyone that drinking aged tea or old tea is also risky. Don't treat poison as an antique.

? How to distinguish deteriorated aged tea from high-quality aged tea?

? Generally speaking, rotten old tea, after brewing, is dull and turbid, just like the color of soy sauce. After drinking it, it has a musty smell, which makes people uncomfortable and even disgusting.

? It stands to reason that rotten tea is easy to distinguish, because the body is the most honest. If you smell something wrong and feel unwell after drinking it, it is probably bad tea. However, many people are too eager for the era of tea. When they heard that this is decades-old tea, they occupied a high position in their hearts. Even if they feel wrong and uncomfortable after drinking it, they dare not question it.

? You know, moldy food is not edible, and moldy tea is not harmful to your health. If you really think the tea is moldy, I suggest you stop drinking it.

? Let's talk about high-quality old tea first. After a period of time, the aged tea with proper technology and storage is still bright in soup color, and its aroma and taste are integrated into one, with mellow internal quality, soft entrance and full charm.

? Every once in a while, I take it out for a drink and find its wonderful changes. This sense of surprise is also the reason why many people are obsessed with collecting old tea.
