As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong line, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong Lang.

For those who love tea, the most afraid is to buy inferior tea.

When I recently sorted out the background message, I found that many people were asking, what is the taste of old white tea?

for example:

"Some people say that old white tea has rock sugar aroma, why haven't I drink it?"

"I heard that the real old white tea smells, there is a scent of ginseng, is this true?"

"According to the XX brick family, after the white tea is stored in a certain year, it will have a very strange agarwood. How many years are it?"

"I found that there is a strong glutinous rice incense in the old white tea. I don’t know if you drink it right?" ...

All these are endless.

Chen Chen, a clumsy village, saw these messages, and was silent.

At the same time, I am also curious, these weird, the aroma of the strange style, where is the "hearing".

However, again, although the old white tea is as famous as heaven, in the hearts of the general public, there is always a layer of mysterious veil.

Today, the village aunt Chen took this opportunity to unveil the true face of old white tea for everyone.

Is there a rock sugar in the old white tea?

No.

In fact, many people use the "sweet sugar sweetness" to describe the soup of white tea, which is clear and cool.

However, "rock sugar fragrance" seemed ridiculous.

Think back that the rock sugar we eat in our lives basically has no aroma.

Only when it is soaked in hot water, and when the rock sugar melts, it will have a sweet taste.

Therefore, the saying of "rock sugar fragrance" is most likely that some tea shopkeepers have to come up with gimmicks for hunting. In fact, it does not exist on the old white tea.

Is there any ginseng in the old white tea?

No.

Ginseng is a natural supplement.

Drinking ginseng incense in old white tea is undoubtedly increased the value of old white tea.

However, from an objective perspective, old white tea has no condition to generate ginseng aromas at all.

Those who said that they had drinking ginseng in the old white tea, the village aunt Chen boldly guessed that it may be that when the tea is usually stored, the Chinese medicinal materials and white tea are placed in a room.

Because of the strong adsorption of tea, the aroma emitted in the ginseng became part of the tea.

From this, a unique "ginseng fragrance" was formed.

Simply put, it is a string of flavor.

And the white tea that is naturally aging, without much interference from the outside world, will not be available.

Is there a glutinous rice incense in the old white tea?

No.

I wrote here, I really feel angry and helpless.

Usually we often describe that good old white tea drinks, the soup feels thick and mellow, and has a slurry like glutinous rice soup.

But some tea friends only listen to half of it.

Listening to the word "glutinous rice", only "soup" was dropped.

As a result, it was passed on to taste.

From the old white tea with glutinous rice soup, it turned into old white tea with glutinous rice fragrance.

As everyone knows, the difference between the word is huge.

The aroma of glutinous rice, I believe everyone is familiar, but whether it is brewing or tea, has never smelled it on white tea.

If we have to say, we have drank a strong rice fragrance on the old Bai Ji silver needle.

But the rice fragrance is different from the glutinous rice fragrance. The rice is similar to the aroma after the mixed grain is dried, and it is unique to the white silver needle. It is unique after the years.

Is there an agarwood in old white tea?

Unfortunately, no.

The old white tea, at the beginning, was heard from the tea friends.

But once the old white tea and agarwood are associated with the wood, it feels very contrary to it.

White tea is the buds, leaves, and stalks on the tea trees, and the fragrance of agarwood is emitted by the wood, a very strange aroma.

In terms of categories, the two are very different.

Tea friends with a little common sense will not confuse them.

"3"

In the previous article, we listed what aroma should not be in old white tea.

The news of the people who collected them from all over, the news of the people is probably wrong.

What is the taste of old white tea? You have to drink by yourself.

Facts are better than arguments.

Then, the village aunt Chen summarized the common aromas of the five old white tea based on his experience.

First, medicine incense.

Always feel that tea is lively and aura.

Because after the production of white tea is completed, its aroma is not fixed.

Instead, with the aging of time, a subtle change has been constantly.

Therefore, drinking white tea at different stages can get a new feeling.

Take the medicine incense, it can be divided into the scent of the new white tea, and the medicine of the old white tea.

In the new white tea, the expression of medicine fragrance is similar to the aroma of herbs.

I believe that tea friends in Fujian, or in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions have a deep understanding of this.

Every summer, there are small stalls selling herbal tea on the street with herbal medicines such as Houttuynia cordata, white flower snake tongue, and vine.

After buying home, cook it into a pot of herbal tea to dispel summer and heat.

When we make new white tea, especially when the new tea Shoumei, we are the easiest to smell this herbal medicine.

In old white tea, the aroma similar to root Chinese medicine.

Such as angelica, windproof, and perilla boiled water, the breath of steaming in the air.

White tea has medicine, which is actually normal. It is a plant in itself. In addition, it is simple in craftsmanship.

It is a great honor to have a bit of similar taste to medicinal materials. Second, flower fragrance.

The fragrance of white tea is also talked about by people.

It is not like jasmine. It needs to rely on the craftsmanship to allow the tea to inhale the floral fragrance, nor does it rely on additional flowers.

These floral fragrances are the aromatic substances in the white tea itself.

In other words, the natural beauty is hard to give up.

There are various forms of flower fragrance, including evening incense jade, magnolia, water banyan, gardenia, gray jasmine, smiling flower, gardenia flower, Qili fragrant ...

Especially when brewing with a white porcelain cover, the floral fragrance level is clear and the british are colorful.

Through the nasal or oral cavity, we entered our body, permeated in the senses, and was charming.

Third, incense.

The incense belongs to the variety of white tea.

As the name suggests, it comes from the furry tea on the surface of the white tea, and it releases the aroma of boiling water.

On the white tea, the incense is a well -deserved protagonist, like a dry reed grass, which smells fresh.

But after the old age, the fragrant incense turned into rice incense.

Moreover, it is no longer as loved as that year, and it has become calm, mature, and strong.

Fragrant incense will accompany the life of white tea, in different forms, without discarding.

Fourth, Chen Xiang.

In the previous article, Agarwood was mentioned.

Unfortunately, only Chen Xiang's old white tea, without agarwood old white tea.

Perhaps this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Someone made Chen Xiang, listening to agarwood, and the aroma of tea after aging the tea, which was mistaken for the flavor of spices.

To be honest, Chen Xiang is the most difficult to describe among the many aromas.

Because it does not have specific references like the fragrance, flower fragrance, and medicine.

Chen Xiang has no real thing to compare, and there is no other aroma to compare, and he is often worn by Zhang Guanli.

Some bad tea shopkeepers, tell the smell of smoke as Chen Xiang, tell the warehouse flavor as Chen Xiang, and tell the mildew taste as Chen Xiang ...

But the real Chen Xiang will only have high -quality old white tea.

It was a kind of plant fiber aging, and the aroma emitted, dry, refreshing, and fresh.

Just like we treat a leaf as a bookmark, sandwiched in the book, and stored it for more than half a year.

With the continuous loss of water, the leaves become dry, and it will also exude a clean taste.

Chen Xiang is similar to this taste.

It is not a odor, odor, nor a mildew, but a quality of white tea.

Fifth, jujube incense.

The formation of jujube incense is different from the first four.

In essence, jujube fragrance belongs to a kind of fruity, and it is a smell formed after fermentation.

Of course, it does not smell the real red dates, which is more like a steamed red dates, or the taste of boiling water with red dates.

Gently, elegant, sweet but not greasy.

After the white tea presses, some plant cells break the wall, the cell liquid flows out in large quantities, and the aroma will be generated after reacting with the oxygen molecule.

This aroma is often born on the good quality of the old Shoumei cake.

San white tea, white silver pinch, and white peony cake will basically not appear.

"5"

Most of the aroma in white tea is natural.

Of course, how much can be retained, whether it is rich or faint, whether the level is rich or single, mainly depending on the quality.

White tea with good production areas, good craftsmanship, and storage, rich aromatherapy, after brewing, it must be delicious and refreshing.

Conversely, the lack of aromatherapy, the taste of soaking out is light and tasteless.

Nothing does not get the essence of white tea, the sense of ethereal, light, and pure.

Good white tea, no matter what year, should be immortal.

The layered aroma is its best proof.

It is not easy to create. If you think this article is helpful to you, please like it.
