One morning, the village aunt Chen was drinking the Qiaoxian.

I was immersed in the world where the fragrance was filled, and I suddenly saw a message, which was really shocked.

The other party said: "Drinking white tea does not need to be too particular about it. What kind of tree species and processes are too complicated. I think the white tea made of large leaves in Yunnan is also good."

At this time, I feel helpless.

Therefore, it was suggested that the tea friend went to see the white tea national standard first.

In any case, the national standard is higher than all, it is the standard of the industry, and it is also the rule that every tea drinking person needs to understand.

However, the tea friend was dismissive.

He said that he should not believe too much about the national standard. After all, the rules are dead, and people are alive.

What's more, it is the first tea leaves, and then formulated national standards. What kind of tea is good to drink, don't care too much about it.

Some of the teas that seem to be in the Buddha's department may be worthy of praise from outsiders.

But when I read it carefully, I found that there were "pits" everywhere.

The most obvious thing is that he has ignored the national standard.

However, national standards are higher than all folk customs, and they are also higher than all individuals.

State -owned national laws, family rules, enterprises have rules and regulations, and tea also has industry standards.

This truth is just like crossing the road without a red light.

Some people may say that my family is opened and does not need to go to work.

However, even if it is opened, can you not follow or obey the rules when you go out?

Even if you are a freelancer, can you say what you want?

The existence of the system needs to be "awe."

There are standards in any industry.

Different tea also has different standards.

White tea has national standards, green tea has national standards, oolong tea, black tea, and black tea all have national standards.

However, there are a large number of keyboard men who are still willing to be a person who can't wake up after watching the national standard and come to come and entangle.

Just like the tea friend who said that "the white tea made by the large leaves of Yunnan", he tried to challenge the entire white tea circle with one person.

Fortunately, the eyes of the masses are clear.

Sober people never follow the trend.

According to GB/T 22291-2017 "White Tea", the white tea is divided into four products: white mill silver needle, white peony, tribute eyebrows and Shoumei.

Among them, white silver needles and white peony are based on the variety of large white tea or narcissus tea trees.

The tribute eyebrows are based on the group planting tea trees.

Shoumei is based on big white tea, narcissus tea or group tea trees.

This standard provides a basis for tea farmers, tea merchants, and tea customers to produce, sell, and purchase white tea.

Only from these three tea trees and tea made of buds, leaves, and tender shoots can it be called "white tea".

Of course, some people will use other tea trees as raw materials for early adopters and process them with white tea process.

For example, use the raw materials of Longjing tea, use the raw materials of Dahongpao, and use the raw materials of Pu'er tea ...

If these products are really produced, they are not in line with standards.

No matter how delicious it is, it is interesting, but it is not a variety of tea trees stipulated in the white tea country.

Therefore, you do not admit it.

Imagine that if one day, the white tea country label the bottom line, and all the tender shoots picked on all tea trees can be called white tea with white tea process processing.

So, isn't it that the whole world can make white tea by itself?

Then, the village aunt Chen and Li Mahua can also plant a few tea trees in the yard in front of their own door, which will be collected in spring and autumn.

If there is really that day, please come to the tea friends, and our "handmade tea" is definitely unique.

In addition, there are regulations in the national standard.

Is it a white tea? In addition to watching the variety of tea trees, you have to look at the craftsmanship.

Most people's understanding of the white tea process is two words -simple.

Some people even think that white tea can drink.

There are indeed some tea farmers. When making white tea, they just put them in the sun.

After drying, put away and pulled it directly to the market for sale.

This is not only saving time, but also effort, but also saving more effort than others to seize the opportunity.

But whether the tea made of this can be called white tea, but also a big question mark.

There are two main steps for the production process of white tea, one is withering and the other is drying.

Simply, but for tea farmers, seeing tea and tea require experience everywhere.

If you encounter a master of temperament or do not do tea, you may not know how to let it be dry for a few days, how to spread it on a sunny day, and how to spread it on a cloudy day.

When the sun is withering, take it out when the sun is withered, and then take it back. When the sun is strong and the temperature is high, how to deal with it.

As the saying goes, the insiders look at the door, and the layman watches the excitement.

Those who do not understand tea, only know that the tea should be spread in the water sieve, and then put it under the sun for water.

As for a more detailed approach, he did not know that the tea maker cannot explain in detail.

Drying is a university question. To master the temperature, it should not be too high or too low.

It is too long, too short or not.

In addition, different categories, white silver needles, white peony, and Shoumei. Because of the different body structure, the drying temperature and time are different.

White tea that only withered and not dried must not meet the national standard specifications. The tea is not dry enough, the water content is not up to standard, which is higher than 8.5%.

There are also white tea, exposure to the exposure, pile, and high temperature drying, causing damage to the internal quality, and it is not a real white tea.

The quality made through inappropriate ways can not reach superior quality, and it will not be able to become boutique tea in the future.

"4"

As a consumer, you may have limited understanding of tree species and craftsmanship.

However, you can perceive the quality of a white tea from the more intuitive "color, fragrance, and taste".

Take the white silver needle as an example. In the national standard, it is divided into two levels.

One is a special -grade white silver needle, and the other is a first -class white silver needle.

Different levels have different sensory quality, including the requirements of strip, crushing, clarity, color, color, aroma, taste, soup color, leaf bottom and other aspects.

The special white silver needle must be fat, thick and thick, silver -gray -white, and shiny.

These are a basic judgment from the appearance.

If a white silver needle is found, its buds are thin, slender, white, and even without white.

Then it proves that the quality of this white silver needle is defective.

Let's look at the aroma of the special white silver needle, pure and fragrant.

As we all know, the fragrance is the variety of white tea, which is deeply engraved in the DNA.

And because of the white silver needle, Bai Zi densely set, so the incense is more prominent and obvious.

There is no fragrance, or a thin white silver needle, which will be abnormal.

The taste of white silver needles is fresh and refreshing, and it is full of flavor.

Drinking soup should be fresh, refreshing, vivid, mellow, refreshing, and comfortable.

It's like the fresh cucumber just collected, full of juicy and clear.

After drinking, I only feel that the mouth is very refreshing, not sticky, greasy, and not irritating.

In contrast, some white tea, due to tree species, crafts, or other problems, resulting in damage to the internal quality.

The soup was drinking, and it had long gone.

What's more, there is a uncomfortable taste, which has a lot of odor and odor.

These tea leaves are just the name of "white tea", but there is no white tea.

To the market, it really lowered the horizon of white tea, and it has the reputation of damaging white tea!

"5"

For white tea, we cannot just use "delicious" as the standard.

If it is based on personal taste, where should I put the national standard?

Before drinking tea, you should consider which category of tea.

If you buy white tea, you need to determine the tree species and crafts, and then drink the standards of "fresh, fragrant, mellow, refreshing".

In this way, we can have more opportunities to meet good tea.

Based on these prerequisites, it is the right way to consider whether it is delicious or not.

If everyone ignores the national standard and make tea as soon as possible, isn't it a mess in the industry?

The street is full of white tea. Which one is good and which one is bad?

Go to drink one by one, when will it be a head?

At this time, when the national standard comes out, the most accurate judgment can be made.

Just like Bao Gong more than nine hundred years ago, integrity, justice, and selflessness.

In any case, you can decide wisely.

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