The identification of ancient tea is also a difficult problem to explain in simple and common language in the industry. First of all, it should be made clear that different varieties, hills, altitude, environment, climate, picking, processing and even fertilization of Pu 'er tea will have a direct impact on our drinking a mouthful of tea, so no one can provide a 100% accurate identification method suitable for the public. But there are still some reliable methods.
1, appearance of dry tea (reliability:)
Zuogushu tea, right Taitai tea
Generally speaking, the ropes of ancient trees are thicker and darker. However, as long as you put some thought into it, you can make a similar effect. But relatively speaking, the bud head and two leaves of ancient tree tea are dark through the tea, which is generally difficult to reflect in Taiwan tea.
2. Aroma and rhythm (reliability:)
How tall the tea tree is, the deeper the root system is, and the deeper the root system is, the richer the minerals it absorbs.
Generally speaking, the aroma of platform tea is flying and short-lived, while the aroma of ancient tree tea is calm and lasting. Among them, we will talk about the fragrance of tea and the fragrance of leaves. Here, let's popularize the concept of tea fragrance. Tea aroma does not refer to the aroma smelled by tea soup, but refers to the aroma experienced by the oral cavity. For example, the smell of peanuts is delicious, not fragrant. A properly treated ancient tree, after several times of soaking, or even a dozen times of soaking, is still fragrant in tea and the bottom of its leaves is still fragrant. Relatively speaking, the aroma of dry tea and the aroma of the bottom of the cup are relatively weak, but if the aroma of the bottom of the cup is still obvious after soaking, it can also explain some problems. In addition, the roots of ancient tree tea can deeply obtain the mineral components in the deep soil, and can reflect the uniqueness of each mountain, such as the honey fragrance and delicate soup in Yi Wu, the fruit honey fragrance and crystal sugar rhyme in Iceland, which are hard to appear in Taiwan tea. The calmer the fragrance, the richer the endoplasm and the longer the tree age.
3. Taste (reliability:)
Gushu tea soup is sticky and oily.
Returning to the sweet and promoting fluid production: the durability of returning to the sweet and promoting fluid production of Taitai tea is poor, while the ancient tree tea is relatively stable, fast and lasting, sometimes even within an hour or two. In addition, if you are a tea lover with a certain knowledge of drinking tea, you will also experience a kind of elegance and sweetness different from sweetness in ancient tree tea, so new tea lovers need to practice slowly.
Bitter: Due to different hills and varieties, there will be great differences. However, Pu 'er tea with the same tree species on the same hill has relatively low bitterness and melts quickly.
Viscosity of tea soup: Taiwan tea may be strong (irritating), but most of it is weak. The entrance of ancient tree tea is smooth and rich in endoplasm (especially pectin), and there will be a warm and dense feeling in the taste, which is what everyone calls "thick".
Bubble resistance: Bubble resistance is a good way to identify ancient tree tea, but the bubble resistance of tea will be affected by tea compactness, tea consumption and brewing method. Under the same conditions, ancient tree tea is generally more resistant to soaking, which can generally be soaked for more than ten times, and some can be soaked for more than twenty times. The terraced tea party shows the lack of inside information. Ten teas can't cope with it, and the soup becomes thinner, with the taste of leaves and water.
4. Tea breath and throat rhyme (reliability:)
Good ancient tea can always make you feel the weight of the years he has experienced.
Tea aroma and throat rhyme are a very good way to identify Pu 'er tea, but it needs experienced tea lovers to understand.
Tea taste: At present, many tea lovers are a little confused about the word tea taste, so it is necessary to clarify it here. The so-called tea taste does not mean the intensity of bitterness, astringency and astringency at the entrance of tea soup. These excitements are called the intensity of tea. Tea gas reaction refers to the somatosensory reaction after drinking ancient tree Pu 'er. Because everyone's sensitivity is different, they will have different feelings, including back fever, sweating, fingertip sweating, transparent body, relaxed feeling, smooth blood and rosy complexion. Even sensitive people, people who have practiced qi or have a sense of body, can feel the dredging of meridians and the movement of qi and blood. This is not mysterious, it does exist. In addition, sexual reproduction of Taiwan tea will have a faint tea fragrance, while asexual reproduction can be basically ignored.
Throat rhyme is the cool and comfortable feeling formed in the throat after drinking tea. This feeling will make your breathing particularly smooth and comfortable, and it will also form a feeling that your throat will have a sweet fragrance, and this charm will be brought into your mouth with your breath when you breathe. At this time, you will have an illusion. Why does my throat taste sweet and fragrant? The reason why there is a throat rhyme is that when the tea is rich in endoplasm, the taste will accumulate and be released in the throat when drinking tea soup, while the platform tea is insufficient in endoplasm, so it has been released before accumulation and cannot form a throat rhyme. This ancient tea with throat rhyme can last for more than 10 minutes after drinking. The longer the throat rhyme, the richer the endoplasm.
5. Blade bottom (reliability:)
Active leaf bottom of ancient tea.
Ancient tea leaves from the same hill, the same variety and the same season are generally darker in color, thicker in leaves, more prominent in veins, and better in elasticity and flexibility.
Finally, to sum up, tea aroma and rhyme are not the only requirements for the selection of ancient Pu 'er tea, but they are the most important criteria. As long as the tea is rich and pure, and the tea rhyme is unique and wonderful, it must be a good ancient tree tea. Pu 'er tea, no matter how famous the village or the story is, is not a good Pu 'er tea.
