When you meet a question, "There are different varieties of tea, is the tea tree the same?"

Of course different.

Tea classification, divided into green tea, yellow tea, white tea, green tea (oolong tea), black tea, black tea, etc.

The classification of tea trees is even more complicated.

According to the basic tree type, it is divided into trees, half trees, and shrubs.

According to the size of the leaves, it is divided into special large leaves, large leaves, medium leaf species, and small leaf species.

According to the breeding method, it is divided into sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.

Press the germination time fast and slow, divide early, early planting, early planting, middle -born, and late species.

According to the color of fresh leaves, in addition to the common green, there are many leaves yellow and albinistic, or because of the high content of anthocyanins, the leaves are slightly purple red.

According to the tea, the tea trees are densely tea, and there are also sparse tea.

According to the proportion of 100 buds, different types of tea trees, tea buds are different ...

In a word, the classification of tea trees is complicated.

Focusing on the processing of green tea, black tea, white tea, and rock tea, the five -point tree species have to be talked about.

"2"

First, what is the adaptability of tree species?

In classification, all tea trees belong to the plant of the tea family.

But between different tea trees, the scope of adaptation is different.

For example, the chefs with exquisite cooking and experienced chefs need to "look at the dishes" when cooking.

Black fish, carp, yellow flower fish, band fish, salmon, etc. are also fish, but the appropriate direction is different.

Some are suitable for steaming, and it may not be delicious after braised.

Some are suitable for eating raw, but the umami taste is damaged after boiling.

The adaptability of the tea tree is probably so.

Some tea trees are suitable for processing into oolong tea.

For example, in recent years, Wuyi Rock Tea has a well -known cinnamon tea tree.

Once the cinnamon leaves are picked into white tea, it is too nice!

Second, the processing of green tea and black tea is not picky tree species?

In the tea circle, green tea and black tea are the protagonists of the big tea market.

According to the definition of "Tea Classification":

Green tea is a product made of fresh leaves as a raw material, which is made of processing processes such as green, twisting, and drying.

Black tea is a product made of fresh leaves as raw materials and processed processed processes such as withering, twisting (cut), fermentation, and drying.

Between the Grand Green Tea or Big Black Tea, it is just a difference in craftsmanship, and there is no emphasis on tree species restrictions.

In a special period, in order to export foreign exchange, the tea circle once had a large -scale "green change red" attempt.

However, tea friends should be a little more clear that large green tea and black tea do not emphasize specific tree species.

It does not mean that all green tea and black tea are processed and produced without tree species.

For example, Longjing Green Tea.

With reference to the national standards of "Longjing Tea", Longjing Tea should use Longjing group, Longjing 43, Longjing Changye, Yingshuang, Jiukeng species and other reviews (recognized).

In recent years, the hot -discussed "black cattle" tea tree in the tea circle is not in the range of Longjing tea.

Narong Well, which has germinated early and early listing, does not meet the standards!

For another example, Zhengshan small breed black tea.

The small species of Zhengshan are fresh leaves in Tongmu Village, Xingcun Town, Wuyi Mountain City and the natural protection area of ​​Wuyi Mountain. They are made of local traditional craftsmanship.

The fresh leaves in the non -protected area cannot be crowned in the name of "Zhengshan Small", otherwise it will be falsifying!

3. What are the requirements for tree species when processing white tea?

Unlike the large green tea and black tea, white tea has clear tree species requirements.

Only fresh leaves with specific tea trees can be made into white tea.

From the national standard of GB/T 22291-2017 "White Tea", you can find the clear regulations.

White silver needles are based on big white tea or daffodils.

White peony, with big white tea or daffodils, one and two leaves as raw materials.

Shoumei, with big white tea, narcissus tea or group tea trees or leaves as raw materials.

Gongmei, with groups of tea trees as raw materials.

(Group tea trees, specifically referring to the variety of tea trees with sexual reproduction in specific areas. Tea farmers often call vegetable tea, soil tea, small vegetable tea, etc.).)

Due to the limited area of ​​vegetable tea, there are few large -scale planting.

In today's white tea rivers and lakes, it emphasizes that the eyebrows with group tea trees as raw materials are more niche.

On the market of white tea, white silver needles, white peony, and Shoumei are more mainstream.

From the previous content, you can clearly know that except for Dabai, narcissus, and group tea, the remaining tea trees are not in the range of white tea.

Including Mezhan, Fuyun No. 6, Qilan, Yunnan Big Leaf Seeds, etc., they are not suitable for processing into white tea.

Like the "Moonlight White" made of the single buds of tea trees in Yunnan Big Leaf, it does not have the unique flavor of the creek honey charm, and it does not belong to the white silver needle!

Fourth, the fresh leaves on the same tea tree can be directly processed into six major tea?

This question is unrealistic.

From the tea production area.

Among the six major tea, in addition to green tea and black tea, many tea has a distinctive regional distribution.

Taking oolong tea as an example, it is mainly distributed in Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan and other places.

Fujian, as a large tea -producing province of oolong tea, covers northern Fujian oolong (Dahongpao, Narcissus, cinnamon); Southern Fujian oolong (Anxi Tieguanyin); Western Fujian oolong (Zhangping Narcissus) and other famous products.

In addition, yellow tea, white tea, black tea, etc. are not all distributed in tea -producing provinces. One side raises one person, and one side of the water and soil has raised one tea.

From the perspective of the production area, it is not feasible to make six major tea.

From the perspective of tea making.

Wen Dao has a successive attack, and the surgery industry has special attacks.

Even if it is a professional chef, it is impossible to be proficient in white cases and Chinese food.

The same is true of tea making, letting the master of Longjing green tea for many years, changing to processing oolong tea, it is obviously difficult to people.

Even if you are surprising, try to use the same type of tea tree varieties to make green tea, black tea, white tea, Pu'er tea, oolong tea, and yellow tea, you may not find the "all -round" tea maker!

From the perspective of economic benefits.

Most of the good tea on the market, most of them have the premise of the production area.

For example, Niubukeng Cinnamon, Shifeng Longjing, Tongmuguan Jinjunmei, Old Ban Zhangshengpu, Taiyu Mountain High Mountain Bai Ji silver needle and so on.

On market value, after the high -priced old class chapter tea is acquired, tea farmers/tea merchants must not hesitate to process them according to Pu'er tea.

If you try to make old class chapter white tea, old class chapter green tea, old class Zhang Zhang black tea ...

May I ask, how can I find the old tea guest who is willing to pay for it?

The same tea tree is used to process the fresh leaves of tea trees into six major tea categories. No matter from which perspective, it is inconsistent with the real tea circle requirements!

5. What is the characteristics of Wuyi Rock Tea?

In Wuyi Rock Tea, including mountain field characteristics, variety characteristics, and craft characteristics.

A mountain field, a flavor.

A master, a flavor.

One variety, one flavor.

The rock tea made from different tea trees has different characteristics of tea flavor.

Take Narcissus cinnamon as an example.

Fragrant cinnamon, mellow but not narcissus.

The characteristic characteristics of cinnamon is that the scent of cinnamon is scent, the tea aroma is strong, and there are composite fragrances such as floral fragrance and fruity aroma.

The tea soup is sharp and smooth, and the soup will form a wonderful spicy stimulus. The more you drink, the more you want to stop.

The tea fragrance of narcissus is quiet, and the fragrance of orchids is the variety.

Different from cinnamon as a shrub, narcissus is a small tree tree species, and it is expected to have a longer life span.

According to the age of the tree, the difference between Gao Cong (30-60 years) and old bushes (more than 60 years) can be divided. The older the tree age, the more obvious the fragrance of the bush, and the more mellow soup.

In addition, including Tie Luohan, Mezhan, Qilan, Huang Guanyin, White Chicken Crown, Ruixiang, Golden Peony, and Tongue, the characteristics of tea taste are different between different rock tea varieties.

From the perspective of tea processing, not only the variety of tea is rich, there are green, yellow, white, green, red, and black.

There are many articles in the classification of tea trees.

Even if it is also Wuyi Rock Tea, the representative of northern Fujian oolong tea can list different variety flavors in the classification of tea trees!

It is far as simple as making tea.

The same tea tree variety is directly made into six major tea.

It's like letting a athlete, at the same time participating in competitive projects such as gymnastics, basketball, diving, weightlifting, archery, horse racing, etc., it is actually impossible!

Tea processing needs to cover many professional content.

From the breeding of tea trees, to cultivation management, to picking methods.

What season is picking? The raw materials are mainly bud heads, or one or two leaves? What method to process after picking?

The details that are tightly linked to face the tea making process directly.

Assuming that tea farmers have claimed that they have made tea for many years, and they are good at making any tea.

When Tieguanyin is popular, Tieguanyin is specifically done.

After the cinnamon slowly rose, it was changed to the rock tea business.

After white tea gradually gets hot, try to make white tea again.

This lack of deep cultivation, lack of focused impetuous tea attitude, is difficult to make boutiques!

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