Last week, a very new and new tea friend came.

This tea friend is here to buy white tea.

He first explained his situation: he was busy with work, not much time, and he rarely had time to understand tea knowledge. Most of them were drinking tea with friends around him.

In other words, what people drink, what he drinks, is the most time -saving.

I have been empty recently, I have been idle, I want to buy some good tea and drink myself.

I heard that the white tea is very hot today, and after being introduced by friends, I found the village aunt Chen and Li Mahua.

During the chat, he said:

"Excuse me, does white tea belong to green tea? Or green tea belongs to white tea?"

Many small white tea friends who have just started for more than 3 months have asked us with similar questions.

Because there are a lot of articles on the Internet, they are saying that white tea is similar to green tea. White tea and green tea are similar.

In this way, it is obviously a misunderstanding of the children, and can only deceive Xiaobai in the tea industry.

And the old tea guests do not ask this way. After drinking for so long, the six major tea is clearly divided.

It can be seen that there are still many newcomers in the white tea industry.

The popularity of white tea is obstructive!

Does white tea belong to green tea?

Does not belong.

Is that green tea belonging to white tea?

It does not belong to.

White tea and green tea belong to six major tea, but they are two completely different kinds of tea.

Although the six major tea is named after color, it is actually divided according to the degree of process and fermentation.

Green tea is not fermented tea, killing green is its main process.

After picking, you must kill you, rub it, and dry it.

The activity of high -temperature passivation or destruction of polyphenol oxidase can only remove the blue flavor, highlight the fresh taste, and the characteristics of clear soup and green leaves.

White tea is micro -fermented tea.

Therefore, the processing method of white tea is simpler than green tea, and it is also the closest to pure natural existence among the six major tea.

Mainly withering and drying, there is only one key to dry the tea.

Regardless of withering or dryness, it is to let the excess water in the tea leave obediently and evaporate into the air.

At the same time, a large amount of natural substances are retained.

Is it possible to compare the officials of green tea and white tea. Is it very different?

Therefore, even if they are famous for "fresh", they cannot be confused.

The relationship between the two is like two parallel lines, even if they go far, they are parallel.

The only thing that can be associated between the two may be the tea called "Anji White Tea".

When you first hear this name, most people will feel that it is white tea.

No, the name is clearly written in the name, it is the fact that it is on the board.

But in fact, the real body of Anji white tea is green tea, from Anji, Zhejiang.

From crafts to aroma, to nutritional value, shelf life, etc., it has obvious characteristics of green tea.

After consulting the relevant information, the reason why it is called "white tea" is related to tree species.

Anji White Tea is picked from a tea tree called Baiye No. 1, which is a natural mutant with temperature sensitivity.

Simply put, it is like an albinism.

In the low temperature in early spring, chlorophyll drops rapidly, and the strange scene of buds and leaves will be shown.

Therefore, the picked tea is processed by the green tea process, which is vividly called "white tea".

Maybe because of this inextricable bond, the green tea and white tea have been inextricably linked, and many tea friends cannot distinguish between the two.

Next, we distinguish green tea and white tea from three aspects.

"3"

Different one: aroma, taste

In green tea, it has a representative aroma, including bean flavor, chestnut fragrance, fire fragrance, orchid fragrance, fragrant fragrance, grass aroma and so on.

It is not difficult to find that some of the aroma born after the tea was killed at high temperature.

Of course, there are some fragrances of plants.

The soup of green tea, fresh, pure, tea fragrance.

After killing the green, polyphenols stopped oxidation and kept a large amount in the original state.

Therefore, when drinking green tea, you can clearly feel the style of the growing grass and trees in spring.

The aroma of white tea has fragrant, flower fragrance, herbal medicine, rice leaves, lotus leaf fragrance, jujube fragrance ...

The most fascinating is the rich and layered floral fragrance.

When drinking new tea white peony, you can smell the aroma of water and stone banyan, bitter flowers, night incense, Guangyullan, Qili Xiang, and Yelaixiang.

In the new tea white silver needle, Qingying's delicious fragrance and elegant flower fragrance have a flavor.

Tang Shuichunhe has a sense of junction like jelly and a thick sense of slippery.

Compared with green tea, it is more content and full of slurry.

It seems that every bite of tea soup has a weight in the mouth, and I unconsciously want to use my tongue to sip it, and I can't bear to swallow jujube.

This is the special feature of white tea, simple, but not simple.

Different two: suitable drinking period

Generally speaking, the shelf life of green tea is only about 1 year.

In the final analysis, it is still because of craftsmanship.

As a non -fermented tea, as long as the temperature and humidity are slightly higher, when you touch the air, when you encounter light, green tea will have an oxidation reaction.

Specifically reflected that the color becomes yellow, the aroma gradually disappears, and the freshness becomes fade.

Especially in the summer, it is difficult for green tea to spend smoothly without deliberate protection.

In order to drink it at the best stage, it is recommended that everyone drink as soon as possible during the shelf life.

After all, isn't it a "fresh" word when drinking green tea? Instead of looking at white tea, the craftsmanship is simple and has the value of long -term preservation.

Over the years, the saying of "one year tea, three -year medicine, seven years of treasure" has been circulating in the tea circle, which refers to white tea.

The beauty of old white tea, based on good production areas, good craftsmanship, good storage.

In the dark carton, the enzymes inside the tea are slowly exchanged with oxygen, and the new synthesis is used in an orderly manner.

The ingredients of beneficial body such as flavonoids were born in this process.

But not all tea can be saved as old tea.

Old white tea must be a rare baby born in a long years.

At different stages, white tea has different styles, new tea, Chenchachun, old tea alcohol, and constantly enhance the taste.

Different three: Save method

Green tea is not fermented tea, so in storage, it is best to rely on the refrigerator for low temperature refrigeration.

As mentioned earlier, the shelf life of green tea is relatively short. The green tea that year is best to drink.

If you drink tea slowly, you are worried about the deterioration of green tea, and you lose a lot of umami.

Then, you can choose to exist in the refrigerator.

With the low temperature of the refrigerator, green tea will not be quickly oxidized.

In addition, because various foods are stored in the refrigerator, it will inevitably produce odor.

Therefore, before being stored in the refrigerator, it must be sealed to prevent the taste.

Friends who like to drink green tea, if you have the conditions, you can prepare a small freezer. After setting the temperature, you can exist in the green tea, once and for all.

White tea does not need to be refrigerated, and it can be stored at room temperature.

The low -temperature and humid environment in the refrigerator will inhibit the good aging of white tea, and even leads to its moisture deterioration.

Therefore, in the process of saving white tea, just pay attention to sealing, drying, avoiding light, cooling, and no odor.

Find a qualified room, use a three -layer white tea with a three -layer packaging, and leave the wall away from the wall.

On weekdays, to disturb less.

White tea you want to drink in daily life can be packed in early to avoid frequent boxing.

Under such careful care, white tea can become more and more fragrant, and have the opportunity to become high -quality old white tea.

"6"

White tea and green tea are two very different tea.

Maybe at a certain moment, when you drink green tea, you feel the fresh tea.

Or, when I drink white tea, I feel the freshness of white tea.

This is not difficult to understand. Drinking it really has similarities.

Especially for newcomers, it is easy to confuse and think they are the same tea.

But in fact, after understanding, there are many differences in green tea and white tea.

If you can't recognize it, you can try more comparisons.

Drinking too much, understanding is naturally deeper.

I also hope that tea friends can find their favorite tea and drink good tea smoothly.

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