When it comes to ancient tree tea, a topic that can not be avoided is how many years of tea trees can be regarded as ancient trees, I personally think that there is no way to define this, not to mention that the ancient trees are not very clear to know how many years they are, after all, there is no way to sawing the rings of several years, all of them rely on the oral tradition of the older generation of tea in the tea mountain or the death of the ancient trees nearby, referring to the comparison of a year, and there is no way to get an accurate concept.
When it comes to ancient tree tea, we can roughly divide it into several types: wild ancient tea trees, transitional ancient tea trees, and artificially cultivated ancient tea trees.
As the name suggests, the wild ancient tea tree is a kind of tea tree that has not undergone artificial training, and is born and naturally evolved, and there are very few tea trees at present, so that the tea made by the tea tree has a lighter taste at the beginning of the tea, the bitterness is relatively low, the sweetness is better, and the taste is very moist, but the tea gas is very sufficient.
Artificially cultivated ancient tea tree is a wild ancient tea tree through artificial domestication, cultivation of the formation of varieties, this is also our most common ancient tea tree, the history of artificial cultivation of tea tree is very long, the farthest can be traced back to 3000 years ago, now the ancient tea tree that survives in Lincang Dachao Mountain Xiangzhuqing is about 3200 years old, more than 1,000 years of ancient tea tree stock is very, very small, generally the diameter of the ancient tea tree of the millennium is about 1 meter, the height of the tree reaches more than 9 meters.
Now many people say that judging whether it is an ancient tree tea, that is, the entrance is not bitter or astringent, relatively light, I think this is biased, such as the old Banzhang of Brown Mountain, Lao Man'e, Qianjiazhai and so on, these ancient tree teas are also bitter, can you say that it is not ancient tree tea?
When we drink a tea, we can roughly judge the age of the tea by the following aspects:
First: The tea gas of ancient tree tea is very heavy, especially the older the tea, the heavier the tea gas.
Second: in the same year, the older the tree, the more moist, slippery and viscous the tea soup is;
Third, look at the bottom of the leaves, most of the leaves of ancient tree tea will be thin, the leaf veins are relatively clear and prominent, the toughness is good, the rubbing is not fragile, the pulling is not easy to break, and the serrations of the leaves are relatively sparse.
Actually, we pursue ancient tree tea
It's nothing more than liking its taste, taste, charm, and so on
Just come across the tea you like
Drinking tea is all about comfort and relaxation
Don't fall into those mental things
It's about that feeling of comfort
I hope everyone can find that one you know
It also soothes your tea
