What is the single plant of Pu'er tea?What is a single plant?
As the name suggests, a single plant is a "single plant tea", strictly speaking, it is the tea green that comes out of the oldest tree or several trees in a tea garden, and the tea leaves made by picking it separately are called mother tree single plant tea, referred to as single plant.
Not just a single tea tree can make a single tea. Qualified enough to make a single plant of tea, must be old enough, the tree is large enough, generally at least 500 years old, generally a large as the primeval forest of the ancient tea garden, can be selected as a single tree on a few trees. On the contrary, the tea trees with young age do not have enough tea taste, and the amount of tea leaves is also insufficient.
However, the amount of tea picked from a single tree is small, so it is broadly defined to refer to Pu-erh tea made from the same tree or the same taller age of Pu-erh tea trees on the same field. Generally speaking, only the first spring tea is picked for a single plant, and the production process has high requirements for tea picking, drying tea, and pressing tea.
Although the quantity is small, the quality is guaranteed, and the ** is relatively high. The so-called scarcity is expensive, and it is precisely because of scarcity that "single plant" has become the sought after object of some Pu'er enthusiasts and people who pursue high quality. Therefore, the ** of a single plant is also in the range of several thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands of catties.
At the same time, because the single-plant tea is good and can be sold for the best price, although the single-plant tea on the market is the oldest, it will increase the yield by relaxing the picking batch. In other words, this type of single tea plant is most likely a mixture of different batches of picking, so be sure to distinguish carefully when buying.
From the concept of "single plant", it is not difficult for us to find this information: it is not difficult to understand from the literal meaning: a single plant, unlike those tea trees with a large number, is unique, which is not only reflected in the tea tree itself, but also in the taste and charm. Secondly, a tea tree is used to make it alone, at least it means that the tree has a certain amount, if you can only pick two or three catties it is impossible to do it alone, then this means that a single tea tree type is not small, which reflects that a single tea tree needs a certain age;In addition, the post-production of single plant tea is also separated, so that there is no mixing in the single plant and its "purity" is guaranteed. Therefore, a single tree can also be understood as a "unique ancient tree material", and its rarity is self-evident.
Of course, a single plant is precious, but the precious one is not necessarily the most suitable. With the increasing maturity of blending technology, in fact, many people are more accustomed to the harmonious taste after blending, and a single plant has always been expensive and difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, so increasingly rational consumers will no longer blindly pursue "single plant".
