The first snow of Tongmu Pass has arrived, and the snow is falling, and the world is vast.
In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, spring tea is fresher and sweeterHowever, snow means low temperatures, and low temperatures are adversity for tea trees, so why is this a good sign? Adversity protein makes the tea soup more fresh and sweet
Admittedly, low temperatures are adversity. But the proud plum blossoms are fragrant, the frosted cabbage is particularly sweet, and the tea that is cold to the bones is also especially."Clear, fragrant, sweet and mellow
In the case of low-temperature adversity, in order to resist damage, tea plants will produce an anti-stress mechanism, and in this anti-stress response, one of the most significant substances in the tea plant is the "stress protein".
These proteins are stored in the tea plant, where they can be used or metabolized into new shoots when the tea buds germinate in the next year. The black tea made from these new shoots will be characterized by a high content of amino acidsThe typical quality of amino acids is freshness and sweetnessThis is also one of the reasons why Zhengshantang black tea is exceptionally fresh and sweet.
Amino acids are one of the important aromatic substances in tea. Adversity protein brings abundant amino acids, and amino acids are transformed into rich aromatic substances, which make Zhengshantang Jin Jun Mei"Sweet in the water, sweet in the fragrant".important qualities.
The snow is white, and the pests are frozen and do not freeze the tea
It's snowing at this time, just right. The tea tree is still in the dormant period, and the tea leaves have not yet grown buds, so they will not be frostbitten; The tea trees in Zhengshan are low and dense, and their ability to withstand snow is strong enough that they are rarely crushedTherefore, the annual snow has never affected the growth of paulownia tea trees.
The low temperature has become the natural enemy of pests, and there are many natural enemies of tea tree diseases and insects in the Wuyi Mountain Reserve, and now the heavy snow has also come to help, so that the pests have nowhere to hide. Eggs and larvae of pests hide in the soil during the winter and grow as soon as the weather warms up. The snow destroys the breeding ground for pests, and the cold snow water seeps into the soil and acts as a physical pest.
Grow slower, richer the substance
Alpine clouds produce good tea, because of the low temperature environment in the high mountains, the growth cycle of tea trees is slow, the precipitation cycle of the contained substances is long, and the nutrients are more abundant. And this heavy snow and low temperature also had the same effect.
After the low temperature rain and snow, the tea grows slowly, the effective substances accumulate for a longer time, and the content precipitates more, which is beneficial to the improvement of tea quality.
Snow wins Yuquan tea wins Zhi, and snow water moistens the soil the most
Tian Yiyun of the Ming Dynasty analyzed in "Boiling Spring Sketches": "The snow is the cold of heaven and earth." He also quoted the statement in the "Book of Biansheng" that "snow is the essence of the five grains", "it is the spirit of snow". He also quoted the Northern Song Dynasty poet Li Xu's poem "Try Liang Yuanxue and fry Xun Jianxi Spring", thinking that "it is snow and tea is especially suitable for drinking".
If you change it to the words of modern science,Snow water is the best pure soft water found in natureSnow is formed by direct condensation of water vapor, and in the process of violent condensation, it is rarely mixed with other gases, so the structure is compact, the surface tension is large, and the internal pressure and interaction energy of the molecules are also significantly increasedIt is very close to the cell fluid of living organisms, so it is easily absorbed by living organisms.
The benefits of melting snow and seeping into the soil to store the necessary and optimal water for the growth of tea plants are self-evident for the growth of tea in the coming year.
Ling Han has been arrogant for hundreds of years, and he has tempered the dark fragrance for a long time
Since the birth of black tea in Tongmu Temple Bay, Wuyi Mountain, it has a history of 450 years; Since the fifties and sixties, the descendants of the Zhengshan small species have focused on restoring the production of the Zhengshan small species, and the new tea trees are also more than 60 years old. The baptism of wind and snow and the long-term tempering have already enhanced the resistance and resistance of Zhengshan camellia trees. Ling Han lies in the realm, the pride lies in the quality, the realm and the quality are one, and the achievement is excellent.
The birthplace of Zhengshan small species, "the birthplace of Jin Junmei", thousands of miles of ice, wrapped in silver, these two reds are the most vivid. Without a cold bone, how can you get the fragrance of Jun Mei, the wind and snow stick, tempered for a long time, more than 400 years of inheritance, to make the best black tea for the world.
