Tea, although small, contains profound knowledge. For friends who love the tea ceremony or have the pursuit of tea tasting, they must be familiar with the labels of "special first-class" and "special second-class". So, what exactly do they mean? Let's unravel them together.
First of all, we have to understand that the grade of tea is divided according to its quality and characteristics. In China, tea is mainly divided into six grades, from high to low: special grade, first grade, second grade, ** fourth grade and fifth grade. The "special first" and "special second" are different subdivisions of the special grade.
So, what exactly is the difference between the super-level and the super-second? In short, the extra first grade tea is the "best" in tea, and its quality and taste surpass the special second grade. The characteristics of the extra first grade tea are as follows:
1.The color of the tea leaves is bright, and the leaves are highly complete;
2.The aroma is rich and the taste is mellow;
3.The aftertaste is sweet and strong, and the finish is long.
Although the quality and taste of the special grade tea are slightly inferior to the top grade, it is still a superior product. Its features are as follows:
1.The color of the tea leaves is brighter, and the leaves are more complete;
2.The aroma is rich and the taste is mellow;
3.The sweet aftertaste is strong and the aftertaste is longer.
Of course, the quality and taste of tea will also be affected by various factors such as the production area, picking time, and production process. Therefore, even if it is the same grade of tea, there may be certain differences in its quality and taste.
Overall, knowing the grade of tea helps us better taste and appreciate a good cup of tea. The next time you taste tea, pay more attention to the grade mark on the label and see how much difference you can taste.
