At present, the big red robe can be divided into three types.
One, the mother tree big red robe,The six protected plants in Wuyi Mountain have been banned from commercial harvesting since 2006. The only dozens of grams of tea left in the world are already national treasure-level "cultural relics", which no longer means anything to ordinary tea drinkers.
Second, the purebred big red robe,It is also called Qidan, which is a variety that is asexually propagated from the second plant of the mother tree Dahongpao. The purebred big red robe doesn't seem to represent the big red robe. You must know that the historical Da Hong Pao was mixed with six plants, and these six varieties are not the same, and the differences are obvious. Qidan is only the second strain alone, and it can't present the flavor of Da Hong Pao.
Three, mix with the big red robe,It is also called the commodity Da Hong Pao, and it has nothing to do with Da Hong Pao, it is made of various varieties of rock tea in Wuyi Mountain, in order to model the flavor of Zhengda Red Pao. This is also the bulk of the market now. Each family has its own formula, and each family has its own preferences.
You must know that in the ** period, the big red robe was extremely scarce and precious, and a few taels were made every year, mainly for worshipping the gods in the temple, and there were very few people who could drink it. What's more, now, how many people can taste the true taste of the big red robe? Therefore, the blended red robe can be imagined, and it can only be regarded as a tribute to the real red robe.
So, based on the above, in terms of market and drinking, is Da Hong Pao considered a nominal tea? What do you think?
