Small canned white tea is loved by many tea lovers.
When a new tea lover wants to test the quality of a certain tea, he may start with a small can of white tea.
After all, if you blindly place a large order without understanding the quality of tea, if the quality of tea is not good, it will be a big loss.
Small cans of white tea, as a stepping stone, are also superb.
Some time ago, a tea friend was very interested in the white silver needle, so he came to ask me, how about the white silver needle?
I replied at that time that the white silver needle was very good, pekoe was abundant, theanine was rich, and the nutrients were very high.
Then the tea friend replied: But this price is too expensive.
belch......
From the words of the tea friend, we can see his yearning for the white silver needle and the caution in the face of new things.
So immediately, it was suggested that if he wanted to try, he could start with a small can of white silver needles.
Small cans of white tea, the starting cost is relatively low, more suitable for the current state of tea friends.
But there are two sides to everything, and small cans of tea have pros and cons.
Although there are many advantages, there are also some disadvantages.
Tea lovers can make a final decision according to their own needs.
《2》
Advantage 1: The starting cost is lower
Small cans of white tea, the number is relatively small.
Due to the small number of servings, the price of each serving will not be very high.
Most often, silver needles like pekoe have 50 grams per can and range from 100 grams.
Small cans of white tea can actually be used as a starting point for early adopters.
To be honest, tea with higher prices such as white silver needles, blindly starting, in the absence of experience, anyone will be a little hesitant.
Lest you suffer losses and be deceived, you will waste your money.
As a result, small cans of white tea appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
From a novice point of view, such canned white tea is indeed a blessing.
After all, just starting to contact white tea, or just starting to contact a tea shop, can not distinguish the quality of tea, as a test, a small amount of purchase is a more secure way.
As a result, the cost of trial and error is reduced.
If you do not drink your favorite taste in a small can of white tea, you can also control the loss within a low range without paying too much tuition.
If you like it, you can develop it for a long time.

Advantage two: convenient to take tea every day
Small cans of white tea, when taking tea, it is easy to open the package.
In general, small cans of tea are made of tinplate cans, and the cans are filled with food-grade plastic bags, and the mouth of the bag is clamped with a sealing clip.
When taking tea in normal times, you only need to open two layers of lids and remove the sealing clip to take the tea.
After the tea is finished, clamp the mouth of the bag, close the lid, and put it back in place.
With a small can of white tea, when you usually want to drink tea, you save a lot of time, do not need to rummage through the box and cabinet, open the box to get tea so hard.
Because the white tea stored in the large box is stored in three layers of packaging (aluminum bags, plastic bags, cartons) to store tea.
Just to open the box, you need to take a blade to cut the transparent glue sealed on the carton, and then you need to untie the hemp rope at the mouth of the plastic bag and the aluminum bag respectively before you can take the tea.
After taking the tea, it is necessary to seal the mouth of the box and the mouth of the bag tightly so that the water molecules will not quietly enter the inside of the tea.
I believe that about taking tea, tea friends who like to store tea must have a deep understanding.
Large boxes of tea are stored, and it is not recommended that everyone frequently open the box to take tea, which is easy to affect the progress of tea aging.
At this time, small cans of white tea are grandly debuted. After drinking a can, I feel like it, I can buy the same white tea back, and then you can buy more.
After that, the tea is filled in a small jar, and after the daily tea leaves are removed, the whole box of tea leaves is sealed and stored properly.
In this way, it is convenient to drink tea every day, and it can better protect large boxes of white tea, killing two birds with one stone.

Advantage three: suitable for year-end gifts
With the Spring Festival approaching, it is common for friends and relatives to give gifts to each other.
As a representative of health, tea is a good choice for New Year goods.
The white tea process is relatively simple, most of the contents are retained in it, theanine is rich, the nutrients are sufficient, and it is good as a souvenir.
If you store a large amount of white tea, it is protected by three layers of packaging to avoid it from being disturbed by the outside world and the quality is declining.
Although the three-layer packaging is not beautiful, it is very practical, and the three-layer protection can give white tea better protection.
However, some tea friends think that the appearance of the three-layer packaging is not exquisite enough, and if it is given as a gift, it is not good to look at.
At this time, the white tea in small cans showed its charm.
It is packaged in a delicate and compact package that is easy to carry.
When I visited relatives and friends, I carried a few cans of white silver needles, and I had all my face.
In addition, boxes of large quantities of white tea are also expensive to start.
Sending small cans of white silver needles looks good on the face, and the cost of gifts is also well controlled.
Talking a lot about the advantages of small canned white tea, let's talk about its disadvantages.
《5》
Disadvantage one: small cans of long-term storage of white tea, easy to lose the aroma of tea by moisture.
Small cans, which are more common in the day are tinplate cans.
Tinplate cans can be used as a temporary storage place for white tea, storing tea leaves in it for a short period of time, saving a lot of trouble.
However, in the process of use, the can mouth and plastic bags will be lost and damaged, so that the tea leaves cannot be well protected.
Materials like tinplate cans have weak elasticity, and in the process of long-term use, it is inevitable that they will not be able to close tightly.
In this way, it is equivalent to giving the water vapor in the air a convenient door.
At the opening of the plastic bag, because the sealing clip is clamped for a long time, there will also be partial damage, so that the tea fragrance will drift out.
Therefore, if you use a tin can as a long-term storage of white tea, it is difficult to give good protection to the tea leaves.
If the time is long, white tea is easy to run out of gas, and the rich tea aroma will be greatly depleted, becoming less layered and dull.
Therefore, for the sake of white tea, long-term storage of tea or give it to three layers of packaging.
Let the aluminum bags, plastic bags, and cartons give white tea a better guardianship.
A small amount of tea in tinplate cans, which can be drunk in a short period of time (1-3 months), is the best recipe.

Disadvantage two: small cans of white tea can not be team aged
Small cans of white tea, the number is not much, can not achieve the effect of team aging.
The so-called team aging refers to storing a large amount of white tea together, so that the tea leaves can absorb the tea aroma from each other and age it to produce better results.
Like a small can of white tea, the shape of a single shadow, the effect of aging is definitely not as good as the large amount of white tea stored.
As we all know, many people are powerful.
In fact, this principle is also very applicable to tea storage.
If you are a Tibetan tea lover, like to collect white tea, like the sense of accomplishment of storing a new white tea into an old white tea, I personally recommend storing 4 or 5 pounds of the same tea leaves together.
After that, it only needs to be checked regularly, and after many years, the effect of aging in large quantities of white tea is even better.
Such an outstanding aging effect is a goal that small cans of white tea cannot accomplish.
《7》
Existence is reasonable.
Everything has a meaning of existence.
In the choice of what packaging of white tea, the final decision is still in the hands of tea friends.
Everyone can decide their own choice according to their own needs.
I am born to be useful.
Small canned white tea, convenient and small, easy to take tea, as a souvenir is a good choice.
If you want to try a white tea that you have always wanted to buy, but are hesitant because of price or other uncertainties, you can choose a small can of tea to try.
However, if you want to store white tea for a long time, it is not recommended to choose white tea in small cans.
Choose a white tea you like, buy it in large quantities and store it properly.
In this way, saving good tea yourself is just around the corner.
