Tea is a healthy drink, of which black tea is the healthiest, it can provide the body with the nutrients it needs. We know that the taste of black tea is very mellow, no astringent taste, mainly the grade of tea is relatively good, now understand a graded tea, that is, British red number nine. So the editor mainly introduces the British Red No. 9?
Tracing back to Yingjiu, Yinghong No. 9 is a single plant selected from the introduction of Yunnan big-leaf group in 1961, after more than 30 years of systematic selection, regional trial demonstration and cultivation of early buds and abundant yield, high quality, high efficiency, wide adaptability, asexual multi-leaf tea plant varieties, with the following characteristics:
1. Early budding tree with large leaf seeds with strong apical advantage.
2. High yield, more than 188 kg per mu.
3. Suitable for a variety of famous tea, excellent quality. Buds and leaves are rich in biochemical substances, including tea polyphenols 34.17%, catechins 152.13mg/g, amino acids 2.06%, caffeine 4.35%, water extract 41.25%.
4. Wide adaptability and cold resistance. Resistant to fertilizer and high yield.
5. The aroma substance in the fresh leaves of Yinghong No. 9, the most content in the component is linalool and its oxide, and its terpene index value is as high as 0.938.
The efficacy of the British Red Nine
First, refresh and exhaust. Through medical experiments, it has been found that caffeine in black tea stimulates the cerebral cortex to stimulate the nerve center, promote refreshment, thinking concentration, and then make the thinking response more acute and memory enhanced; It also has a stimulating effect on the vascular system and heart, strengthens the heartbeat, thereby speeding up blood circulation to facilitate metabolism, while promoting sweating and diuresis, thereby accelerating the excretion of lactic acid (a substance that makes muscles feel tired) and other old waste substances in the body to eliminate fatigue.
Second, Shengjin clear heat. Drinking black tea in summer can quench thirst and relieve heat, because the polyphenols, sugars, amino acids, pectin, etc. in tea have a chemical reaction with saliva and stimulate saliva secretion, resulting in the mouth feeling moisturized and cool; At the same time, caffeine controls the body temperature center of the hypothalamus, regulates body temperature, and also stimulates the kidneys to promote the excretion of heat and dirt, maintaining physiological balance in the body.
3. Anti-oxidation. The antioxidants contained in Yingde black tea help fight aging. The process of human metabolism, if peroxidized, produces a large number of free radicals, which are easy to age and can also cause cell injury. SOD (superoxide disproportionation) is a free radical scavenger that can effectively remove excess free radicals and prevent free radical damage to the human body. The catechins in Yingde black tea can significantly increase the activity of SOD and scavenge free radicals.
Bag storage method
Preserving tea in plastic bags is currently one of the easiest and most economical ways to store tea at home. When choosing plastic bags for household tea storage, first of all, it must be a packaging bag suitable for food, and non-food bags cannot be used; Secondly, the bag material should be selected with high density, that is, the selection of low-pressure materials is better than high-pressure; Third, the bag should have a certain strength, thicker is better; Fourth, the material itself should not have holes and odors.
Ancient proverb 丨How to understand Phoenix Dan Cong tea
2022-09-06 13:54·Ancient proverb tea warehouse
Phoenix single fir belongs to the oolong tea category. It is mainly produced in Fenghuangshan, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. The area is bordered by the East China Sea, the climate is warm and humid, the rain is sufficient, tea plants are grown in the mountainous area above 1000 meters above sea level, clouds and fog all year round, humid air, large temperature difference between day and night, the average annual temperature is about 20 °C, the annual precipitation is about 1800 mm, the soil is fertile and deep, rich in organic matter and a variety of trace elements, which is conducive to the development of tea plants and the formation of tea polyphenols and aromatic substances. Phoenix mountain tea farmers, rich in selection and planting experience, there are still more than 3,500 ancient tea trees, all more than 100 years old, peculiar traits, excellent quality, a single plant as tall as a banyan tree, each plant has an annual output of more than 10 kilograms of dry tea.
Dan Cong tea is selected from the Phoenix Narcissus group varieties and is cultivated, picked and processed. Due to the difference in aroma and taste of tea, the local custom is to divide Dan Cong tea into yellow branch, zhilan, peach kernel, cinnamon, tongtian and so on according to the aroma type. Therefore, Dan Cong tea implements single harvesting of separate plants, and when the new tea buds germinate to small openings (that is, standing buds appear), that is, according to the standard of one bud, two and three leaves, they are picked by horseback picking techniques and placed lightly in the tea row. There are regulations that do not pick when there is strong sunlight, do not pick on rainy days, and do not pick fog tea. Generally, it is mined in the afternoon, processed that night, and tea is made at night. After sunburning, drying, touching, killing, kneading, baking and other processes, it took 10 hours to make finished tea. Its shape is thick, uniform and straight, yellow-brown in color, oily and shiny, and has cinnabar red spots; The brewing fragrance is long-lasting, with a unique natural orchid fragrance, rich and fresh taste, moisturizing the throat and sweet; The soup color is clear and yellow bright, the bottom edge of the leaf is vermilion, and the leaf belly is yellow and bright, known as "green leaf red border", with a unique mountain charm; In addition, some special mountain farms and tree species of tea green, after a period of carbon fire slow roasting, the taste and aroma are more unique, "mountain charm" is deeper than light fire tea, and the foam resistance is higher.
The authentic production area of Phoenix Dan Cong is mainly on the southeast slope of Phoenix Mountain, known as the "roof of Chaoshan Mountain", and is distributed in the northeastern Chaozhou areas such as Wuxi Mountain, Wushan Mountain, Zhugan Mountain, Daqi Mountain, Wanfeng Mountain, and Shuanggshan Mountain at an altitude of more than 500 meters. The harvesting of Phoenix Dan Cong tea, with the most early maturing white leaf Dan Cong first opened, and mined around the first month of each year (January 25 of the lunar calendar) until around Qingming, which is a kind of high-grade tea of the spring type of Milan, including Lingtou Dan Cong tea, Wudong Milan Xiang Dan Cong, Golden Award Gongfu White Leaf Tea and other varieties. After Mao tea is made, it is refined for another 10 days, that is, it is ready for sale in early April. Around Qingming (April 4), early maturing single bushes began to be picked, including cinnamon-fragrant single bushes, golden magnolia, clam strands, etc. During the peak season of Dan Cong tea harvesting season from Qingming to Gu Yu, most of the old famous cong tea is picked during this time, including Song Chong No. 1, Huang Mast No. 2, Zhilanxiang and various special aroma teas.
Eight insights of the phoenix single fir:
1. The species of tea trees of Feng Huang Dan Cong, according to Mr. Huang Baizi's "Chinese Phoenix Tea", "tea plants can be divided into oolong, red yin, narcissus, yellow tea and color varieties". Therefore, some people think that the phoenix single fir is a daffodil species, which is not accurate. The tree shape of the phoenix tea tree can be divided into three types: trees, small trees, and shrubs.
2. The characteristics of Fenghuang Dan Cong tea are one tree and one fragrance, and the rich and changeable aroma is the biggest feature that distinguishes Fenghuang Dan Fang from other oolong teas. The ten major aroma types of Phoenix Dan Cong tea are now inconclusive, usually referring to honey orchid, yellow gardenia, zhilan, magnolia, osmanthus fragrance, almond fragrance, cinnamon, pomelo flower fragrance, Milan fragrance, ginger mother fragrance, etc.
3. Similar to Pu'er tea's ancient tree tea, Fenghuang Dan Cong also pays attention to ancient tree tea, and the number of ancient trees in Fenghuang Dan Cong is small, according to local government statistics, there are only more than 3,500 ancient tree teas more than two hundred years old, and these ancient trees have been protected and used by the government and tea farmers.
4. Similar to Wuyi rock tea, Feng Huang single bush is also divided into new fir, old fir and mother tree. It is generally believed that the tea made from alpine old fir is better in aroma, taste and charm than that of low-altitude new fir. There has been controversy in academia and manufacturers about how to divide old fir and new fir trees, and there are three popular theories: "Chinese Phoenix Single Cong Tea Atlas" believes that tea plants that are more than 80 years old are old bush trees, and new bush trees below 80 years old; In Wang Weiyi's "Ask the Phoenix Tea", the old fir is defined as a tea tree that is more than 60 years old; Some manufacturers and tea farmers believe that tea trees that are more than 30 years old can be called old firs. Lao Yang's personal drinking experience is that tea made from tea trees that are more than 60 years old has a clear "fir taste" similar to mossy aroma and taste.
5. The traditional Fenghuang Dan Cong tea pays attention to "mountain rhyme" and "honey rhyme". Huang Baizi, the taidou of Phoenix Single Fir Tea, believes: "The so-called 'mountain rhyme' is tea rhyme, that is, the usual 'tea smell', that mountain rhyme can only be ineffable, in other words, 'mountain rhyme' is an indescribable good tea taste." In the Phoenix Tea Area, the tea produced by each mountain, the 'mountain charm' is different, and there are differences in weight, but they are all unique. 'Honey' refers to the fact that the inner substance of the tea leaves contains a natural nectar or fruit fragrance. According to Lao Yang's understanding, the "mountain charm" of Fenghuang Dan Cong is somewhat similar to the "mountain field" talked about by Wuyi rock tea, and the aroma and taste of tea can reflect the characteristics of the natural environment in which tea plants are planted, that is, the "earth fragrance" mentioned in Wuyi rock tea and the characteristics of the mountain head talked about by ancient tree Pu'er tea. "Honey rhyme" is relatively easy to understand, tea aroma and tea soup have honey-like aroma and taste, long charm.
6. Different from other teas, Fenghuang Dan Cong is not expensive for the new, nor precious for the old, but more advocating "every other year's spring", that is, the spring tea of the next year is the best in aroma, taste and charm.
7. Phoenix single conglomerate can be divided into clear fragrance type and strong fragrance type (or mellow fragrance type) according to the production process, the fragrance type has a high aroma and significant fragrance characteristics, but the raw materials of the phoenix single conglomerate of the clear fragrance type are not good, the production process is not in place, it is easy to appear perfume separation, fragrant and odorless; The aroma type (or mellow type) Phoenix Dan Cong mountain rhyme honey taste is more pronounced and the taste is relatively mellow, but the aroma of the strong aroma type of Phoenix Dan Cong is often not as high as that of the clear fragrance type, which is not very popular with new tea lovers who are new to Phoenix Dan Cong tea. Lao Yang recommends that tea lovers who have just started drinking Phoenix Dan Cong start with fragrant tea, slowly contact the fragrant (mellow type) Phoenix Dan Cong, and finally feel the charm of ancient tree Dan Cong.
8. The standard of good tea in Fenghuang Shan Cong should be: the aroma is high and pure, it is a natural fragrance, a pure fragrance, and a pleasant fragrance. The tea soup is bitter and balanced, rich in taste layers, thick and full-bodied, mellow and pleasant, which can reflect the taste characteristics of Phoenix Dan Cong "fragrant, lively and sweet", and the "mountain charm honey taste" is significantly deep. Good tea must not have bad feelings such as bitterness not melting in the mouth, excessive bitterness stimulation, perfume separation, weak taste, and thin soup.
It is worth starting with the British Red No. 9 brand recommendation
The old proverb English red number nine
Linking more than 10,000 mu of ecological tea gardens across the country, with the concept of one leaf of Chinese good tea warming the world, with the purpose of providing consumers with a leaf of Chinese good tea, we adhere to the principle of four noes for tea: one non-source ecology is not selected, two non-origin is not selected, three non-high standards are not selected, four non-good taste is not selected, advocate two cups of tea a day, a cup of milk tea at the price of drinking good tea, born for warming the heart.
Behind a good cup of tea is the persistence and dedication of quality, the cup is authentic, dripping mellow.
