In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, health preservation has begun to be paid attention to by more and more people, tea as a traditional health drink, many teas have diuretic, antioxidant, refreshing, digestion, lipid and blood pressure lowering effects.
Because of this, drinking tea has become one of the daily health preservation methods of everyone, and in order to cater to the needs of people's health, tea merchants have also discovered a variety of processed teas in addition to traditional tea.
What are crushed silver and small green mandarins?
Crushed silver and small green mandarin are both processed on the basis of Pu'er tea, which belongs to a special type of Pu'er tea.
First of all, let's introduce the broken silver, it belongs to the ripe Pu'er tea, sometimes called tea fossils, the broken silver was first because of the process of processing and fermentation of Pu'er ripe tea, because in the process of Wudui, some Pu'er tea is glued together for various reasons and finally formed a tea block, after the fermentation of Pu'er tea, these unbreakable tea pieces are called old tea heads, and broken silver is cut from these old tea heads.
Later, because of the fire of Pu'er tea, the demand for broken silver will go up, and there will be people who specialize in the production of broken silver, but Xiaobian has not found the exact modern broken silver production process after many verifications, and there are three main mainstream at present: the first kind of broken silver is directly cut with the old tea head, the second kind relies on the old tea head to cut, and then uses the machine to press and shape, and the last one is technology and hard work.
Let's talk about small green mandarins.
We have also introduced the small green mandarin before, and the small green mandarin is actually the mandarin pu tea (Note; Here, there is no distinction between the grades of tangerine peel), which belongs to the processing of tea, mainly produced in Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, that is, the filming location of the TV series Hurricane, the most famous local is tangerine peel, which is one of the traditional Chinese teas and one of the traditional characteristic products of Guangdong Xinhui.
As a combination of Pu'er tea and tangerine peel, the processing method of small green mandarin is actually quite simple, choose the right Xinhui citrus fruit, remove the pulp and add Pu'er tea, after drying and drying and other processes, and finally form a small green mandarin, some small green mandarin will have a layer of hoarfrost on the surface, and some tea friends will think that the tea is moldy for the first time, in fact, it is related to the processing technology, so I will not repeat it here.
Can you still drink green mandarin oranges and broken silver?
First of all, let's talk about broken silver, in the past, old tea heads were often used as tea fertilizer or directly discarded, which can also be seen how good these tea leaves are.
Of course, although the quality of the broken silver is poor, but it is used to drink, in fact, I don't feel that the problem is big, but the problem is that Pu'er tea is on fire because of hype, and some smart Pu'er businessmen began to promote the old tea head as a boutique retained in the production process of Pu'er tea, and it has been sought after by many tea lovers.
As mentioned above, there are three processing methods for broken silver on the market today, and the first two are actually acceptable. But the problem comes again to the traditional way of production of old tea, the output is small at the same time, the production is also very troublesome, so some people began to add technology and hard work in the process of processing, using gelatin to make broken silver.
A lot of broken silver has a glutinous rice fragrance, that is because early tea farmers add a plant called glutinous rice fragrant leaves, but now glutinous rice fragrant leaves have become glutinous rice flavor.
In fact, careful netizens can also analyze it, if the regular production of broken silver, the output is definitely not large, and the quality is not satisfactory, it must be drinkable, but with that effort, is it difficult to buy a normal Pu'er tea to drink?
As for the broken silver made by science and technology, there is no need to drink, in daily life, if the tea friends are full of curiosity is to try the broken silver, then how to distinguish whether it is technology and ruthless work, in fact, it is also very simple, we have introduced how to distinguish the good and bad of tea, which has the fragrance and tea base, the fragrance of any tea (except for the fragrance of duck feces) is that kind of elegant aroma, not very heavy, and it will be stretched out after brewing with water, even if it is the golden needle of Qimen.
It is to let you see at a glance that the bottom of this tea is tea, if the fragrance of the broken silver you buy is very strong, it looks abnormal, and how to brew it is the original appearance, it is recommended that tea friends still taste carefully.
Finally, about whether you can drink broken silver, I personally think that tea lovers should drink less, not to deny the quality of broken silver, because you can't buy authentic and good, healthy, especially on the Internet 9.9 free shipping, more than a dozen yuan, can you really drink?
Spend that money, experiment with your own body, and buy a normal Pu'er tea, can't you also taste it?
Then there is the small green mandarin, in fact, the small green mandarin is a wonderful combination of tea and traditional Chinese medicine, and from a medical point of view, Pu'er and tangerine peel together have a certain effect of regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, clearing heat and relieving hangover, but it can not be excessive, after all, the extreme must be opposed.
Many people may not be suitable for the authentic taste of small green mandarins, but it is certainly no problem to drink, but the bad is bad in the unscrupulous businessmen, many people in order to save costs, he does not use the tangerine peel of Xinhui, but to use the tangerine peel of other places, and the processing technology is not in place, plus the filling is inferior Pu'er tea, and the effect is too exaggerated, etc., under the indiscriminate filling, the reputation of the small green mandarin is naturally damaged.
In short, Xiao Qingkan personally thinks that if you can buy a reliable product, you can still try to taste it.
Returning to the essence of tea is the king
Nowadays, the competition in the tea market is fierce, so many businesses have to do their best to attract the attention of tea friends, we have also written in many articles in the past, in the tea industry has been eating the "old book" situation, it is very important to bring forth the new, but there is no need to sensationalize some inexplicable tea, tea friends in the tea taste, but also to return to the essence of tea, drink is the best, there is no need to pursue novelty excessively, just like the broken silver mentioned above, in essence, it is still Pu'er tea, Buy a normal Pu'er to drink can also get the same feeling, as for the small green mandarin, although there is not much problem in drinking, but buy some tangerine peel yourself, Pu'er mixed and boiled, the effect is not necessarily bad, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, tea is still the best to choose the right one.
