The leaves are jade-white
Yongxin white tea is a kind of mutated tea, because the buds and leaves are densely covered with white leaves, and the leaves are jade white after brewing, the shape is round like Lanhui, the color is emerald green, the white hao is revealed, the fragrance is high and lasting, the taste is fresh, and it is loved by tea lovers. Because plants are affected by photosynthesis, Yongxin white tea grows on the southern slope, has long sunshine hours, green tea, and relatively little amino acid content; Growing on the north slope, the sunshine hours are relatively short, the tea leaves are whiter, the amino acid content is more, and the taste is more fresh.
Yongxin white tea is called white tea, which is actually green tea, and it also uses green tea production technology. Usually the tea picking starts in mid-March every year, and the tea picking cycle is about 30 days, and the latest is the valley rain; When picking, it is generally a bud and a leaf or two leaves at the beginning, the buds and leaves are in flowers, the size is uniform, the tea green picked back should be spread in time, the spreading time is about 3-5 hours, the thickness should be uniform when spreading, not turned, to avoid sunlight, otherwise the leaves will turn red, affecting the tea quality.
Yongxin white tea is rich in nutrients, including the highest amino acid content, with a strong bean fragrance or chicken soup fragrance, and the best Yongxin white tea can also drink the fragrance of orchids.
Three to three do not take
Yongxin white tea is introduced and developed by Yongxin County Henglong Agriculture and Forestry Development Co., Ltd., and Yongxin County Yange Township, Litian Township, Luxi Township, and Sanwan Township have planting bases. The company promotes the planting area to reach more than 3,000 acres through the method of "company + cooperative + farmer (poor households)", and the tea products are mainly white tea and black tea, and the products are sold all over the country, becoming a good industry for farmers to get rid of poverty and become rich. In order to ensure the quality of tea, the company takes advantage of the superior local natural conditions and uses microorganisms and bacteria to ferment in the soil during planting, which can loosen the fertile soil, increase the soil permeability, allow oxygen to reach the roots better, and finally the bacteria become biological fertilizer. Rational use of farmers' self-produced and self-sold rapeseed cake, fully crushed and buried in the soil, turned into organic fertilizer, improve the growth situation and yield. By testing the lack of soil elements, formulating formulas according to local conditions, scientifically and reasonably proportioning, and supplementing trace elements to the soil with organic fertilizer to improve the quality and aroma of tea.
In the eyes of tea farmers, the main factor that determines the quality of white tea is the picking time. The picking time of Yongxin white tea is mainly concentrated in spring, especially around the spring equinox to the valley rain, which lasts about 45 to 50 days. Specifically, the picking of spring white tea begins around the vernal equinox and lasts until the beginning of summer. The white tea in this time period has a fat and strong bud heart, a flexible texture, a full bud heart, a fluffy tea leaf and jade white, a fresh and refreshing tea soup, and the best quality. The Yongxin white tea picking method still retains the traditional freehand picking. Although freehand picking is labor-intensive and low-efficiency, it is finely picked, there are more batches, it is easy to pick according to the standard, and the quality of buds and leaves is good. The specific mining time should be determined according to the tea variety and climatic conditions. Generally speaking, the mining period is when 10-15 standard buds per square meter of tea tree canopy surface can be harvested. When picking tea, it is necessary to achieve "three to three non-picking": first, to see the tea buds, the size is uniform; Second, the force should be light, and the handle should be short; Third, bamboo baskets should be loaded, and bamboo baskets should be stored and transported; Do not pick diseased insect leaves and frostbitten leaves; Do not pick broken leaves and old leaves; Do not pick milk leaves and fish leaves. In this way, you can get high-quality Yongxin white tea fresh leaves.
Yongxin white tea only picks spring tea one season, tea trees after the previous year's autumn and winter recuperation, growth inhibition, in the energy storage stage, coupled with the spring temperature continues to be sluggish, so that the tea tree continues to obtain energy at the same time consumption is very little, so the energy gathered is more and more abundant, so that the nutrients in the body of Yongxin white tea are more abundant, the appearance is presented as the buds are fat and the leaves are strong, the color is jade white, the leaf quality is soft, and the quality is high.
Refrigerate warm
Yongxin white tea has excellent production technology, and the fresh leaves can be directly brewed after being spread, killed, sorted and dried.
1. Spread green: the fresh leaves picked back should be spread in time, the spread time is about 3-5 hours, the thickness should be uniform when spreading, not turned, to avoid sunlight, otherwise the leaves will turn red, affecting the quality of tea.
2. Finishing: Put the tea leaves into an iron pot and stir-fry at a temperature of about 300 °C. The high-temperature killing is mainly to passivate the activity of enzymes in tea leaves and prevent the appearance of red stems and black stems. The test of the finale is the mastery of the heat, and when you hear the sound of sand grains like fried sesame seeds, the finale is just right.
3. Rationalization: After the completion is the rationalization, which used to be completed by hand, but now the function of the rationale has been integrated into the finishing mechanism. Sorting is the process of straightening the tea leaves through the iron pot when the tea leaves are still soft. After this treatment, after the tea leaves are dried, the strip shape of the dried tea strips will be particularly beautiful, and the strip shape can be more uniform.
4. Drying: Drying is the last process, which is carried out twice. After the first drying, it should be cooled and cooled, and the second drying should be carried out after about 15 minutes, which can not only effectively reduce the moisture of the tea, but also help to increase the aroma of the tea. After drying, it is dry tea and can be brewed directly.
Yongxin white tea should be warmed and refrigerated in order to drink fresh fragrance and health. To drink the ultimate taste of Yongxin white tea, in addition to choosing the right tea, you must also know the correct brewing method and storage method. First of all, the pure water of 80 °C-85 °C is poured into the glass, so that the tea leaves are soaked and stretched, and the fragrance of the water is smelled, and then the water is continued to be injected, and the time of soaking the tea leaves is about 20 seconds, and the tea soup can be produced. The swirl water injection method can be adopted, which is conducive to appreciating the posture of Yongxin white tea rotating up and down in the cup, and the ornamental is excellent. Yongxin white tea should not be stored for a long time, when stored for a short time, pay attention to sealing and moisture-proof, avoid light and odor, usually can be stored in the refrigerator, do not put it together with smelly things, and the temperature is appropriate at 0~°C. It can be stored for up to 18 months in frozen storage.
Lipid-lowering and weight loss
As the saying goes, "Ming Qian spring tea is as expensive as oil", but in fact, the price of really good tea is thousands of times higher than the price of oil! White tea is a tea with high nutritional value and a variety of functions, it not only has rich antioxidant capacity and immune enhancement effect, but also can reduce blood lipids and blood sugar, and has the effect of beauty and beauty.
1. Rich in vitamins
Yongxin white tea is rich in a variety of nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, etc., among which the vitamin content is the richest. Because the properties of vitamins are extremely unstable, they are especially sensitive to temperature changes, such as vitamin C, which will decompose once the temperature changes. Yongxin white tea benefits from an excellent growth environment, low ambient temperature and long growth cycle, which can effectively protect the vitamin performance, so as to ensure the highest vitamin content in Yongxin white tea.
2. High amino acid content
There are three main substances that determine the taste of tea: amino acids, tea polyphenols, and caffeine. The freshness of tea is mainly due to amino acids, and amino acids also have the function of harmonizing the astringency of tea polyphenols and the bitterness of caffeine, and improve the taste of tea soup as a whole. Its content in tea is one of the main criteria for judging the grade of tea. Because amino acids are not exposed to light and high temperature, but most of Yongxin belongs to mountainous areas, the temperature is low in spring, and the temperature difference between morning and evening and day and night is large, and the decomposition rate of amino acids is slow, which makes the amino acids of spring tea easy to accumulate. In addition, Yongxin white tea is only picked in spring, so it can ensure that its amino acid content is extremely rich.
3. Enhance immunity
Studies have found that white tea contains a natural antioxidant called "catechin." Catechin is a polyphenol, is the main component of tea polyphenols, it is not only the main source of tea astringency, but also the main substance of tea antioxidant activity, is one of the most important flavor substances of tea. Science has shown that catechins are a natural antioxidant that can not only protect cells from mutations and prevent cancer and other malignant diseases, but also antioxidant, improve muscle activity and endurance, delay skin aging and pigmentation, prevent aging and improve immunity.

Tea polyphenols are natural "beauty agents" and "sunscreens", with disinfection and sterilization functions, often wash your face with tea, can repair burned and aging skin, make the skin smooth and healthy. Tea alkaloids are mainly composed of caffeine, theobromine and theophylline, caffeine is the main component of tea alkaloids, which has the function of stimulating the central nervous system and relaxing smooth muscle, which can effectively improve human body function and motor function, eliminate excess fat, promote blood circulation, reduce blood blockage, better prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and play a role in reducing lipids and losing weight.
Flowers are "alive" because of fragrance, and tea is "expensive" because of fragrance. The aroma of Yongxin white tea is unique, which can be described as "four fragrances": one is milli fragrance, Yongxin white tea tea tea buds and young leaves are densely covered with white hao, and the buds and leaves of Baihao are selected when picking, and the tea is retained as much as possible during production. The second is fragrance, which is the purest aroma of white tea, just like the taste of grass juice in the field in early spring, fresh and natural, no need to deliberately smell it, a breath and a breath, the natural aroma comes to the face; The third is tender fragrance, the more tender the fresh leaves, the more obvious the aroma, the raw materials for making Yongxin white tea are the new shoots of the young buds and young leaves before the Ming Dynasty, fresh and soft, leaning over and sniffing, like the tip of the broken bamboo shoots, fresh and tender; The fourth is floral fragrance, floral fragrance is a rare fragrance type in white tea, such as jasmine fragrance, rose fragrance, osmanthus fragrance, orchid fragrance, etc., orchid fragrance is particularly rare, almost synonymous with high-grade white tea.
