Angie white tea

Note that Anji white tea is not white tea, but green tea, which belongs to one of the six major tea categories in China, and is a rising star of Zhejiang famous tea, named because its processing raw materials are harvested from a tea tree with white leaves. The Anji white tea tree is a variant of the tea plant and is extremely rare. The young leaves emitted in the spring are pure white, which become white and green flowers and leaves when they are "old in spring", and are fully green until summer.

The white tea ancestor of Anji White Tea is the only ancient tea tree left, which is said to be thousands of years old. After arriving in Anji, go to Daxi Village in Tianhuangping Town, and then cross a small bridge in the village, drive about ten minutes to jiulongxia scenic spot, and after parking, you must walk about 30 minutes to the mountain road in anji to get to anji "white tea ancestor".

Anji first found dozens of wild white tea trees in Ma Linggang, Xiaofeng Town, in 1930, "the young leaves drawn from the branches are as white as jade, roasted and yellowish, and produced by the local Golden Light Temple" ("County Chronicle"), and then did not know the end.

In 1982, a thousand-year-old white tea tree was found on the 800-meter-high mountain of Hengkengwu in Daxi Village, Tianhuangping Town, with pure white leaves, only the main vein was slightly green, and few seeds were produced. As of now, Anji White Tea Ancestor is the only ancient tree in the world. Bai Chazu is next to a family. It is said that in the past, there was an old couple living together, and the local government gave a certain subsidy to let the family help take care of this ancient tea tree. But then his wife died, and now there is only one grandmother left. This thousand-year-old tree is also protected by a very simple fence.

With the continuous development of the white tea industry in Anji, the popularity of the white tea ancestor is also constantly improving, and more and more tourists will come to the mountain in the future, in order to give the white tea tree a certain protection, there are two puppies waiting day and night. As long as someone approached, the two puppies kept barking. In this way, this ancient tea tree known as a thousand-year-old anji white tea ancestor is taken care of by two puppies!

Anji white tea belongs to the fermented green tea, the taste is light and smooth, and the amino acids contained in it are beneficial to the human body. However, with the fame and prosperity, in order to pursue economies of scale, large-scale expansion of tea gardens outside the core production areas has laid great hidden dangers for the long-term durability of the quality of Anji white tea.

Coupled with the many brands in the market, consumers who could not distinguish between authenticity and falsity were even more confused, and it was difficult to determine the excellent quality of Anji white tea.

China's top tea rankings

Located in the core production area of Hengkengwu in Daxi Village, Tianhuangping Town, the production of white tea is very small, the core production area is located in the alpine mountain area, there is no so-called Mingqian tea, according to local tea farmers, the core production area of Anji white tea is generally mined tea 15-20 days after the Qingming Festival, and its products do not reach the market circulation at all.

Therefore, the Anji white tea circulating in the online and offline markets at all levels is basically not produced from the core production area of the high mountain, but from the large-scale tea gardens with wide distribution. Therefore, it is not a simple task to buy really high-quality Anji white tea today.

In particular, Huangshan Maofeng, Taiping Monkey Kui, and Liu An Gua Piece are tied for the three strong, and it is difficult to say who is better than whom. If you are reluctant to choose one of them as a representative of Anhui, I personally recommend taiping monkey Kui.

When "picking the tip", the bud leaves are too large, too small, thin, curved, pale, purple buds, clipped leaves, diseased and insect leaves do not (that is, "eight do not"). It should be noted that due to the low temperature in the Huangshan Mountains and the high altitude factors, taiping monkey kui does not have the saying of Mingqian tea, but there may be a small amount of head picking after the Qingming And before the valley rain.

Taiping Monkey Kui is one of the few tea leaves that is beautiful for the big, this big generally refers to the standard between 5-7cm, it is the bell tower strange in the tea, the shape is rough, but the inner quality is excellent. The leaf color is pale green and uniform, the leaf vein green is hidden red, commonly known as "red silk thread"; brewing in a cup, the buds and leaves are slowly unfolded, relaxed into flowers, or suspended or heavy, but its tea soup color, just clear, and there is no particularly bright emerald green color; the taste is fragrant, very persistent, can not withstand several brewing, there is a "head bubble fragrance high, two bubbles strong, three bubbles four bubbles of fragrance still exists" mood.
