A good year is the time when the orange, yellow, orange and green.
In this refreshing autumn, we are drinking a cup of shoumei.
On the table are bright yellow persimmons, yellow-green oranges, and hanging dried apricots from Xinjiang.
Outside the window, it is a green that can be seen.
Lush, lush, leafy, deep.
Tree after tree of goose yellow osmanthus flowers bloom in the window.
Ten years later, this osmanthus tree has finally grown on my windowsill.
In this autumn day when the osmanthus blossoms are in full bloom, you can smell a hint of sweet fragrance from the window slit, which is slowly drifting out from the string of small flower buds, sweet and fragrant.
Originally, I thought that the flowering period of osmanthus had passed.
Unexpectedly, in this suddenly cold and hot late autumn, they actually bloomed again with fine and dense small yellow flowers.
It can be seen that autumn is not that the gas number has dissipated.
Autumn, nor is life at its end.
Just like in white tea, silver needles, peonies, and shoumei, their development is gradual, does not mean that in the season of silver needles, nutrients are abundant, and when it comes to shoumei, nutrients are thin.
Silver needles have silver needles are good, and shoumei has the magic of shoumei.
Their endoplasmic composition is certainly different, but each has its own benefits.

Every spring, everything comes to a standstill.
On the white tea tree, silver needles first developed out, and small bud heads, fat and fat, grew vigorously.
The body was glowing green, and the skin was covered with pekoe—thick, dense, and light, like a goose down dress, flexible and warm.
Silver needles, standing freely and majestically on the branches of white tea trees in early spring, stand proudly in the cold wind.
In such a cold spring, the white tea trees contributed the first wave of energy of the year.
By the time the white peony develops, the tea plant is in adulthood.
If the white silver needle is puberty, then the white peony is the moment of ripening - when the peach is ripe, how delicious and seductive.
So the white peony has the appearance of buds and leaves, the leaves are narrow and stretched, and the buds are long and full.
The leaves and thin stems combine to form the unique fragrance of flowers, the fresh and bright floral fragrance, and the floral fragrance of the plum of the three springs in the white peony tea soup.
By the time the white peony flower season was over ten days after the Qingming Dynasty, when Chun Shoumei popped his head out, he had already exhausted the dust and fragrant flowers, and the hundred flowers had already bloomed to the grass.
At this time, the white tea tree has gone through the germination period of silver needles and the growth period of peonies, and has gradually entered a good state and entered the mature stage.
It's the time to be rich.
This is the spring tea season, the hottest period of time, but also the fastest temperature climbing period of time, during this time, the tea plant is spawned by the temperature, by the high temperature of the weather, training a long-distance running of good physical strength and good endurance.
In the warmth of the warm sun, the shoumei grow rapidly, and the leaves stretch out in less than two days.
A tree full of young leaves, as if wearing an emerald green canopy.
Spring is deep, like the sea.

Some tea friends said that silver needles were first developed, and then peony was developed, and by the time of Shoumei, the white tea tree had run out of strength, and Shoumei had no nutrition.
That's a big fallacy.
The basis of this theory is that the nutrients of the white tea tree are a constant quantity, and most of them are given to silver needles, and a small part is given to peonies, and when it comes to Shoumei, there is not much to divide.
Suppose, a white tea tree has 100 points of nutrients, first 50 points to the silver needle, then 35 points to the peony, and finally only 15 points to Shoumei.
If you calculate it this way, it is true that Shoumei gets too little endoplasm.
Therefore, the holders of this view will think that Shoumei is only a few leaves, and there is no nutrition.
This is not the case.
The endoplasm of the white tea tree is not constant, it does not first have a fixed amount, and then slowly decrease.
In terms of the spring tea season, the endoplasm of the tea plant is constantly growing and releasing.
It is a process of energy consumption and replenishment.
During the day, when it grows and develops, the energy of the white tea tree is consumed, but it is not that after it is consumed, the endoplasm is completely gone.
It is consuming and accumulating.
During the day, it photosynthetically synthesizes organic matter. At night, respiration converts organic matter into energy, which is stored inside leaf cells.
By the next day, this energy synthesized at night can supply the tea plants with the needs of new shoots and leaves.
In the cells of the tea plant, the loss and accumulation of energy is in a non-stop cycle, like a perpetual motion machine, which will not stop.
At the time of the silver needle, it develops, it also accumulates. These endoplasms are not consumed and will not grow, so there is no silver needle and peony that consume most of the energy, and there is no nutrition in Shoumei.
Don't forget, the tea tree is not a kettle, it is a well.
The kettle is used to store water, and the water in it is gone when it is finished. Wells, which are not stopped to draw groundwater, have been drilled today, and will flood up again tomorrow.

In fact, Shoumei is also extremely nutritious.
Silver needles have the nutritional composition of silver needles, peonies have their own nutrient composition, and Shoumei also has its own nutritional ratio.
For example, Sangao's favorite flavonoids are generated in large quantities in Shoumei.
In particular, it is three years, five years, seven years and ten years of old Shou Mei.
There is a lot of theanine in the silver needle, and the amount of tea polyphenols in Shoumei will be higher, and the content of anthocyanins in Qiu Shoumei, because of the climate, is extremely high.
Do you know anthocyanins?
There are some girls who love beauty, who are holding anthocyanin capsules every day and eating them, just to be fine to no trace, white to glow.
There are also mothers, in order to prevent their children's myopia, they have looked for anthocyanins to protect their eyes.
。。。。。
Village Gu Chen never liked to talk about efficacy.
This time, an exception was made.
Just for "Shoumei no nutrition", this statement, too wrong.
《5》
Silver needles, peonies, and shoumei.
The three musketeers in white tea, each with its own style, each with its own beauty.
Tea trees are not a warehouse for storing nutrients, and they will be less when they run out.
It is an energy perpetual motion machine.
It is constantly consuming energy, and it is not stopping to replenish energy.
It has roots and is deeply planted in the soil just to absorb nutrients.
It was not a specimen, air-dried, and stood there, looking down at the heavens.
It is alive and has a personality.
It only provides us with a cup of fresh and mellow tea soup.
And, never ask for anything in return.
We should write a poem "To the Tea Tree" and thank it deeply.
