Flavor lasts forever
Qizi cake tea is a "living organism", and its main feature is the continuous "post-fermentation effect" (or post-ripening effect and aging effect) after the tea body is completed.
With the extension of time, its flavor conversion becomes more stable and introverted, and the flavor of different aged tea bodies is not the same, which is also a tea tasting, and the tea collectors are involved in the "production and completion of tea leaves" to some extent.
Long-term storage
In fact, the final completion of a cake of seven-son cake tea may last for tens or nearly a hundred years, because from the time the tea leaves away from the tree to the hot water rushes into the pot, it is in the process of transformation all the time.
Therefore, Qizi Cake Tea can be aged for a long time, and its quality and value will rise by one grade every additional year. Over time, an ordinary Seven Sons Cake will also go from ordinary to excellent.
