Many people like the old tea head, but the understanding of it is not deep enough, today we will talk to you about the old tea head. The old tea head is also called tea knots, which is a derivative of Pu'er ripe tea in the production process.
Good Pu'er tea, is rich in pectin, that is, when we tear off some tea stems, we find that there are some silks in it, this is some pectin, that in the fermentation process of Wodui, a part of the pectin will be precipitated from the tea leaves, and then flow to the bottom of this pile, condensing a lot of tea leaves into blocks, which has become what we call old tea heads. In other words, the old tea head is essentially the same quality of cooked Pu, but because the previous health situation is not as good as it is now, our early tea head often has some sand, hair and other things, and the previous time is not valuable, many of it, are broken, mixed into the finished tea product, or a fire directly burned.
There is another little story here. It was in Simao that there was such a fermentation master named Li Meiying, when he visited Taiwan, he found that some people sold old tea heads as good things, and then when he came back, he sold all the old tea heads in his warehouse and used these incomes to build a tea factory himself.
Later, the old tea head was also gradually loved. Because it is mainly composed of young buds and young leaves, not only is it worth tasting, but it is also the essence from the material, but the taste thickness and foam resistance will be more or less distinguished from the ripe pu with complete buds and leaves, it is worth mentioning that the old tea head that drinks cooked tea, because the taste is concentrated and strong, can more easily feel the advantages and disadvantages of raw materials and the purity of the process.
