Anhua black tea varieties are not much, mainly can be divided into brick tea, black brick tea, flower brick tea, Tianjian tea, Gongjian tea, raw tip tea, qianye tea these several, of which the most popular tea friends is the brick tea, go to the major e-commerce platforms to see, are the sales of brick tea far ahead.
And when it comes to black tea, everyone's first reaction is that the longer black tea lasts (within 15 years), the higher the price, the better the taste. So is this statement correct? I think this sentence lacks a premise, that is, the quality of black tea must be good first, and the storage environment should be qualified, so that black tea is as long as possible. Imagine a tea with poor raw materials, casually placed in a humid environment, the longer it is put in, the worse the quality of the tea. Therefore, when you buy, you must look at it from many aspects, and you can't simply take the year to measure the quality of a black tea.
I drank Anhua black tea, at the beginning mainly Baishaxi, Liyuanlong, Xiangyi, Chinese tea, many tea friends may be a little strange to Liyuanlong, Liyuanlong was founded in 2001, his brand manager is the non-hereditary heir of Anhua black tea, I also chose to start with this at the beginning. Here we mainly introduce the three teas of Li Yuanlong, namely Poria Brick Tea, Hanamaki Tea, and Tianjian Tea.
The three teas of Liyuanlong are Poria Brick, Flower Roll, and Tianjian The three teas of Liyuanlong are Poria Brick, Flower Roll, and Tianjian
Before starting to introduce, let's talk about the brewing method of Anhua black tea, which is superfluous for knowledgeable friends, but it is still necessary for many new friends. Anhua black tea can choose kung fu tea set brewing, choose a tea-to-water ratio suitable for their own taste, boiling water brewing, the first 5 bubbles generally 10 seconds out of the soup, the next few bubbles can extend the time. If you are boiling, use a low heat to cook for 2-3 minutes, do not cook for too long.
First, porcelain brick tea
Anhua black tea is produced in Anhua, Hunan, the main production area of Anhua tea is Liangshan (Yuntai Mountain, Furong Mountain), Liangxi (Gaoma Erxi), Liudong, the production area of this tea is the Liudong production area. The production process of porcelain brick tea is mainly to kill the green > the first kneading of the > pile of > and the re-kneading > the seven-star stove fire roasting, at this time the general price of cheaper brick tea will choose to directly make brick tea. However, generally large brands will choose to age in the warehouse for one year, which will improve the taste of tea a lot. After a year of aging in the scattered warehouse, the bricks are built by hand, and the tea bricks are not too tight in the process of hand building, otherwise it is not conducive to the growth of golden flowers.

The raw material used in this tea is secondary Anhua black hair tea, its brick surface is flat, the content of tea stems is relatively low, and the tea stems in the brick tea are more normal, and in most cases, the appropriate amount of tea stems is deliberately blended to enhance the sweetness of the tea soup. The golden flowers in the middle are more luxuriant, and everyone recommends taking the tea evenly when brewing tea, and only taking the tea leaves on the side will be very inconspicuous.
Brew a cup of tea soup color golden and bright, the unique fungus flower fragrance and pine smoke aroma of porcelain tea will be very good, the taste is sweet, the entrance is smooth and mellow, and the 10 bubbles still have the aroma of tea.

Second, hanamaki tea
Senju Hanamaki Tea requires six experienced masters to work together to make a "Hanamaki Tea" with a length of about 1.5 meters, a diameter of 0.2 meters, and a weight of about 36 kilograms. So why is it called Qianye Tea, isn't Qianye 50 kilograms? That's because the thousand two here refers to the calculation method of the old scale, the old scale 16 two is 1 pound, so the thousand two is exactly more than 36 kilograms. So how do consumers come to buy this tea? Always can not carry the whole back home, this business has long been done, basically will be cut into 500 grams of tea cake to sell, very convenient.

This flower roll tea is made in 17 years, the raw material is Anhua tertiary black hair tea, also for The Anhua Liudong production area. The production process is similar to that of Poria Brick Tea, except that Hanamaki Tea is made by 6 masters after aging in the loose warehouse. There is a technique when brewing flower roll tea, that is, after folding in half, start to take tea from the middle, because the middle part is the best transformed and the tea aroma is the densest. You can smell the rich tea aroma without having to put the tea cake close to your nose, brew a cup and taste it carefully, the entrance is mellow and sweet, it is worth a try.
Thousand two teas
Third, Tianjian tea
Anhua black tea has "three tips", namely Tianjian, Gongjian, Shengjian, listen to the name can probably understand that Tianjian and Gongjian these two kinds of tea are not for ordinary people to drink, in the Qing Dynasty these two kinds of tea as tribute tea exists, only the shengjian is for the general public to drink. However, with the change of the times, whether it is Tianjian or Gongjian has entered the homes of ordinary people, but it is raw tip tea, due to the relatively poor grade of raw materials, it is now produced less, and it is difficult to buy.
This tea is 18 years of production, the material is Anhua first-class black hair tea, a veritable Tianjian tea, better than the front of the brick, flower roll tea materials, while the price is also a lot more expensive, 180 grams of daily price of 188 yuan, generally there will be activities.
When I first drank this tea, the first brew in the mouth felt slightly bitter, I also thought that the quality of this tea was not good, and then I went to see the product introduction, which introduced that the entrance would be slightly bitter, and then it was bitter and sweet, continuous, and finally tasted many times, and it was true. If you buy it and drink it, you can feel this other taste change.

Tianjian tea
Finally, talk about the storage method of black tea, generally speaking, black tea has no shelf life, as long as it is placed in a cool, ventilated, dry, odorless place, but it is difficult for us to meet this standard in our home, just like the south encounters plum rainy days, it will be very humid, improper preservation, tea leaves are easy to mold, encounter this weather, we must pay attention to placed in a high place, try to avoid dampness, so as not to cause unnecessary losses.
