If you want to drink a good flavor of tea, having a good tea is the prerequisite.
First of all, its production area is better.
Only tea green from excellent production areas, from the environment suitable for the accumulation of substances in tea plants, and from the growth of environmental health, the inner nutrients will be full.
There are plenty of flavor substances and aromatic substances to lay a solid foundation for a good taste of soup.
Secondly, the process should be good.
The process in place can retain the nutrients contained in the high-quality tea green in a relatively complete manner, and will not be consumed and lost in large quantities.
Finally, warehousing needs to be in place.
Storage is a key step in controlling the quality of tea, and if this step goes wrong, the tea will gradually become inferior tea.
However, after having good tea, can you definitely drink a good tea soup?
Of course not.
Brewing is the most important step in determining the flavor of a white tea.
If there is a problem in the brewing process, the best quality white tea will be white.
If you want to drink a fragrant and sweet tea soup, in addition to having good tea, you also need to use the appropriate brewing method.
Both are indispensable.

Every tea lover has their own ideas about brewing.
Sometimes I have to sigh that our tea friends have such a big brain hole.
Some tea friends said that the tea set for brewing white silver needles and shoumei is different.
Some tea friends also said that the water temperature of brewing shoumei and white silver needles is also different.
Okay, pause the part of each other.
Ask one of the tea friends, why do you think that shoumei and white silver needles are brewed differently?
The answer I got was that I didn't expect anything.
He said that the price of white silver needles is more expensive, while the price of shoumei is cheaper, and the more expensive tea leaves have to be brewed in different ways.
Like the white silver needle is more tender, to use warm water to blister, shou mei is relatively coarse and old, can be brewed with boiling water.
And ah, the price of white silver needles is a little more expensive, when brewing, you can throw a little less tea...
belch...... It turns out that in the eyes of tea friends, white tea with different prices is still so exquisite in brewing.
It's just the remarks of tea friends, and personally hold objections.
From the words of tea friends, I saw a lot of wrong information, and then I rebunked the rumors one by one.
Regardless of the price of white tea, the brewing method is consistent.
For example, tea sets are recommended to use white porcelain lid bowls.
The white porcelain lid bowl is suitable for any tea leaf and can show the best flavor of high-quality good tea.
The texture of white porcelain will not adsorb the tea aroma and will not adsorb the tea flavor, so that the flavor of the tea soup can be most fully displayed.
Like the custom white porcelain lid bowl commonly used on weekdays, its capacity is about 100-110 ml, and the amount of water injection can also be well controlled.
Don't worry about injecting too much water and brew a cup of tea soup with a weak taste.
Moreover, the white porcelain lid bowl, lid and bowl body are in a separate state, and the water outlet can be controlled by itself, and the size of the water outlet can be determined according to the shape of the tea.
Being able to get out of the water quickly is the key to determining the taste of the soup.
If the soup is slow, it will lead to an excess of flavor substances released in the soup water, making the tea soup too bitter to drink and not good to eat.
In addition, brew with a white porcelain lid bowl and take advantage of the smell.
After the soup is finished, there will be a part of the tea aroma on the lid, at this time, open the lid, you can smell the multi-layered tea aroma.
Smell the front note to the tail note and feel its style at different temperatures.
Therefore, whether it is brewing shoumei or silver needles, the tea set can be covered with white porcelain.

Brewing white silver needles and other white teas, the amount of tea is the same.
Tea friends said that because the price of white silver needles is expensive, the amount of tea can be reduced when brewing.
However, if you do this, you will only brew a cup of soup with a weak taste.
The proportion of tea and water is uneven, and it is strange to be able to brew a delicious tea soup.
According to years of experience and feedback from tea friends, brewing white tea is more secure than 5 grams of tea and injecting 100-110 ml of water.
The taste substances released in the soup will be in a balanced state, and the soup will be delicious to drink.
When you want to drink white silver needles, you will go to the warehouse to take some out and brew them.
Before brewing, weighing tea and scalding pots and warm cups are naturally indispensable steps.
First weigh 5 grams of tea with a gram scale, put it into a warm lid bowl, gently shake up and down three times, and smell the dry tea.
The rich fragrance of the milli-milli-o
Water is injected with a ring wall to ensure that each bud head can be wet, thus releasing the taste substance.
After filling the water, quickly close the lid to make the soup, open the lid and smell the incense.
Covered with a rich fragrance, the smell of corn-like boiled water is extremely strong, sweet with beauty, extremely refreshing.
When the lid has cooled a little, there is a cool floral fragrance on the top.
It is like the fragrance emitted by the small white flowers that are wet by the rain, and it is so graceful and amorous, like the flowers that bloom on the top of the mountain, unattainable.
Its floral fragrance is not as gorgeous and amorous as Shoumei and white peony, but hides behind the fragrance and blooms silently.
Silence adds luster to a cup of tea.
The soup is soft and soft, like a mouthful of tofu flowers, very syrupy, thick and smooth and delicate.
The aroma of tea falls into the water, and the fragrance of flowers and flowers in the water takes turns, bringing the ultimate tea drinking experience.
The feeling of returning to Ganshengjin is very fast and intense, and it is so beautiful and gorgeous.
If you reduce the amount of tea, you will not have such a wonderful experience.
The resulting soup is only slightly faint in taste and light in tea.
Brewing high-quality white silver needles into such a flavor is a waste of good tea.

The white silver needle is delicate and has been passed down for a long time.
Because of its tenderness, some people think that if it is brewed with boiling water, it will burn it.
Actually, it's a lot of concern.
First of all, the white silver needle is not afraid of boiling water at all.
The white silver needle is made from the single bud of the great white tea and daffodil tea tree varieties, and because of the tree species, the buds are covered with pekoe.
These pekoe not only provide milli fragrance to the tea leaves, but also have a waterproof effect.
In the process of white tea growth, when the water droplets fall on the bud head, they will slide down the white to the ground and moisturize the roots.
After the in-place process, the pekoe on the bud head is relatively intact.
When brewing, pekoe can also play a waterproof role.
The water temperature is not high enough to penetrate the protection of pekoe, so that the deep taste substances are released and the soup water is rich in taste.
In this way, it will brew a soup with a bad taste.
In addition, warm water will not only affect the release of flavor substances, but also affect the tea aroma of soup water.
Come to think of it, people who love to drink tea must value the aroma of tea.
If you drink a cup of tea soup with a light tea aroma when you are tasting tea, the good mood of drinking tea will be damaged by most of it.
The elegant fragrance, the elegant floral fragrance, the charming rice dumpling leaf fragrance, the bamboo leaf fragrance, etc., are all addictive existences.
However, brewing with warm water will only greatly reduce the expressiveness of the tea aroma.
The boiling point of aromatic substances in tea leaves is different, some are high, some are low.
Those high boiling points of tea aroma, brewed with warm water can not be released at all, so it will only affect the level of tea aroma.
Any good tea of outstanding quality can be brewed directly with boiling water.
White tea that is afraid of being tested by boiling water, the quality is catty.
Whether it is a white silver needle or a shoumei, when brewing, please brew with boiling water!

There is a saying that has not been said in a long time.
Water is the mother of tea, and utensils are the father of tea.
In the matter of making tea, water and utensils are very important.
Whether the tea set is chosen properly or not, everything will be displayed in the soup.
Whether the tea aroma is displayed completely, whether it can be done quickly out of the water, etc., determines the flavor of the soup.
To brew high-quality tea, it is recommended that you use boiling water to brew.
Boiling water can release deep-seated flavor substances, and the aroma of tea with high boiling points can be revealed.
Rich in taste and overflowing with tea aroma, this is the performance of good tea.
Instead of the taste is dull, the tea aroma is shallow.
Sometimes, relying on your own guesses, it is difficult to make correct judgments.
Speculation is speculation after all, without any scientific basis.
Only when you have really practiced it can you get the final conclusion.
