See an antique with a sense of vintage.
There is no way to pretend that sense of old age.
Fine blue rust on the bronze pot, looking like the Milky Way, with an icy scent at the same time.
It was as if one looked at it would return to that rainy night, the night when the silence hid an unusual taste.
Objects with a sense of history and mystery cannot be forged.
Even though the appearance is exactly the same, the feeling is different.
In the antiques world, there are workshops specializing in making fakes.
Some people with better technology, the things they make, the way is relatively shallow, it is really difficult to distinguish between true and false.
At this time, only by relying on professional equipment can it be distinguished.
Some people, who spend a high price to get the fake back, originally thought that when it reached the highest value, they would sell it for profit.
However, the blow of the fake suddenly landed.
For a while, I was at a loss and didn't know how to be good.

In white tea, there are also fakes.
As a star hit, the old white tea has been imitated, but it has never been surpassed.
Because of its flavor and nutritional value, old white tea is loved by many old tea customers.
But if you want to become an old white tea, it takes time, plus the tea itself is a consumable, drink a bubble less than a bubble.
White tea with good quality and real vintage, the quantity is not much.
With that comes a shortage of supply. When some tea friends can't buy old white tea, they are even willing to spend a lot of money just for a kiss.
This phenomenon has made some unscrupulous people see that interests are fluctuating.
As a result, the old white tea was conceived and born, disguised as an old look in the dark appearance, and was purchased by countless new tea friends to go home.
In fact, its true identity is inferior tea.
However, many new tea friends have little experience in judging the authenticity of old white tea, and when they hear the rhetoric of the tea keeper, they listen to it and take it home.
Sometimes, tea lovers will buy old tea because of the lack of experience in tea knowledge.
There are also some tea lovers who feel that old tea is also tea, and there is no problem in using it for daily drinking.
In fact, this kind of thinking is very dangerous.
Aged tea is a tea made using the old process.
The old process is mainly based on heaping, exposure to the sun, and drying at high temperatures.
Wo Dui is to pile up the freshly picked tea green thickly together to make it over-fermented.
Under over-fermentation, the flavor substances and aroma substances in the tea will be affected to a certain extent, and the contained substances will become scarce.
The main thing is that during heavy fermentation, it is unknown whether other substances will be produced inside the tea leaves.
If there is something bad in it, drink it into your stomach for fear of hurting your body.
Exposure to the sun and high temperature drying will only cause a large amount of nutrients contained in the tea leaves to be lost, the leaves will be sunburned, burned, and the wind and bones will be gone.
White tea with no substances is drunk into the stomach and has no value.
Once received tea friends sent old tea materials, the inky black tea cake is lifeless, it seems that people have no appetite.
After careful observation, it was also found that the living small black worm crawled on the tea cake, and the flower was discolored for a while.
Oh my God, such a tea, how dare you drink it!
At the moment, he quickly took out his mobile phone, photographed the little black worm, made a video and posted it, and reminded those tea friends who thought that drinking old tea was harmless.

Some people like to make old tea because drinking tea from a high vintage is very face-saving.
Casually search the Internet and you can see a lot of super high vintage teas, 10 years, 20 years, or even 30 years old.
Drinking tea leaves so high in age often seems to have an inexplicable sense of superiority.
Once I saw a netizen leave a message below an article, you white tea that is 4 or 5 years old is also considered old tea? I've never drunk only old white tea that's over 10 years old.
When I saw this comment, I had 3 thoughts in my mind.
First, white tea that has been aged for 4 or 5 years is, of course, old white tea.
According to the provisions of folk conventions, when a white tea has been aged for 3 years or more, it can be called old white tea.
Therefore, this tea friend's concept of old white tea still needs to be strengthened.
Second, if the old white tea that tea lovers drink is really old and of outstanding quality, it is indeed a thing to be proud of.
Nowadays, most of the real old white teas circulating on the market are concentrated in about 3-5 years, if the year is a little higher, the number will be very small, and the price is getting higher and higher.
If the tea you drink every day is more than 10 years old white tea, it can only prove that tea friends are very "trench".
Third, the so-called old white tea of tea lovers boldly guesses that the vintage is not true.
The quality of the 10-year-old white tea with a real vintage, only some large factories and white tea lovers will have a small amount of inventory in their hands, and it will not be easy to sell it until the important moment.
To know that the number of rare products that cannot be obtained is the most precious.
Able to meet daily consumption? Honestly not enough!
Drinking fake vintage old tea, does it really have face?
In fact, in the eyes of many old tea customers, it is just a joke.
Instead of weaving a dream for yourself, drink a real old white tea.

Some people will justify making old tea.
After all, by classifying old tea as inferior tea, his cake was passive.
At this time, you can only reverse black and white, relying on your own three-inch tongue to cover up the shortcomings of old tea.
He said that there are actually several kinds of old tea, some with better quality and some with poor quality.
I don't know, can these words be spoken, can you convince yourself?
If you don't even believe it, don't tell a joke.
Some people also say that making old tea is actually another process of old white tea, which is made by using the wodui process of black tea, which is actually no different from white tea.
belch...... It can really be edited.
If it is really so subdivided, then the old white tea can not be divided into, Wo Heap and no Wo Heap; vintage fake and vintage real; well-stored and improperly stored...
If you agree with this, it can only show that the understanding of white tea is not deep enough, and the quality requirements for old white tea are too low.
In white tea, there has never been such a process as a pile.
The process of white tea is based on withering and drying, withering is actually the process of natural dehydration, the tea green is spread in time, thinly spread and dried on a water sieve 70 cm above the ground for solar withering.
Drying, on the other hand, is the use of slow drying of the low heat to dry the moisture content of white tea to meet the requirements of the national standard.
In short, the tea leaves with the process of Wo Dui are definitely not white tea.
In addition, the requirements of old white tea for storage are extremely high, and only by meeting the requirements of sealing, drying, cooling, moisture-proof, no peculiar smell, etc., can high-quality tea be stored.
If there is an oversight during storage, and the tea leaves have been degraded by moisture during storage, then the tea will only become worthless in the end.
Even if its vintage is real, it's not worth buying it home for a high price.
I have always believed that since I spent silver, the quality of the products brought back must be good.
Otherwise, in the end, not only did it take a lot of thought, but there were still problems in the quality of the products obtained, which were useless.
The real, high-quality old white tea can withstand the tests.
You can increase the requirements for old white tea, don't feel that it has been stored for so long, and it doesn't matter if you ask to lower it.
In fact, it is completely unnecessary.

Old white tea has always attracted much attention.
As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you will bear its weight.
The reason why everyone likes old white tea is not out of thin air.
It's all because it's worth it, its aroma and taste, its delicate fragrance, calm and restrained, with a tranquilizing effect.
The tea soup is thick and smooth, like a white fungus soup that has been boiled for several hours, which is amazing.
Such a graceful feeling is by no means comparable to old tea.
Old tea has always been regarded as an undesirable product by old tea customers.
However, there are still many new tea friends who are not familiar with old white tea and are accidentally deceived.
If this is the case, then hurry up and enrich your tea knowledge.
In the future, everyone will abandon making old tea, there is no market, and it will only go to extinction in the end.
