Once I had tea with a friend and brought a big red robe with me.
This big red robe was strongly praised by a friend who drank Huiyuan Narcissus for many years.
He said that this big red robe, with incense and water, is very well blended.
Indeed, when smelling incense and tasting soup, you can feel the presence of daffodils and cinnamon.
The floral fragrance is cinnamon, and the soup is full and mellow, and it tastes like a joan pulp, which makes people feel happy.
Floral fragrance is a delicate fragrance, with the fragrance of gardenia, jasmine, etc., and the sharp cinnamon fragrance is intertwined with the floral fragrance, which is a feast for the sense of smell.
The thick and mellow tea soup is wrapped in the aroma of tea, and when sipping tea, the aroma floods in the mouth, leaving a fragrance in the mouth and exhaling like an orchid.
The soup was so smooth that it did not have to be swallowed, and it slid directly down the tongue to the throat, and was swallowed unconsciously.
The speed of returning to Ganshengjin is extremely fast, and it has the pungency of cinnamon.
This big red robe, under the blood.
This brewed tea accompanied us throughout the afternoon, and each punch performed differently, making people want to know more about it.
Take the soup in your mouth, feel its fragrance, feel its rhyme, feel the ultimate enjoyment it brings.

Da Hong Pao has always been the master of Wuyi Rock Tea, and people from other provinces may not have heard of daffodils and cinnamon, but they still have some impressions of Da Hong Pao.
However, some people may only know about Da Hong Pao and do not know that it is Wuyi Rock Tea.
Some time ago, I listened to a tea friend from other provinces ask, what is the relationship between Da Hong Pao and black tea?
Uh, it's all tea...
If you really want to pull out some relationship, you can only say that Wuyi Mountain also produces black tea.
The high-quality Zhengshan small species and Jin Junmei on the market come from Wuyi Mountain Tongmuguan.
Other than that, they have nothing to do with each other except that they are all tea leaves.
Black tea is black tea, and da hong pao is da hong pao, which cannot be confused.
Some tea lovers will think that it is black tea when they see the word "red" in the name of Da Hong Pao, but in fact it is Wuyi Rock Tea.
The craftsmanship of the two teas is different.
Da Hong Pao belongs to rock tea, and its main processes are:
Tea green - pour green - make green - stir-fry green - kneading - walking water roasting - re-roasting and so on.
Da Hong Pao, which has experienced roasting, its caramel aroma and unique flavor are intoxicating.
Drink it into your mouth, and the aroma of rock bone flowers will be vividly displayed.
Black tea (paulownia black tea) belongs to the tea with a high degree of fermentation, and the main processes are:
Tea green - withering - kneading - fermentation - re-kneading - picking - equal stacking and so on.
Like red crushed tea, in the process of processing, in order to obtain a more unique flavor, the chopping process will also be added.
Under many factors, Da Hong Pao and Black Tea have very different personalities.

Regarding the relationship between various types of tea, there are still many tea friends who are confused.
Especially for people who have just started drinking tea, the relationship between various teas is even more foggy.
For example, the relationship between Anji white tea and white tea.
Many people have heard of Anji white tea and will think that it is a type of white tea.
As everyone knows, people are actually green tea.
In the name of Anji White Tea, although there is the word "white tea", it is not white tea.
We often say that white tea belongs to one of the six major tea categories.
According to the content of the white tea national standard, the buds and leaves of the large white tea, the daffodil tea tree and the varieties of tea planted by the group are used as raw materials, and the finished tea made by withering, drying, picking and other processes can be called white tea.
Simply put, only tea that meets the tree species and process requirements can be called white tea.
Anji White Tea obviously cannot meet the above requirements.
First of all, the tree species is not right.
The raw material of Anji white tea comes from white leaf No. 1, which belongs to the shrub type, medium leaf type, the trunk is obvious, and the leaf teeth are shallow.
The reason why it has the name of white tea is because in the spring, the new shoots are jade white, the leaves are thin, and the leaf veins are light green.
When the temperature gradually rises and the temperature is greater than 23 degrees Celsius, the leaves will gradually turn from white to green.
Second, the process is different.
The process of Anji white tea mainly includes, stall green - kill green - stall cool - finishing and so on.
As briefly mentioned above, the process of white tea is mainly withered and dried, which is completely different from Anji white tea.
Finally, the storage conditions and storage time are different.
In general, in order to make the flavor of green tea last longer, low temperature storage is better.
Because of the process of killing green, green tea can be stored for a long time, most of which is concentrated in about 12-18 months.
Therefore, for green tea, it is advisable to drink it early.
White tea, it is not recommended to store at low temperatures, room temperature is good.
White tea with excellent quality and proper storage can be stored for a long time.
Anji white tea and white tea are basically two types of tea!

Tieguanyin, which was once extremely popular, is often said to be green tea.
This is the same situation as mistaking Anji white tea for white tea.
Angie white tea will be mistaken for white tea because there is the same word in the name.
The mistaking of Tieguanyin for green tea is related to the following three reasons.
First, the fragrance type Tieguanyin is somewhat similar in appearance to green tea.
In this way, it is easy to misjudge people.
Second, there are some similarities in flavor.
The flavor of the two teas is fresh, fresh and the aroma is elegant and beautiful. When tasting, there will be the illusion that the two are the same tea.
Third, the storage method is similar.
There is a friend who is a big fan of Tieguanyin and has a lot of inventory in his hands.
In order to ensure that the flavor of Tieguanyin does not change too quickly, friends will store it in the refrigerator and store it at low temperature.
Because green tea is afraid of oxidation, it will also use low temperature storage to keep its flavor for a longer time.
Under various factors, people are prone to the illusion that Tieguanyin is green tea.
However, Tieguanyin and green tea are two completely different types of tea.
The difference in process is the biggest difference between them.
Tieguanyin is the representative tea of Minnan Oolong, and in the process of making, it has undergone a certain fermentation.
Green tea, on the other hand, is an unfermented tea.
Although the fragrance type Tieguanyin has a slight resemblance to that of green tea, the gap between the two is far from each other and should not be confused.
To be honest, when going out to drink tea, if you treat Tieguanyin as green tea, it is easy to make jokes.
Judging the tea category according to the appearance of the tea leaves is very imprecise.
If you don't pay attention, it is easy to mistake a tea, and when you drink tea, you can't drink its own flavor.
Because it was wrong at the beginning, one wrong step, one wrong step.

Drinking a good cup of tea is actually a kind of romance.
When you drink a good tea, you will imagine where it grows, how it is made, and how it is stored.
Let the thick and slippery soup soothe the lips and tongue, with a soothing rhythm, let yourself be relaxed.
However, drinking tea should be drunk clearly.
Obviously, he drank Anji white tea, but mistook it for white tea.
Obviously, he drank Wuyi rock tea, but misunderstood that it was black tea.
Drinking tea so confusedly, it is difficult to understand the true taste of good tea.
Once an older sister came looking for tea, and she said she wanted white tea.
Sending her pictures of shoumei, peonies, and silver needles was not the kind she wanted.
As a result, it took half a day to know that what she wanted was Anji white tea.
Look, if you drink tea, it's really easy to make jokes without figuring out the tea.
It is better to be a person who understands.
Besides, it is more important to clarify the relationship between various types of tea leaves and go out to drink tea and chat.
Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of losing people.
Tea friends asked, will the Da Hong Pao that you drink now be pure material?
