How to Brew White Tea for Optimal Flavor? Techniques for Brewing White Tea!
Brewing tea is an art that requires method. Even the finest tea cannot fully express its true flavor if brewed improperly. Only by following the correct brewing methods can one truly savor the authentic taste and enjoy a delicious cup of tea. So, how should white tea be brewed to bring out its best? How to Brew White Tea for Optimal Flavor? Techniques for Brewing White Tea! 1. Brewing Silver Needle: When brewing Silver Needle white tea, there are two key points to consider: First, the tea buds are long and delicate, so the water temperature should not be too high, around 90 degrees Celsius is ideal; second, this premium white tea is covered in fine white down, so when pouring hot water, avoid direct contact with the tea buds. Instead, pour the water along the side of the cup (or pot). This approach has two benefits: it protects the appearance of the tea buds and prevents the tea from becoming cloudy due to the release of too much down, which could affect the clarity and beauty of the tea's color. Although the Silver Needle tea leaves are slender and delicate, they are also plump and fleshy, allowing for a…- 1

The Processing Technology of Floral-Scented Bai Mudan Tea
The floral-scented Bai Mudan tea is made from suitable raw materials for white tea production, processed through a combination of withering, shaking the green, stacking after merging sieves, baking, and sorting. The processing of floral-scented Bai Mudan tea mainly includes the following steps: 1. First combined withering: indoor natural withering, indoor heated withering, and sun withering are combined. Sun withering should be done during the morning or evening when the sunlight is weak. 2. Shaking the green: this is done once, shaking 40 to 60 times. 3. Second combined withering: it starts with indoor heated withering at a temperature of 15 to 25°C and relative humidity of 40% to 50%, lasting 3 to 6 hours. If the moisture content of the withered leaves reaches 18% to 22%, they can then be transferred to indoor natural withering, which lasts 2 to 5 hours to complete. 4. Stacking after merging sieves: after the second combined withering, the sieves are merged, and the tea is piled up to a thickness of 15 to 35 cm. The stacking process lasts 1 to 7 days. 5. Initial baking: at a temperature of 50 to 60°C, lasting 60 to 100 minutes. 6. Sorting: after the initial…- 0

The main areas for ancient tea trees on Mantuan Tea Mountain include Mantuan and Manlin (Mannlin). Manlin is the village with the most tea gardens on Mantuan Tea Mountain, while Manzhuang is the largest village and has the highest population. Manlin sits atop Mantuan Tea Mountain at an elevation of 1700 meters, with beautiful scenery and often shrouded in mist.

Tea Fragrance of Xishuangbanna: Yi Wu’s Wan Gong
Wan Gong was a famous village along the ancient Tea Horse Road and one of the two most illustrious villages in Yi Wu tea mountain during its heyday. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Yi Wu tea mountain and Man Sa tea mountain, both under the governance of Yi Wu’s local ruler, entered their most prosperous periods. At that time, Wan Gong was at the heart of the ancient six major tea mountains and also the site of imperial tribute tea gardens. Since the Qing Dynasty’s Xianfeng period, Wan Gong has been known as Thousand Family Village, with over 400 households and a large population, making it the most prosperous village in Yi Wu tea mountain. Later, due to the prevalence of malaria and other reasons, Wan Gong village gradually declined and faded from the sight of tea enthusiasts. The ancient tea gardens of Wan Gong have been severely damaged; there are no longer contiguous groves of ancient trees but rather scattered tea trees within the virgin forest. Wan Gong holds a significant place among the ancient tree teas of Yi Wu, being an area where ancient tea trees are well-preserved. These ancient tea trees grow at altitudes above 1,800… -
The Aroma, Sweetness, Richness, Thickness, and Smoothness of Aged White Tea
Aged white tea was not well known to many in the past, but now it has become a highly sought-after tea among connoisseurs. White tea, without rolling or stir-frying, transforms from new to aged over time, with time serving as the best witness. Often, guests ask how to distinguish an aged white tea. We generally describe a high-quality aged white tea using the terms “aromatic, sweet, rich, thick, and smooth,” which can be felt through its thickness, smoothness, moistness, sweetness, purity, and aroma. 1. Full Thickness The thickness of the tea soup is different from its concentration. The thickness of aged white tea is related to its texture, giving a very comfortable feeling – when the tea soup slides into your mouth, you feel a rich and viscous sensation, which is the thickness of aged white tea. When the tea soup has a certain strength, there are more substances dissolved in the water, which will manifest in this way in terms of taste. 2. Silky Smoothness Often, a very smooth aged white tea leaves a feeling as if "a layer of oil" has been left behind after drinking, similar to drinking soy milk or rice gruel. The more full-bodied the… -
Characteristics of the Banuo Tengtiao Ancient Tree Tea
Banuo Village is a representative of the eastern mountains of Mengku and is also one of the settlements with the most existing ancient tea trees. Historically, Banuo thrived along the ancient trade routes and due to the outstanding quality of its tea, it developed into the wealthiest village in the Shuangjiang area during the Republican era, despite the turmoil in central China at the time. It became a hub for prominent figures and was unparalleled in its prosperity. Just before the founding of the People's Republic of China, many wealthy families from Banuo left their homeland, migrating to Hong Kong, Taiwan, or even overseas, which led to a decline in the village’s prominence for nearly half a century. The ancient tea trees in Banuo grow differently from those in other villages, with strong, coiled branches resembling vines, hence they are called Tengtiao tea, or "Banuo Tengtiao tea." Historically, "Banuo Tengtiao tea" was reserved for tribal leaders, local lords, and nobility and was often selected as tribute tea. Although it has a unique appearance, Tengtiao tea still belongs to the large-leaf species of Mengku. Its development is the result of tea farmers' long-term experience in cultivation and management, adapting the characteristics… -

Brewing Water Temperature and Time for White Tea
When brewing white tea, the water temperature should be controlled between 90-100°C. Fresh white tea, with its tender texture, is suitable for brewing with boiling water above 90°C. For aged white tea, it requires boiling water at 100°C to awaken its inner qualities. Brewing Water Temperature for White Tea The water temperature for brewing white tea is 100°C. As a fermented tea, the use of boiling water helps extract the inner substances from the leaves, resulting in a more fragrant and flavorful infusion. If the water temperature is too low, the tea leaves will not fully open, leading to a bland taste. When brewing white tea, it is recommended to use a lidded bowl. First, place the dry tea leaves inside, then pour in boiling water to rinse the tea. After 5 seconds, discard the water. Then add boiling water again, do not cover, and after 1-2 minutes when the tea has expanded, it can be consumed. Brewing Time for White Tea The brewing time for white tea varies according to the number of infusions. The first infusion takes about 5 minutes, the second takes around 3 minutes, and subsequent infusions should also be kept around 3 minutes. Typically, white…- 2

Drinking Black Tea: These 7 Q&A Are Essential
Autumn has arrived, and winter is not far behind. With the coolness of autumn mornings and evenings, it's time to consider enjoying a cup of black tea, which can warm your body better than anything else. For those who love and wish to learn more about black tea, these seven questions should prove quite helpful. 01. Does the saying "high mountains produce good tea amidst clouds and mist" apply to black tea as well? Yes, it does. Tea plants prefer diffused light and are best grown under the shade of larger trees or amid clouds and mist, where sunlight is sparse and less intense. Under such conditions, tea plants find it easier to synthesize theanine. Tea plants grown at high altitudes tend to have richer theanine content, resulting in a fresher and more refreshing flavor. 02. What causes the sweetness when drinking black tea? The sweetness in black tea comes from the presence of sugars and amino acids. During fermentation, very complex chemical reactions occur centered around the enzymatic oxidation of polyphenols. The chemical composition of fresh tea leaves changes significantly, with over 90% of polyphenols reduced and new components like theaflavins and thearubigins produced. The aroma compounds increase markedly.…- 2

Why the Partiality for White Peony Among White Teas?
White tea has three sisters: Silver Needle, White Peony, and Long Life Eyebrow. A single bud with one, two, or three leaves is White Peony.Among the three, White Peony doesn’t seem to stand out. If we talk about beauty, Silver Needle may be more delicate, its buds are pleasing to the eye. In terms of aroma intensity, each sister has its own strengths. When it comes to value for money, Long Life Eyebrow is more practical and a preferred choice for regular tea drinkers.However, after chatting with many people, I found that many have a special fondness for White Peony. Why the partiality for White Peony?01 Appearance, Beauty Like a FlowerThe buds are slender and plump, covered densely with white down on both the buds and the backs of the leaves, as if draped in a thick white fleece. It has short tender stems that are not prominent. Its shape resembles flowers, earning it the name "Flower Fairy" for its beauty comparable to Xishi and Diaochan.The underside of the leaves reveals the downy buds, green on top and white underneath, which the locals call "Green Sky White Ground." There are differences in color between the leaf surface and veins, presenting… -

Gedeng Tea Mountain Pu’er Tea
The Six Great Tea Mountains of Yunnan have become iconic in the tea industry. When it comes to Pu'er tea, one cannot help but mention the Six Great Tea Mountains, each with its unique flavor. According to the account by Tan Cui, a scholar from the Qianlong era, in his work "Yunnan Ocean and Border Records," "Pu'er tea is renowned throughout the world, produced in six tea mountains under the jurisdiction of Pu'er: first, Youle; second, Gedeng; third, Yibang; fourth, Mangzhi; fifth, Manzhuan; sixth, Mansa. They span eight hundred miles." This "eight hundred miles" not only refers to the area of the tea mountains but also indicates that the Six Great Tea Mountains are contiguous. To the west lies Youle Tea Mountain, in the middle are Gedeng, Mangzhi, Yibang, and Manzhuan Tea Mountains, and to the east is Mansa (Mansa) Tea Mountain. Today, let us explore the historical culture and characteristics of Gedeng tea together. The Origin of Gedeng: Upon first hearing the name Gedeng, I was quite curious and felt a bit taken aback. In fact, Gedeng is a word from the Bulang language (indicating that there were Bulang people living here), meaning "a very high place." In the… -

Is Kunming Suitable for Pu’er Aging? Characteristics of Kunming-stored Pu’er Tea
Pu'er tea values its vintage, and many enthusiasts are passionate about collecting and drinking aged teas. When it comes to the vintage of Pu'er tea, storage is a natural topic of discussion. Besides raw materials and processing techniques, proper storage is crucial in determining the quality of Pu'er tea, ensuring it improves with age. Some tea merchants can establish professional facilities to store Pu'er tea, controlling factors such as humidity and temperature to ensure optimal aging conditions. However, for most merchants and enthusiasts, such professional storage is not feasible, and they must rely on natural conditions. Under these circumstances, the transformation and quality of Pu'er tea are largely determined by the natural climate. Natural storage of Pu'er tea essentially means dry storage. By "dry storage," we mean a clean and relatively dry environment. Cleanliness is the priority, with moderate dryness! The aging process of Pu'er tea requires both humidity and temperature. Extensive practice and scientific research have shown that the transformation of Pu'er tea involves enzymatic reactions and microbial fermentation, leading to changes in taste. Microorganisms, referred to as beneficial bacteria, play a key role in this transformation. These beneficial bacteria and enzymatic reactions thrive best at temperatures around 20°C… -
Does Pu’er Raw Tea Have an Expiration Date? How Long Can Pu’er Raw Tea Be Stored?
Speaking of the Kunming warehouse, storing Pu'er raw tea for around twenty years is completely feasible. However, many teas are consumed before they reach that age, which leads to the notion that Pu'er tea does not have an expiration date. Compared to storage duration, I believe that the storage environment is the key point, as a good storage environment ensures proper transformation of Pu'er tea over time. Don’t waste your fine tea due to improper preservation. How Long is the Shelf Life of Pu'er Raw Tea?In the process of storing Pu'er tea, you should choose appropriate methods based on the specific conditions of the tea rather than simply focusing on the length of storage time.The aroma components in Pu'er raw tea mainly consist of alkenes, aromatic ring alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, phenols, heterocyclic compounds, lactones, hydrocarbons, etc. These components present different fragrances, so when tasting Pu'er tea, one often experiences various levels of fragrance, which are directly related to the raw materials used and the storage process. If the storage conditions are excellent, Pu'er tea can be preserved for at least 30-40 years, although its taste and health benefits will be significantly reduced.It's important to note that for storing Pu'er… -

What is the shelf life of Pu’er tea, and how can it be stored long-term?
Pu'er tea has a shelf life of 10 to 20 years. Made from unique large-leaf varieties, Pu'er tea is categorized into raw and ripe types based on its processing method. Its thick and robust leaves are rich in flavor and have the potential for aging, hence there isn't a fixed expiration date. It is generally believed that Pu'er tea can be stored for 15 to 20 years. According to the national standard GBT22111-2008, under proper storage conditions, Pu'er tea can be preserved for an extended period. How does the national standard define the shelf life of Pu'er tea?From the definition of Pu'er tea itself: Pu'er tea is made from sun-dried tea leaves produced in specific regions of Yunnan, which undergo post-fermentation and can be processed as loose or compressed tea. Therefore, the national standard provides a guideline for the shelf life, stating that under the conditions specified in GBT22111-2008, Pu'er tea can be stored long-term. However, long-term storage ≠ permanent storageIn 1963, during the disposal of Qing dynasty tribute teas at the Forbidden City in Beijing, over two tons of aged teas were discovered, including some Pu'er teas. In Wang Yufeng's article "Pu'er Tea and the Qing Dynasty," he mentioned:… -
What Temperature Water is Best for Brewing Dian Hong Black Tea?
The brewing temperature for Dian Hong black tea is 95-100°C. High-quality black tea contains a rich array of substances and deeply accumulated aromatic compounds that can only be fully released with water at or above 95°C. This high temperature brings out the tea's rich and varied aroma and also helps to extract its internal substances, ensuring the fullness of the tea liquor. What Temperature Water is Best for Brewing Dian Hong Black Tea? The ideal water temperature for brewing Dian Hong black tea is 95°C. Black tea is made through fermentation, and using high temperatures can fully extract polyphenols, amino acids, and other substances from the tea. Additionally, high temperatures enhance the aroma and richness of flavor. However, the 95°C refers to water that has been left to cool for about 2 minutes after boiling, not water that has not reached boiling point. For premium black teas, a water temperature around 95°C is suitable, or you can use water at 100°C for a more intense flavor. Regardless, the water must always be brought to a boil. There isn't a definitive temperature, as lower temperatures yield a smoother taste and slower extraction of substances, increasing the tea's durability, while higher temperatures…- 2

Cooking Black Tea or Infusing It
Both cooking and infusing black tea are acceptable methods. As a fermented tea, this type is typically infused but is also suitable for boiling. In daily life, you can choose according to your preference. Infusing black tea has its own nuances; this type of tea is commonly prepared using the plain infusion method, which involves not adding any condiments to the tea infusion. This allows the flavor of the tea to be better showcased.The recommended choice for infusing black tea is a porcelain cup, or alternatively, a coffee cup. Use boiling water around 100°C, poured from a higher position into the cup. This method ensures that the tea leaves are fully expressed. Black tea can also be enhanced with various accompaniments, which can make it even more delicious. Common additions include sugar, milk, lemon, coffee, honey, or champagne in the tea infusion, creating a unique flavor profile.For the best-tasting black tea, use "soft water," which is low in calcium and magnesium, when infusing. The amount of tea used for infusing should be adjusted based on the characteristics of the tea, the number of guests, and their preferences. If you prefer a lighter tea, use less; if you prefer a stronger…- 2

Due to the vast size of Daxueshan and the large number of ancient tea mountains involved, to avoid confusion, the Daxueshan ancient tea mountain mainly focuses on wild tea resources. The Bangdong ancient tea mountain enjoys unique geographical… -
After Beginning of Autumn, Although It’s Still Hot, Pay Attention to the Details of Drinking Tea in Autumn
As the saying goes, preparation is key, and the beginning of autumn signals that we should prepare for the fall season. After summer, one may feel weak even without illness. Cultivating yang in spring and summer, and yin in autumn and winter, the appropriate nourishment in autumn is the best time to restore and regulate the functions of various organs in the body. Reasonable "nourishing of autumn" involves replenishing the vital energy dissipated during the hot summer, preparing the body for the storage period.
