What is the difference between spring tea and winter tea?

China can drink good tea with different flavors in four seasons, especially in winter and spring. It's winter tea season, and the cold winter is the time to make a pot of good tea. Come and know winter tea. Only when you know tea can you know how to drink good tea.

Winter tea winter tea, commonly known as "tail water boy", belongs to the production season from light snow (165438+1mid-October) to the end of the next year's severe cold (65438+the end of February) according to the solar terms. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night in winter, tea grows slowly, matures completely, and tastes less bitter and more sweet. Compared with spring tea, the color and fragrance of tea soup are weak, which is suitable for making oolong tea and packaged tea with elegant and delicate flavor. The taste is deep and lasting, but there are many impurities in coarse tea.

What kind of winter tea is it? Also known as "Liu Shui" or "Qishuizi Tea", especially the winter tea buds picked in June+10 every year. On average 10 kg of tea seeds can produce 1 kg of winter tea, which is very precious. After the winter tea is harvested, the temperature continues to drop, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the sunshine is short, the growth rate of tea is slow, the tea is mature and delicate, and the warming climate makes the tea germinate early. The tea harvested at this time is called "winter tea", which is almost bitter compared with ordinary winter tea. The tea soup is sweet and mellow, and its charm is smooth and delicate. In Taiwan Province Province, Lugu Township and Mingjian Township in Nantou are the largest winter tea producing areas.

What is the difference between winter tea and spring tea? Who is better? 1. The output of winter tea is the least, and that of spring tea is the most.

Because the climate is suitable for plant growth, the yield of spring tea is the largest, and it is easy to be absent from work when picking tea. Therefore, spring tea often has the phenomenon of "tender picking", with a stronger taste, but a little bitter. The output of winter tea is the least, and tea farmers usually wait until the tea seeds are ripe before harvesting, which is also the reason why winter tea has delicate aroma and low bitterness.

2. Difference of tea growing environment

As far as winter tea is concerned, the lower the temperature, the slower the growth of tea, the more delicate the mature structure and the better the flavor. Because of this, tea in winter can taste alpine tea, which is a good tea that experts must drink at a higher level. As far as spring tea is concerned, the flavor of "early spring tea" is not as good as that of "Yangchun tea" produced after the temperature warms up. Because of the cold weather when tea germinates in early spring, the function of soil microorganisms is low, so it can't fully absorb nutrients, and the growth of tea depends on its own stored nutrients. However, the spring tea harvested from spring buds has a suitable temperature, fertile soil and vigorous growth, and the probability of producing high-quality tea is higher.

3. Appearance type

From the point of view of dry tea, spring tea has thicker stems, thicker leaves and even green color; The color of winter tea is lighter, and there are more yellow slices of hairy tea, and the color is uneven. Judging from the brewed tea leaves, the tea leaves sink faster in spring, with rich aroma, clear color of tea soup, many buds and thin veins; Winter tea has elegant aroma and soft taste, and the color of tea soup is elegant, and the edge of bud leaves is obvious.

4. Compared with spring tea, winter tea has fewer backwashing times.

There are long hollow branches between spring tea leaves, which contain more water and are relatively resistant to foaming. Each pot of tea can be brewed for about 6~7 times, and there is still a fragrant tea fragrance. Winter tea leaves have shorter empty branches and less water content. Each pot of tea can be brewed about 3~4 times, and then there is no tea flavor, only throat rhyme.

5. "Drink spring tea and tea soup; Drinking winter tea is fragrant. 」

Spring tea is fragrant and sweet, and you can drink it after soaking for a long time, so "drink tea soup"; Winter tea has profound connotation, profound throat rhyme and elegant aroma. Different from spring tea, it is famous for its softness, so "drinking winter fragrance" actually means drinking tea into the throat, with endless charm.

Generally speaking, from the grade of tea, spring tea is better than good tea, but from the flavor, it still depends on personal taste preferences. Spring tea is fresh and lively, while winter tea is elegant and profound.
