What's the difference between single fir and old fir tea?

Single fir tea and old fir tea are both rock teas produced in Wuyishan, Fujian. Traditional production techniques are the same, but there are some differences between them.

1. Different raw materials of tea: single fir tea uses new tender tea with two leaves or one leaf at a time, while old fir Chaze requires picking about four to six leaves, so the quality of tea is relatively mature.

2. Different brewing methods: Due to the difference of tea leaves, single fir tea is suitable for brewing with high-temperature boiling water, and the brewing time is short. 10-20 seconds can taste the rich rock rhyme, and the taste is dry. But the old fir Chaze needs to be brewed with lower temperature water, and the brewing time is longer, about 30 seconds, which can better reflect the rich layering and rich rock rhyme of the old fir tea.

3. Different flavor characteristics: the taste of single fir tea is dry, elegant and refreshing, full of rock rhyme and unique rock fragrance and bitterness; Chaze, an old fir tree, has a very complicated layering and taste, and the entrance is like a hundred flowers. Over time, the tea soup becomes thicker and clearer, with a long aftertaste and strong sweetness.

In a word, although both single fir tea and old fir tea are rock tea, the flavor characteristics are different because of the different characteristics and brewing methods of tea.
