Which one is better, the new craft white tea or the traditional craft white tea?

Traditional craft white tea is the mainstream in the current white tea market, such as Fuding white tea and Zhenghe white tea, all of which belong to the traditional craft.

From the production point of view, the traditional craft white tea is mainly withering and drying.

Withering is the thin spreading and drying of white tea on a water sieve, with the help of sunlight and wind, so that the tea is constantly discharged from the body of the water and some of the bitter and astringent substances.

When the water content of the white tea has gone up to 70% or 80%, it can be slowly roasted at a low temperature to keep the water content within 8.5%.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from the production, the traditional craft white tea is very simple, did not experience high temperature, did not experience external kneading, so the white tea polyphenol oxidase has not been blunted or destroyed, and still maintains a good activity.

During the later storage process, these polyphenol oxidizing enzymes will continue to work to promote the material transformation of white tea, so that the traditional white tea has the ability to get more and more fragrant as it ages.

Again, the new technology white tea, it is in order to expand the Hong Kong and Macao market, in the traditional technology white tea based on the development of out.

The main feature of the new technology white tea is the addition of kneading in the production process, which causes the cell walls of the tea leaves to rupture, and the inner substance is precipitated and released to the surface of the leaves.

After the addition of kneading, the aroma of the new white tea is even higher, full of fragrance, but the problem is also obvious, that is, the activity of polyphenol oxidase was destroyed, so the new white tea does not have the ability to store for a long period of time and the more the more fragrant.

On the whole, traditional white tea is more like an all-rounder, with freshness and freshness in new white tea and mellowness in old white tea, and it can be stored for a long time, with different flavor experiences in different periods.

While the new craft white tea is characterized by its aroma, it is more appealing to those tea lovers who like aroma, but it cannot be stored for too long, or the aroma will gradually diminish. With different preferences, you can choose different white teas.
