But different kinds of tea do have the best drinking time. Some teas taste best at certain times, and some teas are most beneficial to the body at certain times.
The best drinking time of all kinds of tea is explained in detail below.
First, green tea. Green tea is the largest tea in China, with the largest drinking population and the widest planting area. From the northernmost Shandong producing area to the southernmost Hainan island producing area, most of China's top ten famous teas belong to this category.
The representative teas of green tea include Longjing Tea, Biluochun Tea, Xinyang Maojian Tea, Huangshan Mao Feng Tea, Anji White Tea, Rizhao Green Tea and Sichuan Zhuyeqing Tea.
The processing technology of green tea is basically the same. Most green tea is spread, dried, sorted and dried, and some tea leaves need to be kneaded.
Because there is no fermentation process, green tea retains its original flavor and original tea form as much as possible.
The taste of green tea is characterized by freshness and crispness, and its fragrance is mainly chestnut fragrance and orchid fragrance. Compared with fermented and semi-fermented tea, its aroma is lighter, mainly the original aroma of tea.
The processing technology of green tea determines that green tea is cold and flat, which is very suitable for drinking in spring, autumn and summer. Everyone knows that the human body is prone to get angry in spring, summer and autumn. Drinking green tea regularly can clear lung-heat and reduce fire, especially in summer. Green tea is an excellent weapon to relieve summer heat.
Second, black tea. Black tea is the second largest tea in China and the largest tea in the world.
There are also many sub-categories of black tea, mainly represented by Qimen black tea, Dianhong, Jinjunmei, Zhengshan race and Yingde black tea.
Black tea is a completely fermented tea. The fermentation process of black tea is mainly to oxidize catechins in fresh leaves of tea. This series of chemical reactions will improve the original bitter taste of tea, making the bitter taste lighter and the fragrance stronger.
So the taste of black tea is characterized by high aroma, dry taste and light taste. If you adapt to mellow green tea, black tea may not be suitable.
The fermentation process of black tea not only changes the taste and color of tea, but also changes the cold and warm characteristics of tea.
Contrary to green tea, black tea is warm and has the function of warming the stomach and body, so it is especially suitable for drinking in autumn and winter. This is why people in northern China mainly drink black tea.
Jasmine tea also refers to the best drinking time of black tea.
Third, oolong tea. Oolong tea is a rapidly rising tea in recent years. It used to be popular only in southeast coastal areas, but now it is almost all over the country.
The representative teas of oolong tea are Tieguanyin in Fujian, Dahongpao in Lingnan and Shan Zong.
Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea with special production technology. Compared with green tea, he adopted fermentation technology, so he lost the bitterness and heaviness of green tea. Compared with black tea, the fermentation is incomplete.
Oolong tea tastes between green tea and black tea. It has a slight bitterness and a high aroma.
Oolong tea is flat, so it can be drunk all year round.
The most striking feature of oolong tea is its high and lasting aroma, so if you want to achieve the best drinking experience, it is best to have it in a sunny autumn afternoon. At this time, when the weather is dry and the temperature is suitable, the aroma of tea is most easily stimulated, not as dull as rainy days.
Yellow tea is also a light fermented tea, because it also refers to the best drinking time of oolong tea.
Finally, black tea and white tea.
The representative teas of black tea and white tea are Pu 'er tea, Anhua black tea and Fuding white tea.
They also belong to completely fermented tea, but unlike black tea, the fermentation of these two kinds of tea belongs to natural fermentation.
Therefore, many tea merchants promote that the longer the storage time of black tea and white tea, the more thorough the transformation and the best taste.
Actually, this is unscientific. Even if black tea and white tea have such characteristics, they cannot be preserved indefinitely. Otherwise, it is not good for the health, but will affect the health.
The best drinking time of black tea is about ten years, when the taste of tea reaches its peak. Compared with black tea, white tea has a longer storage time.
I hope these are helpful to everyone, thank you!
