What is the difference of Darjeeling Ancient Tree Black Tea? flavor and appearance characteristics of Darjeeling AV2 tea varieties

There is a great difference in the smell between Pu'er and black tea, because the flavor created by the varieties and techniques of ancient tea, old tea and big tea advertised in Pu'er will be relatively calm, heavy, wood-based and full-bodied, and sometimes with juniper, ginseng, plum, jujube, medicinal and soil flavor after transformation.

The raw tea of Pu'er, that is, the green tea with large leaves, tends to show the aroma of smoke, moss, branches, herbs, flowers and fruits, but even if the raw tea has a fresh taste, it will also turn to a calm woody tone after aging.

Of course, the modern new process of Pu'er is a combination of oolong and white tea, and Pu'er tea, which is influenced by the technology of Fujian or Taiwan, is more likely to be rich in floral notes, but most of the big leaves of ancient tea trees are rich in material and have a strong sense of irritation. so it's not necessarily tasting when it's fresh.

Black tea regardless of small leaf species and large leaf species are due to heavy wilting and withering water, heavy fermentation oxidation, heavy kneading and release, transforming tea irritants into softness and gentleness, taste more stable and balanced with sweet carbohydrates and honey, aromas ranging from light white stalks, yellow stamens, orange cores and safflower to slowly ripening temperate green fruits, tree fruits, berries, citrus, peaches, plums, pears, grapes, and even tropical fruits and brewing aromas. It is more suitable to drink when it is fresh, but it will gradually lose the advantages of rich aroma and varied taste of black tea after a long time of transformation.

At present, the Darjeeling DARJEELING area, in addition to the old century-old Chinese trees, will produce variety characteristics due to the clustering of local differences.

After a hundred years of growth in Darjeeling, it has changed too much after localization. On the contrary, AV2, a mainstream variety cultivated by the Indian Tea Bureau, has become a common variety of local black tea as a single variety of asexual reproduction and planting in large quantities. The tea is slender and has a nutty, strong floral, grape and fruit flavor.
