Which brand of Anxi Tieguanyin Tea is the most authentic AA1276 price list of top ten Tieguanyin brands

The uniqueness of Tieguanyin's production process

In Anxi, tea began to sprout in March. During this period, most of China's tea was picked and processed.

However, Tieguanyin was not pulled in March or April. Picking takes place only when the tea is ripe. By that time, the leaves will become very big and hard.

Very mature twigs are used to make Tieguanyin.

In May, the Tieguanyin leaves were removed, there were no buds, and the stem changed from green to reddish brown. It's actually a branch. In order to produce the unique flavor of Tieguanyin, adult branches and leaves must be included. These mature leaves are rich in polyphenols and produce a typical Tieguanyin flavor after fermentation. In addition, the content of tea polyphenols is higher and contains more minerals. This is why Tieguanyin has a stronger aftertaste than ordinary oolong tea.

Brewing method

(1) Water

When you use tap water, it is necessary to use activated carbon filter to filter water. Otherwise, you won't be able to taste the real tea. Chlorine is added to tap water to disinfect bacteria. This chlorinated water can also harm our body cells. Considering our health, it is very important to remove chlorine from drinking water. The most effective way to remove chlorine is to install activated carbon filter. This filter is designed to remove organic matter. It can remove not only chlorine, but also other harmful substances, such as contaminated pesticides. Activated carbon filters are easily available in ordinary hardware stores in most countries. If there is no activated carbon filter, please put charcoal in the water and put it overnight. Activated carbon filter material is made of activated carbon powder. The difference is that the activated carbon filter contains finer particles, so its surface area is very large and the filtration efficiency is higher. Reverse osmosis or distilled water is not recommended. This water is mineral-free, and the taste and taste of tea is often very unstable unless you have very high-quality tea and tea equipment.

It is also recommended not to use fresh tap water. If the water is preserved overnight, the aftertaste will become stronger. Preserving water in stone or clay pots will increase the content of minerals. However, you need to make sure that the water in a particular jar or stone is suitable for your tea or tea set (such as a teapot). If the kettle contains minerals such as copper and zinc, it will destroy the taste of tea. For this, you need to confirm it by experiment on the basis of trial and error.

For boiling water, please do not use aluminum or copper kettles. It destroys the taste of water. We recommend using kettle made of iron, stainless steel, tin or glass.

In the long run, you may observe a thick layer of scale in the kettle. Our mother usually teaches us to wash and remove it with citric acid. But please do not try to remove the scales. Scale is made up of minerals present in water. The minerals will be reflected from the water you use. If the scale is removed, the mineral ion balance between the scale and water will be destroyed. This balance is scientifically called the buffering effect. The taste and taste will be seriously exhausted, and you will not be able to get the previous taste and taste for a long time. It is also important to insist on using the same kind of water when making tea. If the water source changes, it will carry different types of minerals. It also affects the balance of mineral ions.

(2) the amount of tea

In order to determine the amount of tea, we divide the volume of water by 50. For example, the volume of the teapot = 200ml / 200ml / 50 = 4g. You need 4 grams of tea for 200 milliliters of water.

(3) temperature

It is important to use boiling water. Please don't stop as soon as the water boils. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

(4) brewing time

According to the above ratio of hot water to tea weight, the brewing time is as follows.

Rinse 1 or 2 times for 3-4 seconds each time.

The first bubble is 10-20 seconds.

Soak for a few seconds.

Step 3: soak for a few seconds.

Note: please open the lid while waiting for subsequent brewing. If the lid is not removed, the tea will be oversteamed and oxidized.

If you want to drink oolong tea, make sure the water temperature is very hot. Using boiling water, rinse the teapot with boiling water to keep it hot.
