Silver Needle Pekoe (new) is smart and "fresh and sweet"
Silver Needle Pekoe is the well-deserved pride and leader in white tea. has always been known as the "Beauty of Tea" and "King of Tea".
Pekoe silver needles are mostly picked before dawn. The earliest picking time is early March. In the early spring, which is still chilly, the first batch of buds have emerged. The buds are plump and plump, and are wrapped with fine white pekoe. Chubby and furry, they are so cute.
And those pekoe are rich in amino acids , tea polyphenols and other substances, and have high nutritional value . Amino acids are one of the basic components of the flavor of white tea. They can add sweetness and freshness to the tea soup while relieving the bitterness in the tea soup.
The amino acid content of white tea is one of the best among the six major tea categories, leading other tea categories. Among them, Baihao Yinzhen, which has the thickest pekoe, has the richest amino acid content in white tea. Those seemingly insignificant pekoe bring a unique flavor to Baihao Yinzhen.
Silver Pekoe Needle is suitable for brewing with hot water of about 95 degrees. When the Silver Needle Baihao comes into contact with the hot water, the endoplasm of each cell is activated, and the roots stand upright like bamboo shoots, floating and sinking in the water.
Observe carefully, maybe you don’t need to be so careful. There are countless tiny pekoe floating in the tea soup, rising and falling, like smart little elves.
The Baihao Silver Needle of that year has an obvious refreshing aroma in the mouth, and the taste of the tea soup is layered. is refreshing and sweet. When the tea soup enters the throat, it leaves a cool feeling in the mouth and promotes the production of body fluids for a long time.
After many years of storage, the taste of the old silver needle is mellow and soft. Due to the blessing of time, the freshness of the tea soup will decrease, and the aging will produce a sweet, soft, smooth and sweet tea soup texture. Still plenty.
