Speaking of wild tea, everyone would definitely want to know what kind of tea is considered wild tea, what are the taste characteristics of wild tea, what is the wild tea on the market, etc. I will talk about these all at once in this article clear.
What is wild tea?
is the tea that is allowed to grow naturally, without fertilization and no spraying. My understanding is that the tea made by tea green in a good ecological environment.
Wilderness white tea source
1. Unexpectedly left out
Fuding white tea began to be slowly promoted in 2010. Before Fuding Dahao, Dabai was basically used as a raw material for green tea and black tea. , The price of green tea is very low, so many people go out to work, and some tea hills are abandoned because they can't be managed. This is the source of most of the wild tea greens.
But now the number of tea hills in this part is also decreasing, because tea farmers are considering economic benefits, now white tea the overall price of green tea is increasing every year, although not comparable to the wild tea, but its output is larger than the wild tea As a whole, the economic benefits of platform tea are much higher than that of wilderness tea, so a large part of this tea mountain has been changed to platform tea.
2. Intentionally staying uncultivated
This is divided into three situations, one is that the tea farmer stays uncultivated, the other is that the tea merchant base stays uncultivated, and the other is that even the tea farmers are also tea merchants.
Tea farmers usually leave the wasteland because they don't have any labor at home. If they are on a terrace, they don't have so much time to manage, so they leave a portion of the wild tea.
The second situation is that the tea merchants are used as a brand image.
The third type is usually young people go home to start a business.Those who have tea hills in their own homes will leave a part of the desert, and the author belongs to this kind.
This wasteland tea that is intentionally left uncultivated is generally something after 13 years, so many of the remaining uncultivated years are not high, and many tea trees are also pruned every year, but it is said that he manages it in accordance with the ecological standards of the wilderness tea to make the soil environment better. The better it comes, the better the quality of the tea will naturally become.
III. Features of Wilderness Tea
1. Short picking period and low yield
Wilderness tea is only picked for spring tea, and it is generally picked 3-5 times. The amount of each time is also very small,
stays in the wild for a long time , So the overall output is very low.
Why do we only pick spring here? Is there no tea picking after spring?
Tea picks are also available after spring, but because the weather gets hot, the tea garden has no medicine. Various insects and even snakes will be there. , So you can imagine the situation when you pick tea leaves, and the taste of tea leaves after spring is relatively not as good as spring. In addition to the pursuit of health, Wilde Tea also pursues the taste.
2. Taste characteristics
Compared with table tea, the taste of wilderness white tea is much better than table tea in terms of sweetness, freshness and cleanliness, but its tea smell will be weaker, which may be related to no fertilization. In addition to the taste of wild tea, people have health reasons.
4. The situation of wild tea on the market
At present, most wild teas on the market are intentionally left uncultivated. The unintentionally left uninhabited wilderness tea is rarely circulated in the market, and the main quantity is very small. In fact, the taste of the two is not very different, and the ecological environment is not much different from the same year, mainly in the size of the tea tree.
But there is a part of the wild tea has its shape,But it doesn't have its essence. But it is difficult to distinguish.
5. Talk about your own wild tea mountain. Then I recommend a tea of my own
My own wilderness tea mountain has accidentally stayed in the wild (8 years in the wild), and also intentionally stayed in the wild (in the wild for two years).
The tea mountain that was accidentally left deserted was left by my father. As mentioned earlier, the price of green tea was not good. Many people went out to work. My uncle’s tea mountain was also left to my father to manage, but my father couldn’t manage it. Now, it’s not very good to have a piece of its own location (mainly because of the inconvenient location). Later, the tea green price came up, and my uncle’s tea mountain was taken back, but my father got sick and left in 2015, and the tea mountain has been deserted. I only started picking it when I went home in 2019, but it was only at the end of spring. I had a shou eyebrow (about 50 kilograms of wild shou eyebrow), there will be some silver needles and peonies in 2020.
In 2020, another part of the tea mountain is deliberately left uncultivated. It is the tea plantation that intends to remain uncultivated. So the current products include 2019 Wilderness Shoumei, 2020 Wilderness Silver Needle and Peony (various grades), 2021 Wilderness Silver Needle and Peony .
will launch today this is a gift box and a simple package of Wild Peony in 2020.
