"Cun Gu Chen" The sentence in the title of
was sent to me by a senior tea friend.
The source of this sentence is in a certain red book. Written by a tea blogger above.
The blogger’s point of view is that white tea is the same tea as green tea. Green tea only drinks new but not old. Therefore, white tea can only drink new white tea, not old white tea .
and the blogger also cited evidence.
refers to the national standard.
said, "The national standard for white tea requires white tea to be fresh and mellow, while old white tea has no freshness. Therefore, according to the national standard for white tea, old white tea cannot be counted as good tea, but new white tea is good tea."
Tea friends, who have read four or five years of articles in Xiaochen Tea Affairs, are old white tea friends, and of course they exploded when they saw it.
Immediately caught up with this blogger.
However, the blogger repeatedly used the national standard of white tea as a weapon.

Village girl Chen Wen sighed.
This blogger is another person who read the national standard of white tea off-track.
The national standard of white tea does state that white peony silver needle , white peony , shoumei ,Their aroma standards are all "Xian", and the first word of their aroma standards is "Xian".
starts with fresh and focuses on fresh.
However, if, like a blogger, think that "only new white tea is fresh, it meets the national standard for good white tea, while old white tea is not fresh and does not meet the national standard for good white tea", then Wrongly wrong.
New white tea is fresh.
Old white tea, isn't it fresh?
Good old white tea, it is also fresh, refreshing, fragrant and mellow.
Moreover, good old white tea is not only "fresh and mellow", but also "live and sweet".

Someone must come forward.
stood up and said, "Where is the old white tea fresh? Isn't the old white tea mellow? It is old, where does the fresh come from?"
Well, I have this idea, that's right.
If taken literally, old white tea is indeed "old" and no longer young. In theory, there is really no reason to be "fresh" anymore.
If you have never drunk real old white tea, there is no reason to think that old white tea can have a "fresh feeling".
In particular, I have been encountering the "leek pie" who has made old white tea and is always harvested by old white tea, and cannot recognize the freshness of old white tea-making old white tea coffee brown as a base, and piling up a piece of new tea leaves. Tawny, where does Xian come from?
Only those who have really drunk old white tea, and only those who have drunk real old white tea, can understand the feelings of Village Counsel Chen, and can recognize Village Coun Chen's statement about the freshness of old white tea.
Only those who have experienced the drunken spring smoke, the spring brow cakes from 2015, the strong fragrance of Chinese medicine, the spring feeling like a bridge of smoke and willows, and the refreshing feeling like the spring breeze, will you understand, village girl As Chen said, the "freshness" of old white tea.
Not only in the old Chunshou eyebrows, but also in the freshness,There are too.
2016's Dielianhua, it is the autumn birthday cake. In its first and second punches, there is an obvious freshness, which appears on the lid incense and in the tea soup.
Of course, old white tea should not be boiled directly in the pot.
Once cooked, this freshness will not be felt. You have to soak it first, then boil it, soak it for seven or eight times, and then boil it, so that you can have an eclectic experience. You can not only feel the freshness of the good old white tea, but also drink the thick soup that has been aged for many years.

Why does old white tea have no freshness, but the real old white tea has it?
The reason lies in the craftsmanship.
Only those who really love to make white tea will pay great attention to the details of the craftsmanship of white tea. Only by carving out the details of the white tea craftsmanship can the white tea be of good quality. White tea like
, after aging into old white tea, whether it is loose tea or cake tea, it will still have the freshness of the new tea period-the freshness is not derived from aging, it is owned by the new tea, and Retained and continued through many years of aging.
The details of the craftsmanship that can achieve the freshness of high-quality old white tea are:
pick the tea in good weather;
pick it down and thin it for drying + spread it in time;
pay attention to weather changes and wind when it is drying It is raining, the temperature rises, and the sun is intensified. You need to withdraw the tea in time, wait for the weather to get better, and then put it out and wither;
is at a constant temperature and slow when drying;
is sealed in three layers when it is stored......
Only by paying attention to these details can a batch of white tea be made.
Only when a batch of loose white tea and cake are made, pay attention to the temperature and humidity control, then a cake can be pressed.
And when these loose white tea and cake tea are prepared, they must have good storage conditions,Keep the tea away from the wall and the ground, three-layer packaging, and light-proof sealing, so that a tea can be well aged in the box over time.
Only with good craftsmanship, a white tea will retain a lot of beneficial substances and have a refreshing feeling.
Only good storage, a white tea will convert a large number of beneficial substances in the new tea period into more beneficial substances, and let the freshness continue.
has done the above, the old white tea will have a fresh and refreshing feeling.
This kind of old white tea is just worthy of the three words "old white tea".
"5"
Of course, the freshness of old white tea is not the same as that of new white tea.
The fresh and refreshing substances in the new white tea have a higher content and a more obvious taste.
Just like when Li Mahua was 15 years old, he showed his sharp edge and dared to fight with boys.
A few years later, the new white tea has aged to become the old white tea. Although its freshness is still there, it is reduced, weakened, transformed, and thickened.
We can still smell it from the fragrance of the lid and drink it from the tea soup, but it is not the main aroma, nor the main taste anymore.
It is invisible, behind the fragrance of rice, medicine, jujube, and bamboo leaves.
becomes the background wall and embellishment.
Just like when Li Mahua was 25 years old, she was already mature, knowing that being a dad’s daughter, she must be reserved, pretend to be a lady, wear skirts, and learn to dance...
I know she is still that in my bones Flying soul, but in appearance, she is no longer the impulsive girl back then.
You can only get to know it deeply before you can feel that her inner core is still the girl who wants to punch her fist when she doesn't agree.

White tea is all delicious.
As long as the new white tea has an umami taste, it will still have umami taste when it ages.
People are childlike.
As long as you have a childlike innocence when you are young and get older, you will still be innocent.
The good things you have in your bones will never run away.
Unless, major changes have been encountered.
became a cleaner from Mr. Yihong.
will put down his wife and concubine, and escape into the empty door.
