How to identify different tea?

      How to identify new tea and old tea?
      New tea is good than old tea, this is generally speaking. Timely storage, for Longjing tea, not only good color and taste, but also with the beauty of incense. Such as oolong tea, just keep it properly, even the following year old tea, has the same aroma fragrance, the characteristics of the mellow taste. However, among the many varieties of tea, for more tea category, still is "new tea is good". To judge new tea and old tea, it can be distinguished from the following 3 aspects:
      1. According to the color of tea distinguish old tea and new tea. In general, green Tea color verdant dark green, soup colour yellow green bright; Black tea colour spurt black water smooth, the soup color reddish orange lights,it is a new tea logo.
      2. According to the aroma distinguish new tea and old tea. With the extension of time, the fragrance of the tea leaves will be changed from high to low, the aroma type will from the new tea strong fragrance to Low stuffy turbidity.
      3. According to the taste distinguish new tea and old tea. No matter what kind of tea, the new tea taste mellow refreshing, and old tea is pale and unhappy.
      In short, new tea give people a feel of fresh color, high aroma, taste mellow. And stored for more than 1 years of old tea, even with good care, also will inevitably appear color dark, aroma sink, thin sense of taste.
      How to identify true tea and false tea?
      True tea and false tea, commonly used sensory evaluation methods to identify. It is through the human visual, sensory and taste organs, grasp the inherent nature of tea, by seeing, smelling, touching, tasting, finally, a comprehensive judgment is true tea or false tea. Distinguish true tea and false tea, usually the first with both hands lift with dry tea, near the nose, a deep breath of tea aroma, just have tea aroma, it is real tea; just have green fishy taste, or inclusion of other odor that is fake tea. Meanwhile, it can also be combined with the color of tea to identify; use a hand to hold a tea leaf in the middle of a white paper or a white plate, spread of tea, careful observation, if Green Tea invisible green, black tea spurt black water smooth, oolong tea dark green, and the color of each kind of tea is basically uniform, it is true tea. If the tea color clutter, very not harmonious, or is not consistent with the nature of tea, that there is false tea suspicion.
      How to identify flower tea?
      To distinguish the fragrant flower tea and mixed flower tea, usually used in the way of sensory evaluation. Review time, just use your hands to hold a handful of tea, to suck the smell of tea,there is a strong fragrance of flowers, fragrant flower tea; Although there are flowers in the tea dry, but only tea aroma, but no flowers aroma but mixed with scented tea. If the tea brew with boiling water, just a smell and a drink, to determine whether there is no fragrance of flowers, more likely to make judgments. But there are a few fake tea, a kind of fragrance of jasmine flower is sprayed on the surface of tea, put some scenting flowers dry, this increases the difficulty of identifying. However, the aroma of this tea can only maintain 1-2 months, and then disappeared. Even in the fragrance of the effective period, generally where there are some people drink flower tea habits, can also be distinguished by the feeling of aroma.
Scenting flower tea with natural flowers, then there is a sense of stuffy.

Yunnan dianqing(滇青) and dian green(滇绿) just the change of one word

      Yunnan dianqing(滇青) and dian green(滇绿) just the change of one word, but they belong to two different types of tea, also called the sun dried maocha, and Dian green is the green tea produced in Yunnan. The source of fundamental differences between the two, due to the water removing temperature difference, there are drying methods for dry in the sun or dry beside or over a fire, temperature and time control.
      Green Tea water removing the temperature between 210~240 degrees Celsius, but the Yunnan dianqing(滇青) water removing temperature should be below 180 degrees Celsius below, this is the first difference between the two. During the rainy season, fresh leaves too wet water removing is not easy, too much and fall short easy to cause the water removing not enough or excessive fermentation,aroma not enough, thin soup or bitter not conversion phenomena.The sun dried maocha after rolling, on a bamboo mat or cement Shaichang in directly, dry in the sun, the drying process turns over 2~3 times, daily temperature is generally not more than 40 degrees Celsius. However, if the drying machine for drying process, usually the temperature is over 80 degrees centigrade, even between 100~130 degrees; High temperature water removing, high temperature drying maocha, if the finished product is still in the high temperature, become the standard of Yunnan puer tea. It is a find at tea factory, pressed tea products in the sun for two days continuous exposure, the aroma taste is completely different from the three day or a day sun shade shade treatment, for subsequent changes also be observed.
      High temperature water removing led to the complete cessation of enzyme action, plus the water content of the new products is less than 9%, after long storage and air contact, may only make puer tea appear similar to the moisture absorption deterioration of green tea, but not after-fermentation. The new product Yunnan Pu'er tea features is fresh tea leaves pale green or green, soup colour yellow green fragrance, but one or two years after the soup color is usually turbid, aroma reduction, taste becomes thin and not back to sweet, that can't show out sun drying maocha the more older more aroma characteristics. There are some more than 10 years raw cake, although not in the wet warehouse, but taste the tea no aroma no smell, it may be related to the above situation.
      Dianqing and Dian green have their own characteristics, of course, the "sun smell" of Pu er tea can't substitute. If consumers want to drink immediately, is unable to accept the bitter taste of sun dried maocha, Yunnan dian green tea is a good choice. And in the long term storage, the more older more aroma's point of view, green tea is not as good as dianqing tea fermentation of puer tea have the charm.
      Dianqing and Dian green are produced in Yunnan, there are special geographical and climatic conditions. tea production has a long history, is the origin center of the world tea tree. Tea has become one of the three major economic crops in Yunnan, Yunnan vast territory and abundant resources, regardless of the history of tea cultivation and the area of tea and tea production are the most in the world, which is the most famous of the above mentioned in the puer tea, it need two series for Yunnan origin sun drying maocha and  reprocessing: Direct processing into finished products of raw puer tea and After the artificial crash after the fermentation processing of ripe Puer tea, also divide into loose tea and compressed tea; After the finished product has continued to carry out the natural aging process, with the unique quality more older more aroma.

      In terms of the same quality, spring better endurance, more resistant to brew, autumn tea aroma is better, lingering charm rich. "Spring water Autumu aroma", Seeing the name of a thing one thinks of its function(顾名思义),spring tea tea soup taste enough, lingering charm enough, good taste and long aftertaste, autumn tea aroma is high, long lasting. Which is good, really hard to say clearly,  to see the tea friends of the tastes and preferences.
