When is the time to pick the first spring tea? What's the difference between it and Erchun tea?

March is the spring tea picking season. Those who know a little about tea will know that the leaves of spring tea are very tender, and the quality will be better than that of tea picked at other times, but in spring tea, different qualities also have great differences. Like the second spring although it is also spring tea, but the quality is lower spring a lot. Today's small editor introduces you to the time of picking the first spring tea? What's the difference between it and spring tea?

1. When is the time to pick the first spring tea?

The first wave of tea picked in spring is the first spring tea as long as it is the first harvest of the new year. For China's famous tea, the first spring tea represents the highest quality. But even if it is the first spring tea, different kinds of tea are picked at different times. Green tea first spring tea time can generally be extended from February to March, and some high-altitude tea areas, the first spring tea picking time is later.

What is the difference between it and spring tea?

Because of drought in Yunnan, the first spring leaf development time is different in many places, so we use the time of the masses to define it.

February: Early April to late April

End of spring: late April to early May

Summer Tea: Mid-May

Autumn Tea: Mid-September

From this time period, we can see that the spring tea first spring, second spring, end spring interval is the shortest, autumn tea to spring tea, but it is the longest, in the fresh leaves, after picking, tea needs to absorb nutrients and water, from the soil to the roots, and then dispersed to the branches and buds. The first spring interval is the longest. On the one hand, the growth time of tea tree is lengthened, and the time of nutrient uptake from soil is increased, so the nutrients of leaves are high, which also determines the quality of tea.

From the growth state can perceive the nutrients of tea leaves, and from the actual, how to identify? This is a delicate problem, from tea leaves fresh, or dry tea, or leaf bottom, there is no way. The first spring of tea tree, because of the long growth cycle, so many nutrients, from our tea four points, can be compared.

1, the gas belongs to the high Yang obvious, rich, easy to feel.

2, tea soup fragrance: tea aroma is the most important point, tea aroma is rich, if each bubble has obvious aroma, tea selection must be good.

3. Taste of tea soup: first spring tea, long growth cycle, more nutrients, tea soup entrance, you can feel the consistency of tea soup, on the tongue surface as if it contains a lot of colloid, rather than light as water flavor. (Of course, this is something that many tea products can do, but the first spring tea soup is definitely the best to enjoy on the tongue.)

4. Time of sweet return: After the tea soup enters, sweet rhyme will be produced in the whole mouth or tongue surface, and the sweet rhyme will be retained for a relatively long time. If it is the second spring, or the end of spring, you can feel that the sweet rhyme of tea soup will be produced after the entrance, but the stay time is very short.
