You have to know the reason why white tea is fragile.

Why did you come to your own white tea?

Is it so fragile?

It's the poor quality of the tea.

It's still the wrong way to save it.

Maybe you have the answer you want!

Wen | Xiaobai

01

Early in the morning, Lao Bai was called up to help prepare all kinds of packaging supplies to be used in a few days.

Plastic bags, aluminum bags and cartons can not be left behind. only in this way can autumn white tea withstand the fatigue of the next ride.

When he was very busy, a message sent by a tea friend attracted the attention of Xiaobai.

It turned out that the tea friend was afraid that this year's autumn tea could not stand transportation and was so badly damaged on the road that it was broken to pieces when he got it.

Indeed, whether it is new tea or old tea, as long as a little effort in the hand, it is very easy to break.

Some tea lovers even wonder if there is something wrong with the quality of tea.

Therefore, Xiaobai must answer for tea friends why white tea is so fragile and whether it is caused by quality or not.

02

White tea is particularly fragile, why is it related to water content?

I would like to ask who drinks tea does not want to make their own tea, the leaves are intact without debris!

However, when some tea friends are brewing white tea, they find that after the leaves are taken out, they are all broken into pieces. What fun is there to make tea like this?

So some people began to wonder if there was something wrong with the quality of the tea, which is why it was so fragile.

In this regard, Xiaobai really wants to say "wronged" for white tea!

In fact, white tea is fragile and has something to do with the water content of leaves.

According to the current requirements of the national standard, the water content of white tea can not exceed 8.5% at the time of production, which actually lowers the threshold for white tea production.

However, in order to ensure long-term storage of Xiaobai's white tea, the water content will be controlled below 7%.

From this we can see that after the white tea is made, it is actually very dry!

Just like the fallen leaves falling from the trees in autumn, compared with the fresh leaves growing on the trees in spring, the fallen leaves must be more easily crushed.

Therefore, the white tea in the hands of tea leaves is also very fragile.

03

Then why is the silver needle not fragile?

In fact, not any of the three varieties of white tea is fragile, and the silver needle is a special case.

Tea must not think that the silver needle is not fragile, it is caused by excessive moisture when it is made, which is a great grievance.

Put the silver needle and peony, Shoumei together, use the same strength to press them, you will find that the latter two are more easily broken.

This is because silver needles are mainly bud heads, which are wrapped in layer after layer of small leaves, just like bamboo shoots in spring.

So it is easy to break it in pairs, but difficult to crush it.

But peony and Shoumei have leaves, so after withering and drying, the leaves look very fragile!

This is why, when brewing white tea, most of the tea friends are peony and Shoumei.

04

How can white tea be preserved so that it won't break easily?

We need to understand that white tea is fragile mainly because of external pressure during transportation and storage.

After receiving the tea, the tea friends were ready to brew with joy, but as soon as they opened the package, they saw a lot of crumbs.

That must not be in the mood for tea!

This is mainly because the white tea is not well protected in the process of transportation, and it stumbles along the way, which will eventually make the complete dry tea into crumbs.

However, tea friends can rest assured about Xiaobai's white tea, because Xiaobai will pack it carefully before transportation.

In order to prevent the tea from being hit by the outside world, and there is a large area of injury.

Secondly, tea friends should be more careful when preserving white tea.

Because the white tea may be broken instantly under external pressure during storage, it is best to use the standard preservation method.

Sealed with aluminum bags, plastic bags and cartons, and cartons because of a certain stress capacity, so in use can best ensure the safety of tea oh!

05

The fact that white tea is fragile does not mean that its quality is poor, but it is a manifestation of the dryness of tea.

And such tea, after the role of the years, the final transformation is bound to be a pleasant surprise.

At the same time, tea friends should not dislike the broken white tea too much, because for it, even if it is broken, the taste and aroma still exist.

On the contrary, it is the white tea that is flexible and not easy to break and crush, so you should be more careful, because the water content of such white tea may not be up to standard, so no matter how it is preserved.

Well, I hope what Xiaobai said today will be of new help to tea friends' understanding of white tea.
