First of all, let's take a look at what a single bud, a bud and a leaf mean:
The tender shoots with spreading leaves after tea bud germination are called new shoots, which can be divided into one bud, one leaf and one bud and two leaves according to the number of spreading leaves. The picked tea leaves are raw materials for making tea with one bud and one leaf or one bud and two leaves, and single bud tea is raw materials directly picked after new buds germinate.
Single bud tea
Single bud tea is also called single bud tea, that is, tea with buds and no leaves.
One bud and one leaf
One bud and one leaf: the full bud head is very attractive, and the first leaf is very tender.
then
From the relationship between the nutritional components of bud leaves and the position of picking leaves, the effect on tea quality was studied.
1. The bud head is rich in amino acids and multivitamins. Amino acids are the main components that form the freshness of tea and the important substances that form the aroma of tea. These two leaves are rich in tea polyphenols and alkaline substances.
2. The tenderness of picking can also be said to be the maturity of tea. Bud is the most tender, followed by one bud and one leaf, and one bud and two leaves are relatively old. The results showed that the content of tea polyphenols increased with the increase of tenderness, but there was no obvious difference in amino acid content.
In the market, the single bud is favored by its unique shape and once became a gimmick of merchants. Single bud picking is very hard, time-consuming and laborious, with delicate bud head and fine processing. In order to keep shape, we should be more careful when fixing and twisting. Therefore, single-bud tea is very expensive, and in many cases it is expensive because the output is scarce and the cost of picking and making is high.
Therefore, combined with the market, compared with the two, the water extract of one-bud-one-leaf tea is obviously increased, and it is better as a tea raw material. Therefore, the yield of high-quality and high-grade tea made from new shoots of one bud and one leaf tea is twice as high as that of single bud, with better quality and lower cost.
Tea is neither good nor bad. It's delicious. When choosing tea, everyone makes a decision according to their own preferences and actual situation. If you want to taste good things, buy less, at least know what good tea tastes like; If you drink it every day, as a ration tea, it will be more suitable to choose a cost-effective one. We can taste and experience the quality of single bud tea, but we don't encourage blind pursuit.
