Because of the different origin and brewing methods, the taste of black tea is so subjective I believe that even if you break your head, you can't spell out who is the "best to drink". I like the honey of arsenic A and arsenic B very much, and others may find it boring, while others like the bergamot flavor, which I always find hard to accept ~ I recommend several black tea brands that I have drunk, so I can try more and find my favorite taste and practice. Here are some recognized black teas, and there is always one for you.
1, Qimen Kung Fu
Qimen Gongfu black tea is a treasure in China traditional Gongfu black tea, and its production history is over 100 years. Mainly produced in Qimen County, Anhui Province, with a small amount of production in Shitai, Dongzhi, yi county, Guichi and other counties around. The annual output is about 50 thousand tons. Qi Hong Kung Fu is famous for its exquisite appearance, bright colors and rich aroma, and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.
Qi Hong congou tea is compact and beautiful, with good seedlings and dark gray color, commonly known as "Baoguang". Its inherent aroma is rich and long, like honey, and contains orchid flowers. The soup is bright red in color, mellow in taste, meaningful in aftertaste, and tender, smooth and bright at the bottom of leaves. Qimen black tea is of high quality and is known as "the best in the group", which is inseparable from the superior natural ecological environment conditions in Qimen area. It accounts for about 65% of the total area of tea gardens in the county. These tea gardens have fertile land, high humus content, large temperature difference between morning and evening, frequent fog and short sunshine time, which constitute the natural environment for the growth of tea trees and lead to special aroma and strong "Qi Hong" taste.
2. Dianhong Kung Fu
Dianhong congou tea, a kind of congou tea with big leaves, is mainly produced in Lincang and Baoshan, Yunnan. As a rising star of China congou tea, it is famous for its plump and compact appearance, exposed golden hair and rich flavor. The appearance of Dianhong Kung Fu is compact, plump and majestic. The color of dry tea is moist and golden, the soup is bright and translucent, the aroma is fresh and long, and the taste is strong and refreshing. Red and tender leaves, unique to China, are world-famous Kung Fu black tea.
Due to the different harvest time, the quality of Dianhong Gongfu also has seasonal differences. Generally, spring tea is better than summer and autumn tea. Spring tea strips are fat, with heavy bones, good cleanliness and tender and even leaves. Summer tea is in the rainy season, with fast growth of buds and leaves and long internodes. Although the buds are exposed, the clarity is low and the leaves are slightly hard and miscellaneous. Autumn tea is in a dry and cool season, and the growth and metabolism of tea trees are weakened. The finished tea is lighter in bone, lower in purity and less tender than tea in spring and summer. One of its quality characteristics is the appearance of Yunnan red kungfu velvet. Its milli-color can be divided into light yellow, chrysanthemum yellow and golden yellow. The congou teas in Fengqing, Yunxian and Changning are mostly chrysanthemum yellow, while those in Menghai, Shuangkang, Lincang and Puwen are mostly golden yellow. In the same tea garden, the milli-color collected in spring is generally pale, mostly light yellow, the milli-color of summer tea is mostly chrysanthemum yellow, and the autumn tea is mostly golden yellow.
Dianhong Kung Fu has a strong fragrance. The tea in Yunxian, Fengqing and Changning in western Yunnan has a good aroma, especially the congou tea produced in some areas of Yunxian has a long and rich aroma. Kung fu tea in southern Yunnan tea area has a strong taste and strong irritation, while that in western Yunnan tea area is mellow and slightly less irritating, but the aftertaste is fresh and refreshing.
3. Politics and Time
Zheng He's Kung Fu can be divided into two types: big tea and small tea. The big tea is Zhenghe Dabai tea, which is the top grade of the three great kungfu teas in Minhong. The shape is compact, the appearance is fat and dense, the color is dark, the soup is red, the aroma is fresh and the taste is strong, and the leaves are fat and red. Small tea is made of lobular seeds, with thin and tight strips, which are as fragrant as Qi Hong, but not long-lasting. The soup is slightly shallow, with mellow taste and even red leaves. Politics and Kung Fu take big tea as the main body, publicize its advantages of rich fragrance, and properly combine small tea with high fragrance, so senior politics and Kung Fu are particularly well-balanced, revealing their feelings and overflowing with fragrance. A hundred years of politics and hard work, once it comes out, will be famous. /kloc-in the middle of 0/9th century, the output reached more than 10,000 tons. After the war, the tea garden was deserted, and the output by 1949 was only over 900 tons. Since then, efforts have been made to restore the traditional quality style, and the output and quality have rebounded. After the 1960s, due to the restructuring of green tea, only a small amount of production was maintained with an annual output of about 800 tons.
4. Tan Yang Kung Fu
