Green tea is categorized into four processes: baked green tea, fried green tea, steamed green tea, and sun-dried green tea.
Green tea is a zero-fermented tea and needs to be stored under refrigerated conditions.
New tea has a certain degree of freshness, generally new tea cord intact and shiny, with a certain degree of gloss, not gray
At the same time, the aroma is pure, the tea broth is clear.
The next year's tea aroma fluctuates, the tea broth is slightly cloudy, which is the initial judgment from the appearance and a certain sense of view.
It is also a method that is easier for most tea lovers to master.
Now let's take a serious look at the properties of green tea.
The past and present life of green tea
Green tea is one of the most historic of the six major types of tea, and is the basis on which the other five types of tea were invented.
As early as three thousand years ago, mankind began to collect the leaves of a magical tree for drying and making, in order to be used as medicine and drink.
The process of steaming was discovered around 700 AD.
Around 1100 A.D., stir-frying was invented, and stir-frying is by far the most widely used green tea technology, and the invention of stir-frying also marks the perfection and maturity of the green tea production technology.
The subsequent emergence of baking green, sunshine green is rich in green tea production technology.
Due to the perfection of the green tea process and the exchange of markets, green tea has become one of the most productive teas in China.
Its footprint is spread throughout the major provinces and autonomous regions of China, which is the best representative of green tea should be counted: West Lake Longjing, Bi Luochun, Enshi Yulu, Yunnan sun green green hair tea.
Green tea
Green tea is an unfermented production, so the fresh leaves retain more natural substances, such as: catechins, tea polyphenols, amino acids, caffeine and so on.
The processing of green tea is relatively simple compared to other teas, and is divided into three steps: greening, kneading and drying.
Green tea is made from the young buds or new leaves of the tea tree without fermentation, and is characterized by green leaves, green broth, and green bottom, hence the name green tea.
There are many famous Chinese green teas, which are not only fragrant and long-lasting, but also unique, attracting the favor of many tea drinkers.
Green tea is also categorized into four types of teas because of the different ways of drying and greening: fried green, baked green, sun-dried green, and steamed green.
The most representative of fried green tea: West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Duyun Maojian, Xinyang Maojian and so on.
Roasted green most representative of the famous tea: Huangshan Mao Feng, Liu'an Gua Pian, Guzhu purple shoots, Jingting green tea and so on.
Steamed green green most representative of the famous tea: Enshi Yulu, water clouds and jade ballad, Yang Xian tea and so on. (At present, the steaming green tea products less, is the green tea category accounted for the smallest class of production methods.)
The most representative of the sun green green tea: Sichuan green, Guizhou green, Gui green, E green and so on.
For green tea, which is a race against time, it can be said that the fresher it is, the fresher it tastes.
Experiments have shown that under room temperature and light storage conditions, chlorophyll will decompose into theaflavin and so on.
The green tea leaves are yellowish-brown, which is also a small identification of green tea can be recognized to some extent whether the year (does not apply to the fried green tea) , so it is recommended that the green tea of the new tea for low-temperature, light and isolation of the oxygen of the storage of a small environment.
This will increase the shelf life of green tea.
I hope that the article of Tea Man Chen Xin can let you better understand Chinese tea.
Longjing tea, Biluochun tea, Huangshan Maofeng tea, Lushan Yunwu, Liu'an Guaibian, Mengding tea, Taiping Monkey Kui tea, Junshan Silver Needle tea, Guzhu Purple Bamboo Shoots tea, Xinyang Maojian tea, Pingshuizhu tea, Xishan tea, Yandang Maofeng tea, Huadingsunwu tea, Yongxi Huoqing tea, Jingting Green Snow tea, Emei Erui tea, Duyun Maojian tea, Enshi Yulu tea, Wuyuan Mingmei tea, rain flower tea, Mogan yellow bud tea, Wushan Gaimi tea, Putuo Buddha tea, jasmine tea.

It is usually made from green tea as tea blanks, while a few are also made from black or oolong tea. It is based on the characteristics of the tea leaves can easily absorb the odor, with fragrant flowers to celling material processing and become. The flower varieties used are jasmine, osmanthus and several other species, with jasmine being the most.
What kinds of green tea, how to distinguish between good green tea and new tea?
In the six teas, green tea has a jealousy of the fame and status, first of all, green tea was first invented, and then there are other types of tea, or many types of tea is borrowed from the green tea process. Green tea appeared early, and production is also the largest, almost all over the country have manufacturing green tea production areas, no wonder people drink green tea so much, not only because of the green tea aroma and flavor, but also because of the green tea production areas, production, more categories.
So how many green tea categories, in the end, how many kinds? If the green tea processing technology to divide, then divided into fried green tea, steamed green tea, sun green tea, baked green tea. We can literally understand, fried green tea is the use of a roller or pan to fry the way to kill the green, and steam green tea is the use of steam to kill the green, sun green green tea is the use of sunlight to dry the tea, baking green tea is the use of heating equipment to dry the tea, so that the above four kinds of green tea is based on their different ways of killing and drying way to divide.
If the tea leaves are divided according to the shape, then it can be divided into flat, single bud, straight, curved, curved screw, ball-shaped, orchid-shaped, slice-shaped, lump-shaped, bouquet-shaped and so on green tea. If divided according to the season, can be divided into spring tea, summer tea, fall tea.
Green tea has distinctive features that make it easy to recognize it from many teas. First of all, because of the green tea greening process, so it retains a lot of chlorophyll, so green tea is characterized by clear soup green leaves, fresh and long-lasting aroma, fresh and mellow taste. Green tea categories, more famous tea, such as the West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Mao Feng, Dongting Biluochun, Mount Lu Yunwu, Xinyang Mao Jian, Liu'an Gua Pian, Anji white tea and so on. Green tea is known as the four best, beautiful shape, color green, fragrance, taste mellow.
As mentioned earlier, there are many kinds of green tea, when we understand the general appearance of green tea and the characteristics of the inner texture, then it can be well identified, such as green tea in the representative of the tea "Xihu Longjing", which is flat-shaped, straight, smooth, Longjing color is green and moist, with a clear aroma, fresh and mellow flavor and crisp, with typical green tea four best characteristics, the color is green, the aroma is fresh, mellow and crisp. It has the typical characteristics of the four best green teas.
Green tea is to drink new not to drink the old, separated by a year of green tea is called stale tea, and the state of green tea stale tea is not popular, not only the aroma is not apparent, the taste is not fresh, not fresh alcohol, in short, is not good.
So how do we recognize new green tea and old green tea? First, look at the appearance, there is no color or yellowish may be old tea. Second, smell the aroma, did not smell the fragrance, the aroma is very low, or there is a stale gas and other unpleasant odors, it may be old tea. Third, brewing, drink to see if the taste of new tea that fresh flavor, if not, it may be old tea.
The above is Zhan's shallow opinion, welcome to correct.
