First, because the value of old white tea naturally stored and properly preserved is higher than that of new tea in the market, many tea processors now add processes to the original tea processing to produce products with similar appearance and taste to old tea, which can be sold as aged tea to obtain greater commercial benefits.

Second, correctly and rationally understand Fuding white tea and Fuding old white tea.

As a healthy drink, white tea is rich in tea polyphenols, theanine, tea polysaccharide and other beneficial substances, which has the functions of lowering blood lipid, reducing free radicals and resisting radiation. Proper drinking is beneficial to body and mind. Studies have found that the normal storage of old white tea is more effective than new white tea in some places (mainly in bacteriostasis, hypoglycemic and so on). ). The number of old white teas in the market is limited. Because old white tea is difficult to distinguish and the reliable price is high, it is suggested that ordinary consumers should not pursue old white tea too much, and it is most important to find tea that suits their taste.

1. White tea stored in Fuding White Tea Traditional Tea Factory in the early years.

In the early days, Fuding white tea was mainly exported. In the evaluation criteria of foreign tea merchants for China white tea, the freshness of tea is very important, so the general tea processing plants will try their best to make white tea with a gray-green appearance and a fragrant taste. At the same time, sell tea as early as possible in the new tea season in order to withdraw funds and make profits. In the foreign white tea market at that time, the value of old tea was lower than that of new tea, so under normal circumstances, tea merchants would not deliberately keep old tea. Fuding tea merchants began to consciously store a large number of white tea around 20 10. At that time, the fuding city government organized tea merchants to participate in the Shanghai World Expo, and then conducted a series of publicity activities through the media. Fuding white tea has been recognized by consumers in China.

2. White tea returned from abroad in the market.

The freshness of exported white tea is one of the evaluation criteria. In foreign markets, tea merchants will try their best to sell the tea in stock before buying new tea, instead of sealing the stock and purchasing new tea to sell. Moreover, these so-called backflow old white teas on the market are generally from countries in Southeast Asia. The humidity in these areas is high, and white tea is extremely afraid of moisture, so it is difficult to have well-preserved old tea. Traditionally, Fuding white tea is generally exported to Europe and America, while white tea in Southeast Asia is mainly produced in politics and producing areas.

3. New tea is old white tea with old technology.

Some unscrupulous tea merchants and tea factories use abnormal production techniques to make some new teas. Do old? Become? Old tea? So as to sell the so-called higher in the market? Cost performance? Products to get more benefits. The main production methods are watering, stacking fermentation, gentle kneading and so on. Its main purpose is to darken the appearance of tea leaves and make them taste heavier. Wet warehouse? Taste. This practice is easy to produce mold, and long-term drinking is not conducive to physical and mental health.
