There is another kind"Crab tea"The taste is creamy, the leaves are slender and black and green, and the shape is very different from that of Kannon.

Distinguish whether it is true Guanyin tea, such as the above methods can be distinguished. However, at present, it is difficult to buy real Tieguanyin tea in Fuzhou and other places, and most of the unscrupulous tea merchants use methods such as blending tea with tea to mix tea and blend tea in order to pursue high profits"Upscale"of"Tieguanyin. A so-called alpine frozen top oolong sold on the market has a strong creamy flavor, and the actual tea is"Crab tea", it's not Tieguanyin at all, and it's not anything"Frozen top oolong", to see whether the tea is mixed up, one is to look at the leaf color, if it is pure, there is no variegation, if there is a mixture of yellow, green and dark green, that is, it is a mixed tea, for inferior tea, the second is to look at the leaf shape after brewing, such as Tieguanyin, one is a purple stem, long stalk, thick leaves, sparse teeth, tea flavor without strong fragrance, slightly sweet and sour, such as **, for the positive Tieguanyin, otherwise it is false.

The second is to taste the taste of tea, if it is a mixed tea, the tea taste is mixed, although there is a strong fragrance, the tea is bitter and difficult to swallow, this is good and inferior, and it is the most common trick used by tea merchants, shoddy, in order to make huge profits.

When buying tea, you should pay attention to the selection of quality, and you can't be misled by tea merchants to buy ** tea. If you need to buy ** tea, you should taste more and see more to avoid being deceived.

Tea evaluation is a comprehensive evaluation of six factors of tea shape, color, aroma, taste, soup color and leaf bottom through human senses (sight, smell, taste and touch). The evaluation method is a two-pronged process: "dry look" and "wet assessment of the endoplasm (flushing blisters)".

1. Appearance: Mainly to observe the appearance, color, uniformity and aroma of tea and rice of Tieguanyin. Where the appearance is fat, heavy, the color is sand green, and the aroma of dry tea (tea rice) is pure, this kind of tea, that is, the characteristics of Guanyin, are obviously the top tea, and the opposite is the inferior tea.

2. Wet evaluation quality: After the tea is brewed with boiling water, its aroma, soup color, taste and leaf bottom are identified.

1) Smell the aroma: first smell whether the aroma is prominent, and then distinguish the aroma between high and low, long, strong and weak, and dull. When smelling incense, a combination of hot, warm and cold smelling is used. Where the aroma is prominent, the aroma is high, and the fragrance is long, it is the best grade; Otherwise, it is a defective product.

2) Taste: Scoop an appropriate amount of tea soup with a teaspoon (not too much), and suck and roll in the mouth through the tongue, so that the taste cells in various parts of the mouth can make a comprehensive taste sense. All those with mellow taste, mellow and refreshing, thick but not astringent, and rich in the characteristics of variety "charm" are all of the highest grade; Otherwise, it is a defective product.

3) Look at the color of the soup: look at the color of the tea soup, light and dark, turbidity, etc. Where the soup is orange and bright (referred to as mung bean soup) is the top grade; The turbid ones are defective.

4) Look at the bottom of the leaves: The tea leaves brewed with boiling water (called "leaf bottom", commonly known as "tea residue") are poured into a dish filled with water and the bottom of the leaves is observed. Where the bottom of the leaf is soft, yellow and bright, and the "green pedicle green belly red border" is obvious, it is the top grade; Otherwise, it is a defective product.

Beginners are often instilled with some wrong concepts by some tea merchants and salesmen when buying Tieguanyin, among which the salesmen mostly confuse consumers with the fragrance type, so that consumers think that the high fragrance is a good Tieguanyin. Tieguanyin does pay attention to incense, but not the more fragrant, the better. Tieguanyin with good aroma grows mostly in high-altitude mountainous areas, where there are many clouds and mist, sunlight diffusion, strong ultraviolet rays, and more aromatic substances are accumulated in the tea part, and the tea leaves are thick and soft, and the tenderness is strong.

The fragrance is pure for the beauty, and the cover fragrance and the soup fragrance are the same, some good tea fragrance will have a faint floral fragrance, and the high-end tea is better in the alpine area around Gande Town, and the Tieguanyin in these places can generally make high-quality tea fragrance, and the price is more expensive. In addition, a good tea aroma is related to its variety.

Tieguanyin, as the name suggests, is as heavy as iron and shaped like Guanyin. Therefore, from the point of view of appearance, the high-quality Tieguanyin should be tight and heavy. If Tieguanyin's appearance is loose, it is very ordinary.

From the color point of view, because Tieguanyin drinks fresh and aroma, therefore, the color is emerald green, if its color has turned brown, then its aroma is no longer fresh, and the taste is not sweet. From the point of view of taste and taste, the high-quality taste should be fresh, sweet and fragrant, if its water taste, or with a sour taste, or with an unnatural aroma (some unpopular merchants will add flavor to the tea to improve the aroma, this aroma is unnatural), or the bitter taste is not good. In addition, it is the feeling of drinking tea, if you taste the tea, the aroma in the mouth is long, and the effect of shengjin is obvious, then it is definitely a good tea!

The general drinking of Tieguanyin can be from"Look, listen, color, smell, taste, taste, pinch dry and wet, clarity"Start by identifying the good and bad teas.

Look: high-quality Tieguanyin tea strips are curly, strong knots, heavy, in the shape of a green pedicle and a green belly dragonfly, the color is fresh and moist, the sand is green, the red spots are bright, and the leaves are band hoarfrost.

Listen to the sound: fine tea is tighter than the general tea, the leaf body is heavy, take a small amount of tea leaves and put it into the teapot, you can hear the sound of "dangdang", its sound is crisp and crisp, and the dumb one is second.

Color: The color of the soup is golden, bright and clear, the bottom of the leaf is thick and bright after the tea is brewed (one of the characteristics of Tieguanyin tea, the back of the leaf is curved), with a silk luster, which is the top, and the soup color is dark red.

Smell: The fragrance of the high-quality Tieguanyin tea soup is fresh, and the cup is lightly smelled when the lid is opened, and its unique aroma is fragrant and fragrant, and it is rich and long-lasting, which makes people feel intoxicated. It has the reputation of "seven bubbles with residual fragrance".

Recent experimental studies at home and abroad have shown that Anxi Tieguanyin contains the most abundant types of aroma components, and the proportion of aroma components at medium and low boiling points is significantly greater than that of oolong tea made from fresh leaves of other varieties of tea trees. Therefore, the unique aroma of Anxi Tieguanyin is pleasant and intoxicating, a cup of Tieguanyin, the lid of the cup is immediately fragrant, and the room is full of fragrance.

Rhyme: The ancients had a wonderful saying that "before tasting the taste of nectar, first smell the holy fragrance". Take a sip, the root of the tongue is lightly turned, and you can feel the mellow and sweet tea soup; Swallow slowly, with a dense aftertaste and endless charm.

As for the unique "Guanyin rhyme", what is the meaning? So far, the tea people have not been able to explain clearly, so they have to leave it to the future generations to judge, which is also the charm of Anxi Tieguanyin.

Pinch dry and wet: Pinch the tea leaves with your fingers to judge the dryness and wetness of the new tea.

Clarity: It mainly depends on whether the tea leaves are mixed with tea chips, tea stems, tea powders and other inclusions mixed in the production process.

First, look at dry tea.

Good Tieguanyin dry tea into a bean-shaped Yingla-shaped, uniform shape, no stems, no crumbs, the color is dark green and oily, yellow-green, or frog skin green, the old tea is darker, even bird black, dry tea luster is obvious, if there are many tea stems, tea crumbs a lot, it may be uncarefully selected hair tea or very low-grade tea. If the color of the tea leaves is too green. If there is a feeling of dryness, it is likely that the pigment has been added, so it cannot be purchased.

2. Smell the dry tea.

The aroma of dry tea is not as obvious as after brewing, there is a strong tea aroma, with green grass Tieguanyin tea and a faint orchid fragrance, if the smell of the fragrance is stronger, there is a problem with the tea and there is a jasmine fragrance on the market. That kind is to add aroma or put spices near the tea, because Tieguanyin tea absorbs peculiar smell very quickly, so tea farmers can not use cosmetics, nail polish, wind oil essence, or even wash their hands with soap, otherwise the brewed tea will have a strong peculiar smell. There are tea merchants who disturb the use.

Put something aromatic around the tea to change the aroma of the tea. Misleading consumers.

3. Try the tea. Generally, when buying tea, you can ask to try tea, especially Tieguanyin tea due to the different tastes of each person, you can choose more suitable tea for yourself, generally speaking, people who smoke and drink alcohol have a heavier taste, and they should choose a strong soup. As for the tea aroma is selected according to personal preference, when trying tea, can not be subject to the first brew, the first brew when the tea is absorbing water, has not completely expanded, the taste of tea is not completely into the soup, the second brew of tea is really out of taste. When trying the tea, you should first look at the tea soup, smell the soup fragrance, and then taste, the soup is clear and excited, the water color is light yellow with green for the top grade, the throat is soft, there is a sweet feeling in the throat after a few cups (commonly known as returning sweet), if you find that the first cup is returned to the sweetness, then the tea is likely to add licorice sundries, of course, tens of thousands of yuan a pound of Tieguanyin rock tea can be a cup of sweetness, and the entrance is like oil.

If you feel that the tip of the tongue is sweet, this kind of tea is the use of artificial additives, smell the tea when there is a sense of grass green, with orchid fragrance, some tea will also have a faint milk aroma, the general tea needs to be processed in time after picking, and multiple processes are manual processing, so the number of each batch of tea can not be more, good tea has 5 catties - 10 catties at a time has been buried Tong Da, such as a few dozen catties or even hundreds of catties at a time, that is a very low grade tea. Then someone asked, how to choose tea when buying tea online, it is very simple, that is, the seller with a good reputation buys it, and looks at the evaluation of other customers before buying.

The ** of tea is high and low, depending on the economic level of the individual, it is not necessarily said that **high must be good tea, **low is inferior tea.

The easiest way to identify Tieguanyin is to taste different kinds of Tieguanyin together.

Each cup can distinguish the good from the bad.

It's hard to identify. You'll know after drinking for a long time.
