What is the difference between Da Hong Pao and black tea, and does Da Hong Pao belong to black tea

Tea Encyclopedia: Is Da Hong Pao black tea?

One thing must be made clear about Xiao Chen's tea matter, Da Hong Pao is not black tea, but oolong tea. Most of the big red robes on the market now are blended with big red robes.

The blending here is more like a restoration. Through the coordination and compatibility of various raw materials, a rock tea can be as close as possible to the mother tree of the year in terms of aroma and taste. It is precisely with the existence of blending that there is a possibility of continuity in the big red robe.

The raw materials are good, and the mountain farm is from a good background. In addition, the magical blending technology can play a 1+1 2 effect.

The existence of blending technology is intended to learn from each other's strengths. Among the many varieties of Wuyi rock tea, there are only a few teas that have achieved a comprehensive and balanced development of aroma, taste, soup and charm.

Often, in a rock tea, there is fragrance but no water, the tea fragrance is high, but the tea soup is less mellow.

Otherwise, the tea soup is mellow and full enough, but the aroma is the same as that of elm, and the tea fragrance is really lackluster.

However, the existence of blending technology makes it very necessary. By making up for the shortcomings, the flavor of a rock tea can be played perfectly.
