1. Risks and common products of yellow tea
Yellow tea is really a thankless tea, and its production is quite risky, and it may not sell well!
You see, green tea is usually finished after picking, finishing, sorting and drying. But yellow tea is different, it has risks. Once it is not finished, it will become black tea instead of yellow tea, which is the route of black tea! You must know that green tea is sold as green tea, and it has high recognition and high value, after all, it is a traditional tea; As for yellow tea, it is no longer mainstream at the moment, and if it becomes black tea, it will be even less valuable.
Therefore, making yellow tea is risky. It is better to make green tea steadily, the market is good, and the price is good. Because of this, yellow tea has become a rare tea species.
What are the well-known yellow teas we can see at the moment? For example, there are Mengding yellow buds on Mengding Mountain in Sichuan. Mengding is not only the yellow buds of Mengding, but also nectar, which is green tea. To be precise, there are not as many people who make Mengding yellow buds as Mengding nectar, after all, it is too niche.
Moreover, many people mistakenly think that it is green tea in Junshan Silver Needle in Hunan, and even some people will guess whether Junshan Silver Needle is white tea when they see Baihao Silver Needle, but in fact, Junshan Silver Needle is also yellow tea. However, now in Junshan, it is not easy to drink authentic yellow tea, because there is a situation where yellow tea is made green. Although it is called the name of yellow tea, it is actually the end of the work, and the process of yellow tea is no longer carried out, and the result becomes green tea.
There are also Huoshan yellow buds in Anhui, and Moganshan also produces yellow buds. As I just mentioned, if this kind of bud tea is made into green tea, the price is not low because of the freshness of the buds.
Yellow tea is divided into three kinds according to the situation of buds and leaves, one is yellow bud tea, and one bud and one leaf are called yellow small tea, and all leaves are called yellow big tea. For example, the big leaf green in Guangdong belongs to Huangda tea. In addition, there is Wenzhou yellow soup produced in Wenzhou, and there is Weishan Maojian in Hunan, although it is called Maojian, it is actually yellow tea.
How many of these yellow teas have you heard of?
Basically, everyone may have a little impression of Junshan Silver Needle, and they may have heard of Huoshan Yellow Buds. Others, who are not specialized in tea, don't know what tea is. Why? Many times you only know about the name of this tea in the records or research books, and you know about this kind of tea, but if you really want to go to the local area, you may not be able to drink it. Just like going to Junshan, what you drink may not be authentic Junshan silver needles, but green tea. This is because many so-called yellow teas are practical in the process of green tea.
Therefore, everyone must figure out that the real yellow tea must go through the process mentioned above, and it must be stuffy yellow after finishing, and it must be stuffy while it is hot. Like the Junshan silver needle in the yellow bud tea now, the yellow bud of Huoshan Mengding, etc. If they are made into whole-bud green tea in early spring, they are already very precious and easy to sell. But yellow tea is not easy to sell, so why bother to make yellow tea? So a lot of the ones that have the name of yellow tea are actually green tea. In the final analysis, this situation is first determined by the market, and whether it sells well or not is critical; The second is the process decision, if the tea of green tea is green, it is made into green tea, the price is high, and the process is simple.
2. The inheritance and cognition of yellow tea
So why are we talking about yellow tea today?
That is to say, we hope that everyone must understand that if any tea is to be passed on, or its production technology can be preserved, it must be because there is a demand in the market. The market plays a decisive role, and if everyone no longer drinks yellow tea, then this tea may cease to exist in the future. After all, among the six major tea categories, yellow tea also has its unique status.
That's right, it's also unique, without yellow tea, how can there be semi-fermented and fully fermented tea later? Even if it's niche, it's a very important tea.
I think from a certain point of view, as every one of us who likes to drink tea, we should understand it and slowly get in touch with it.
You see, including now like Junshan Silver Needle, in recent years, I feel that there is a brand specializing in Junshan Silver Needle in operation, which is a good start. If you think about it, green tea has become popular before, oolong tea has become popular, black tea has also been popular, and white tea has been very popular in recent years. So, at least some people are paying attention to yellow tea. Yellow tea has an important position, it has a historical origin, and the quality of things is really good.
To put it bluntly, yellow tea is worthy of our attention and attention.
3. The taste and market situation of yellow tea
In terms of taste, we all know that many people like to drink green tea. However, if your body doesn't allow you to drink too much green tea, and you like the fresh taste, yellow tea is a good choice.
Yellow tea has a simmering process, the tea properties have changed, and the cold air has been removed a lot, but the basic taste of green tea is still retained. So, it's a bit blurred from green tea in its classification.
Because of this, whether it is the status of yellow tea in the tea industry or its position in the market, it is a bit difficult to find an accurate positioning, and the situation is more embarrassing. As we said before, when it comes to green tea, everyone knows it very well, and they all understand how to drink it. In recent years, oolong tea has become familiar to everyone. We often say that we drink green tea in summer, black tea in winter, and oolong all year round. Green tea, oolong tea, and black tea have all been mentioned, but where did yellow tea go? No one mentions it at all, no one pays attention to it, and this is really worth pondering.
Even now, tea lovers may wish to think about it, maybe this is also a business opportunity. When everyone is not paying attention, if we do it seriously and do it well, it is also a great thing.
That's right, it's a legacy. But inheritance should not only be for the sake of inheritance, but also to make it more suitable for the taste of the public. First of all, from the propaganda level, after all, yellow tea is an excellent tea product, and it is a pity that such a good tea feels lost. But on the other hand, it should also keep pace with the times and adapt to the market.
But let's be honest, is yellow tea any good? What does it taste like? I don't drink much myself, and sometimes I can't tell how different it is from green tea, which is really embarrassing! Next time, let's talk about the specific tasting experience and taste.
