Since ancient times, the folk have "high mountain clouds out of good tea", which is true or false? Which contains what kind of scientific reasoning? Today let us together to explore the impact of high mountain mist on the quality of tea.
Suitable climate: a breeding ground for tea aroma
The alpine region has a cool climate, with a large temperature difference between day and night, and abundant but soft light. The unique natural conditions provide an excellent environment for the growth of tea trees.
1. Difference in temperature between day and night creates a rich aroma.
During the day, sufficient light promotes photosynthesis of tea leaves, producing a large amount of aromatic substances. At night, the cooler temperatures slow down the respiration of tea leaves, accumulating more amino acids and soluble sugars. This "hot and cold effect" of alternating day and night is like a well-modulated music, giving tea a rich and fragrant aroma.
2. Cloudiness adds freshness and flavor
The high mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, as if putting a light veil on the tea trees. The clouds and mist cover part of the sunlight, so that the tea grows slowly and the leaves are more tender. At the same time, the water in the clouds is also absorbed by the tea trees, making the tea rich in amino acids and tea polyphenols, enhancing the freshness of the tea.
Fertile soil: Fertile soil for cultivating tea leaves
The soil in the alpine region has been baptized by thousands of years of wind, rain and snow, forming a deep, loose, organic-rich, high-quality soil. This fertile soil provides sufficient nutrients for the tea trees to thrive.
1. Unique geology nurturing mineral aroma
The soil in high mountain areas is rich in iron, potassium, phosphorus and many other minerals. These minerals, which are important elements in the formation of aroma substances in tea, give tea its unique floral, fruity and honeyed aroma.
2. Humus soil adds richness to the flavor
The soil in high mountainous areas is rich in humus due to the accumulation of dead branches and leaves from the lush vegetation. Humus contains a large amount of organic matter, which not only provides sufficient nitrogen for the tea tree, but also promotes the growth of beneficial flora and enhances the mellowness of the tea.
Ecological environment: building the cornerstone of tea quality
The ecological environment of the alpine region is far away from pollution, with fresh air and pure water. This superior natural environment provides favorable ecological conditions for the growth of tea.
1. Clean air creates pure tea flavor
Alpine areas are far away from sources of pollution and the air is clean and dust-free. Tea trees grow in such an environment, and the aromatic substances they contain are purer and free from impurities and off-flavors.
2. Quality water source for sweet taste
The rainwater and spring water from the high mountain area is filtered through layers of rocks, rich in minerals and free from pollution. This sweet rainwater and spring water nourishes the tea trees, making the tea soup color bright and taste sweet.
Artisanal Craftsmanship: Sublimating the Soul of Tea Quality
The quality tea leaves nurtured by the high mountain clouds and mist still need to be processed through exquisite craftsmanship before they can be finally transformed into the fragrant tea in our hands.
1. Superb harvesting techniques to preserve freshness
Tea picking usually requires manual labor to go up the mountain early in the morning and select the fresh buds and leaves to be hand-picked. This is not only to ensure the quality of the tea, but also reflects the respect and love of the tea farmers for the tea.
2. Unique processing technology creates unique flavors
Tea is processed with different withering, kneading and drying procedures according to the characteristics of different tea types. Exquisite processing techniques not only maximize the freshness and aroma of the tea, but also give the tea a unique flavor.
Taste the fragrance of the top of the mountain clouds and mist
Alpine clouds and mist out of good tea, not an empty cave. The unique natural environment lays the foundation for the quality of high mountain tea. And the exquisite craftsmanship and artisanal spirit, will be the gift of nature's precious flavor, perfectly presented. Take a cup of tea and feel the rich and fragrant aroma, the sweet and mellow flavor, as well as the natural beauty and humanistic feelings contained in the high mountain clouds and mist. This is not only the enjoyment of taste buds, but also the cleansing of the soul.
