Regarding Pu-erh tea's "Yuechen
Yuexiang", this is one of the core issues of Pu-erh tea, and it is also
the most controversial issue. It is said that "Chen xiang" is the
concept of time, and "the more fragrant" is the concept of matter. “Yuechen
Yuexiang” actually involves the most valuable core content of the following
three aspects of Pu-erh tea:
One: time
How long can Pu-erh tea's "Chen xiang"
be aged for ten years, twenty years, fifty years, one hundred years, and even
longer. In the packaging of its tea products, such words are often used, and
the storage conditions are "clean, ventilated, protected from light, dry,
no odor, no pollution, long-term preservation".
There is still no scientific conclusion
about the "Chen xiang" of Pu-erh tea. This is mainly based on the direct
relationship between the raw materials, process and storage of tea products.
Therefore, the concept of “Chen xiang” is not only the biggest difference
between Pu-erh tea and green tea, but also one of the core values of Pu-erh
tea. It is not Pu-erh tea without “Chen Xiang”. In turn, the extension of the “Chen
Xiang” time provides a time guarantee for the continued degradation and
transformation of the inherent substances in Pu-erh tea.
Two: the transformation of matter
"Chen Xiang" is the concept of time, and "the more fragrant" is the concept of
matter. "The more fragrant" is the embodiment of the essence of tea. Taking
the aromatic substances of Pu-erh tea as an example (that is, the aroma
expressed), the newly processed Pu-erh tea (new tea) has about 40 or 50
kinds of aromatic substances. The gas is very heavy. However, the detection
of Pu-erh tea, which has been stored for 50 years, has only seven to nine
aromatic substances.
This shows that the aroma of Pu-erh tea is not static. Moreover, in the
post-fermentation of Pu-erh tea, the evolution of its aroma has a tendency to
transform into a singular direction. Among them, the gradually dominant
aromatic substance is oxidized scented alcohol, which belongs to the aromatic
substance with special scent type, and is often called elegant scent.
Therefore, the true meaning of Pu-erh tea is "Yuechen Yuexiang", which is the
content of Pu-erh tea, such as tea polyphenols, tea saponins, caffeine and
other substances slowly complexed and transformed by the action of
enzymes.
Three: nutrients and medicinal value
Tea polyphenols are a big concept relative to tea chemistry. After all, tea
polyphenols contain too much material, and a large amount of substances have
not been found and confirmed.
Tea polyphenols are not drugs, and only after being properly degraded and
converted to produce new derivatives, such derivatives may produce medicinal
functions. And this process happens to belong to the category of
biotechnology. Pu-erh tea's "more fragrant" is a representation of typical
biological processes and results. The degradation and transformation of
organisms takes time, which is the process of “more aging”, and “Fruit” not
only represents a special aroma, but also gives more to the concept of quality.
Pu-erh tea with "more aged more fragrance" concept, we may take through the
above three aspects of interpretation, it is not difficult to conclude: Pu-erh tea,
in addition to the taste of wine, but also has a collection value and financial
value. Of course, the focus is still on the value of its drink. For tea lovers who
are excessively pursuing Pu-erh tea (especially old tea with a certain number
of years), they also need a rational choice. suggestions below:
The first point: Do not blindly pursue "mountain tea"
There are many varieties of Pu-erh tea in Yunnan, such as wild tea, ancient tea,
terraced tea, new tea, old tea, Pu-erh raw tea, Pu-erh cooked tea, sun-dried,
baked green, glutinous rice fermentation, dry warehouse, wet warehouse,
cake, brick, and glutinous rice. There are many nouns for the column. For
ordinary collectors, it is difficult to understand in a short time. In addition, the
size of the tea area is as big as a cow, and the number of well-known hills is
lower. Even the veterans of the rivers and lakes will inevitably be smashed.
The second point: don't blindly pursue "ancient" and "old"
Although Pu-erh tea is said to be more and more fragrant, the old tea that is
circulating in the market has been stored for 20 to 30 years. The Pu-erh tea is
still very rare. Now there are some so-called "Chen Pie" on the market that sell
for a thousand dollars, not the old tea.
