Why is Anji white tea called white tea?

The reason why Anji white tea is called "white tea" is because its tree species is called "White Leaf No. 1". This tea tree is rather strange. Below 23 degrees, chlorophyll is missing and the buds and leaves that grow are white. In this case, one bud and one leaf are picked to make bud tea, which is the familiar phoenix-shaped Anji white tea.

Anji white tea is made according to the production process of green tea, that is, it goes through the processes of withering, rolling, drying, etc. Therefore, Anji white tea belongs to the category of green tea.

Anji white tea is rich in aminobutyric acid, which can lower blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar.

The lipopolysaccharide contained in Anji white tea has the effect of radiation protection. At the same time, the tea nitrate it contains can improve the toughness of blood vessels and make them less likely to rupture.

Storage methods and conditions of white tea cakes

For short-term storage, you can put the white tea cakes into a kraft paper bag, seal it, and place it in a cool, odor-free place; for long-term storage, you can put the white tea cakes into an aluminum foil bag, seal it, then put it into a plastic bag, tie it with a rope, and finally put it into a carton and place it in a clean place. White tea cakes should be stored in a sealed, light-proof, dry, and odor-free place.

The aging of white tea is mainly the natural oxidation of the substances in the tea leaves, so it must be sealed during storage.

Light will cause white tea to oxidize, darken its color, and decompose the effective ingredients in the tea, affecting its taste.

Once tea leaves are exposed to moisture, they will easily become moldy and deteriorate, so white tea cakes should be kept away from places that easily absorb moisture, such as floors, ceilings, and kitchens.
