While drinking the tea talk about its Trivia

There is lot of interesting knowledge about tea to talked about on the tea table, and today I will tell you about such knowledge to make you well prepared for such gathering.

Talk about the Stalk

Those who are new at drinking tea thinks that green tea doesn’t have the stalk (small stem for herbivorous plants) and yeah, they are right to some extent because Green tea does have very few tea stalks, because when green tea is picked, it is very tender, and the tender tea leaves are naturally not stalked.

But for oolong tea, Pu'er tea, black tea, it is required to be mature tea when picking, so the appearance of tea stalk is quite visible, and it is believed that good tea should have stalks.

Haha, now for the new friends who just became the fond of tea, if you believe or not, the stalk is there. And one more interesting thing is, the national standard has clear regulations on the stalk of black tea. For example, the amount of stalk of brick tea is required to be between 15% and 18%.

Is Black “red or black”?

As everyone knows, "Black" means "black", but I never understand why is tea that is red in colour called Black tea?

Well, it’s interesting, Is my English poor? Or do foreigners don’t know about tea? :D. In fact, the answer is something else, green tea and black exported to Europe at earlier times used to be of black colour (uncooked) so the English name evolved to be "Black tea" because of their appearance.

Black tea getting better and better?!

If you have ever noticed that black tea's soup often becomes cloudy after it is cold. This is due to turbidity and it’s not a mysterious phenomenon.

Let’s see it from scientific point of view – there are complex tea polyphenols and their oxidation products TF, TR and chemically stable caffeine. At high temperature (close to 100 ° C), they are each in a free state, soluble in hot water, but as the temperature decreases, the complex structure is formed by the association of H bonds between the hydroxyl group and the ketone group, and the tea soup is turned from clear.

This is the phenomenon of "After cold effect" of black tea, which is related to the freshness and intensity of black tea soup. High-grade black tea with better freshness, the phenomenon of after cold effect will be more common.

The Real "Golden Flower" of black tea is the fungus

Usually only beautiful things will be called golden flowers. The golden flower in black tea is no exception. It looks like a golden flower under the microscope, which is more dazzling in case of black tea.
