Very fragrant tea is not necessarily good tea.

Drinking tea and buying tea are often described by its aroma. Is something good if it smells nice?

The phenomenon on the market is that people think that a stronger scent makes tea better, but actually it's misleading.

Actually, the aroma of tea and perfumes can be discussed together because the quality of fragrance comes first in terms of its purity and nobility. If we leave this issue out and discuss only the size of the fragrance, then it would not have any meaning.

Especially in high-grade tea, it is the aggregation of aroma that matters, so don't just say how strong or weak the fragrance is, and also don't think a very fragrant one is good tea.

Oolong tea is outstanding at this point. Oolong tea requires fragrance and tea water to be one, due to special technique it is relatively easy to produce the elegant orchid aroma. If the fragrance appears at once, after brewing three or four times there will be no fragrance left, or if there's a muddled fragrance it's ordinary level oolong tea.

The real high-grade or say high mountain oolong tea, scent is delicate and elegant, the soup taste is also relatively light, especially when brewing tea at first, it will take about 50 seconds to flow out of the soup. The fragrance has no miscellaneous odor, elegant and refreshing, heart-quenching. All things in the world, balance and harmony are the highest principles, good tea is no exception.

The ultimate state of tea is to be alive. Drink it down, and the whole person is awakened. It's not just passing through the mouth but infusing throughout the body and awakening our spirit.

Many people like the Pu-erh tea of ancient trees, but the teas from different mountains have their own stories. I collected teas from ancient trees on each mountain in Yunnan and found that there are four big mountains with distinct characteristics: Jing Mai is sweet, Yi Wu is soft, Ban Zhang is rigid and Bing Dao is lively.

Why has Icelandic Tea been so highly sought after lately? The main reason is that it's alive. It's the most precious quality, as long as it's genuine.

In fact, making tea that has no flaws at all is not easy. Each factor of heaven, earth, people and circumstance must strive for perfection, so it's very difficult. To make a truly "living" tea is even more difficult, as the factors of heaven, earth, people and circumstances are just as important, but the tea itself also needs to have an extremely high innate quality, and possess unique predestined qualities.

It's clear now that good tea is pure rather than fragrant.
