To understand tea, you must also know how to hide tea: A guide to packaging aesthetics and brewing of China’s six major tea categories

?From greening to withering, from flat wrapping to pressing, explore the craft code behind the shape of tea leaves.

Most people in the world know how to drink tea, and they know the freshness of Longjing, the charm of rock tea, and the richness of cooked tea. However, understanding tea is only the first step; knowing how to "hide" tea is the only way to get the true flavor of tea.

Chinese tea is extensive and profound. According to the degree of fermentation and technology, it can be classified into six major systems: green, white, yellow, green, red and black . They show completely different characters due to their different craftsmanship. The preservation of this character, in addition to the skills of the tea maker, is inseparable from the final "seal" - packaging .

1. Six categories of tea: one art determines one taste

? Green tea｜No fermentation·Stay true to your roots

High temperature kills and locks the original endoplasm of fresh leaves. The tea soup is clear and tender green, with a refreshing and noble aroma.

Representatives: West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng

? White tea｜Slightly fermented·Natural way

Without frying or kneading, it will wither in the sun. The tea is light and moist in nature, durable in storage and easy to age.

Representative: Baihao Silver Needle, Shoumei, White Peony

(Adapted to: tissue paper cake bag/vacuum bag)

?Yellow tea｜Lightly fermented·Blonde contains chapter

Following the basic green tea process, it has a unique "boring yellow" process. The color of the soup is bright apricot yellow, and the taste is warm and elegant.

Representatives: Junshan Silver Needle, Huoshan Huangya

? Green tea (oolong tea)｜Semi-fermented·Full of character

The process is the most complicated, and it has both fragrance and sweetness.

Representatives: Anxi Tieguanyin, Dahongpao, Dongding Oolong

(Adaptation: three-dimensional triangle bag)

? Black tea | Fully fermented· Warm and soft

The tea is mild in nature and has a sweet honey aroma.

Representatives: Keemun black tea, Dianhong tea, Lapsang souchong

(Adaptation: aluminum foil vacuum bag/gift box)

⚫ Dark tea｜Post-fermentation·Precipitation over time

Relying on the participation of microorganisms in fermentation, it can be stored and transformed for a long time.

Representatives: Pu'er tea, Anhua dark tea, Liubao tea

(Adaptation: brick tea/cake tea pressing)

2. Fermentation degree ladder: understand tea with a ribbon

The lower the degree of fermentation, the colder the tea, suitable for drinking in the morning; the higher the degree of fermentation, the milder the tea, suitable for afternoon and evening drinking. This invisible "fermentation axis" is the fundamental standard for classifying the six major tea categories.

3. The shape of tea and the charm of utensils: the packaging aesthetics of the six major tea series

Tea is the art of time and the poetry of form. Different tea types have different requirements for preservation, use and aesthetics due to differences in technology and fermentation degree.

? White tea·Time-honored fragrance, good to store and enjoy

White tea is "tea in one year, medicine in three years, and treasure in seven years". Vacuum compression packaging not only reduces storage space, but also allows it to be transformed slowly and silently.

▲ Pressed and molded to preserve time.

? Green tea·fresh and refreshing, locking in freshness is the key

The value of green tea lies in its "freshness". The nitrogen-filled fresh-locking flat packaging technology is like holding up an invisible umbrella for Longjing and Biluochun, allowing the freshness to stay longer.

▲ Filled with nitrogen to lock in freshness and freeze the mood of spring.

? Green tea (oolong tea)·Curly and stretch freely

The oolong tea ropes are tightly knotted. The three-dimensional triangle bag gives the dry tea enough breathing space. The moment it enters the water, the leaves can dance freely in the cup.

▲ Three-dimensional space, stretch freely.

?Yellow tea, dull yellow and elegant charm, private protection

Yellow tea production process is complex and output is scarce. The light-proof stand-up bag combined with vacuum sealing is like sealing the warm "yellow" in a time capsule.

▲ Exquisite bubbles, private elegance.

? Black tea·Golden hair is revealed, warm and moist like jade

Black tea is fully fermented and has a dark color. The aluminum foil inner bag combined with the exquisite gift box can perfectly reflect light and keep it dry.

▲ As gentle as jade, it makes a great gift.

⚫ Black tea·Rugged and bold, the more fragrant it gets with age

Dark tea is often shown in a compressed form. The automatic brick tea/cake tea packaging machine complements the large-sized vacuum machine .

▲ Rugged and bold, it becomes more fragrant with age.

4. Technology empowerment: match exclusive “armor” for each type of tea

Different tea properties require different packaging logic. We reject the false concept of "one machine can conquer the world" and insist on providing you with a professional equipment matrix so that every piece of tea can receive the most scientific care:
