What factors affect the flavor of tea?
Different tea varieties will have different flavors due to their variety, origin, processing procedures and other factors related to tea cultivation and tea making.
According to different harvesting seasons, tea can be divided into two types: "spring tea" and "winter tea". Spring tea (harvested from mid-March to early May) is usually picked when it is relatively young. Among the younger tea leaves, The content of catechins is high, and the astringency of the tea flavor will be more obvious due to high catechins. As for winter tea (harvested from late October to late November), due to the cold weather and scarce rain in winter, the growth rate of tea leaves is relatively slow, making the tea leaves more delicate in aroma and less bitter. Compared with spring tea, winter tea leaves grow more slowly. The tea has a lighter flavor.
