What is the difference between big-tree tea and ancient-tree tea?

At present, our country has no specific distinction between big-tree tea and ancient-tree tea, so many people can only distinguish the two by tree age. So what is the difference between big-tree tea and ancient-tree tea?

1. What is the difference between big-tree tea and ancient-tree tea?

Big-tree tea and ancient-tree tea can be distinguished by appearance, tree age, taste and other aspects. Big-tree tea is arbor-type tea, with a tree age of 30-100 years and a tree height of about 5 m. Generally, the older the tree, the more mellow the taste. Most ancient-tree tea trees are over 300 years old, though trees from the Tang Dynasty or before the Tang Dynasty can reach over 1000 years old, with a tree height of more than 10 m. The sun-dried green tea made from them has a green-yellow liquor color, a fresh aroma, and a slight wild-tea-specific fishy note.

2. What benefits does drinking ancient-tree tea have?

1. Cancer prevention and anti-cancer: Research shows that cancer cells spread very quickly, so they must be inhibited in time. A concentration of one percent of ancient-tree tea can have an anti-cancer effect, has a very obvious effect on killing cancer cells, can effectively inhibit the spread of cancer cells, and has anti-cancer and cancer-preventing effects.

2. Fat reduction and weight loss: Ancient-tree tea is a good weight-loss companion for women, because ancient-tree tea has a very strong effect on the absorption of lipid compounds, and also has a very obvious therapeutic effect on reducing cholesterol in the body, achieving the effects of cleansing the intestinal tract and reducing fat and weight.

3. Anti-aging: Eye care and anti-aging are also among the effects of ancient-tree tea, because Yunnan large-leaf tea contains catechins, and the total amount is higher than that of other tea tree varieties, so its anti-aging effect is better than other tea types. During the processing of ancient-tree tea, many substances in the tea leaves are effectively converted into vitamins and other nutrients, playing an important role in improving the function of the human immune system. Long-term drinking is very helpful for beauty and skin care.

4. Protecting teeth: With increasing age or improper usual care, teeth will silently decline and no longer be firm. Ancient-tree tea contains many physiologically active ingredients. Long-term drinking of ancient-tree tea can effectively treat diseases caused by bacteria and has a great effect on strengthening teeth.

Overall, the difference between big-tree tea and ancient-tree tea is still quite large. Generally, tea with a tree age of 30-100 years and a height of 5 m is big-tree tea, while tea with a tree age of over 300 years and a height of more than 10 m is ancient-tree tea.
