2022-10-12

What is the difference between loose tea and tea cake? How do you feel different when you drink it? 

In order to let tea friends can better understand loose white tea leaves and tea cake, we specifically listed three points of the difference between the two for your reference. 

1. differences in looks

The process of making white tea is quite different from other teas. There’s no need to be fried in the production, but let it wither in the natural environment, until it only has about 70% of the water, it will be put in the oven with gentle fire to dry.

The tea produced in this way is loose tea. At the same time, the tea produced by this process can largely ensure the nutrients, but also retain a large amount of tea tomentum


Tea cake is made from loose tea, as if an army is formed by many soldiers, so the cake pressing can also reflect the level of a white tea master. 

When making tea cake, loose tea should be steamed soft, and then put into the bag for pressing, and then be taken out to dry after shaping. 

Only then can a piece of tea cake be considered truly complete.


So, after making the tea cake, it looks like an old-fashioned Mid-Autumn moon cake, a big round one;  And loose tea is a piece of dry leaves, although crisp but fragrance.
