Aroma of Peach and CassiaThe peach fragrance was not the inherent fragrance of the spice, but a rare and unique fragrance. Not all rock tea could produce a clear and sweet peach fragrance, so the process of making tea was more demanding. The fragrance of the fragrance required moderate fermentation. Over-fermentation would cause the fragrance to become overripe and the tea fragrance to become unrefreshing. The peach fragrance was a type of rock tea fruit fragrance. Although it was not exactly the same as the peach fragrance, it was very similar. There were different types of fragrance and shades of the Cassia in the rock tea, such as flat peach, eagle's beak peach, crisp peach, hairy peach, peach, yellow peach, etc. Peach fragrance was one of the standards of good rock tea. When a type of peony could make a clear peach fragrance, it meant that it had a rich tea fragrance level and expressiveness. However, peach fragrance wasn't the only fragrance of cassia. Cassia could also have other fragrances, such as cream fragrance, orchid fragrance, osmanthus fragrance, and so on. Therefore, the aroma of cassia was very diverse, and there was no fixed sample.
