China's top ten famous teas - West Lake Longjing:

West Lake Longjing ranks first among China's famous teas. Produced in the mountains surrounding West Lake in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. For many years, Hangzhou has been famous around the world not only for its beautiful West Lake, but also for its West Lake Longjing tea. The mountains of West Lake have been producing tea for thousands of years and were famous during the Tang Dynasty. However, the flat-shaped Longjing tea only took shape in the past hundred years. According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong visited Hangzhou, he composed a poem in Tianzhu, the Longjing tea area, titled "Observing Tea Picking and Composing Songs."

West Lake Longjing tea is ranked in the order of "lion (peak), dragon (well), cloud (dwelling), tiger (running), plum (jiawu)", with West Lake Longjing tea being the best. The shape of Longjing tea is straight and sharp, flat and handsome, smooth and even, and the color is green with yellow. After brewing, the aroma is high and long-lasting, fragrant like orchid; the soup is apricot green, clear and bright, the bottom of the leaves are green, evenly formed into flowers, and the buds are upright and lifelike. Drinking the tea soup is refreshing, the fragrance flows between the teeth, and the aftertaste is endless.

The Longjing tea area is located on the beautiful mountains and ridges beside the West Lake. It is close to the lake and mountains, with a mild climate, year-round clouds and mist, abundant rainfall, loose soil structure and fertile soil, and the tea trees have deep roots and lush leaves, and are always green. From the weeping willows sprouting buds until the forest is dyed, the tea buds continue to sprout. The tea buds picked before Qingming are called Mingqian tea. It takes 70,000 to 80,000 buds to fry one pound of Mingqian tea, which is the best Longjing tea. The appearance and inner quality of Longjing tea are closely related to its processing techniques.

In the past, Longjing tea was fried on a seven-star firewood stove, and the fire was very particular. There is a saying that "seven parts of stove fire, three parts of frying". Nowadays, electric pots are generally used, which are not only clean and sanitary, but also easy to control the pot temperature to ensure the quality of tea. When frying, it is divided into two processes: "green pot" and "stewed". The frying techniques are very complicated. Generally, there are ten techniques such as shaking, belting, throwing, stiffening, stretching, buckling, grabbing, pressing, grinding and squeezing. When frying, the techniques are constantly changed according to the quality of the fresh leaves and the shape of the tea base in the pot, and the frying is done according to the situation.

China's top ten famous teas - Huangshan Maofeng:

Huangshan Maofeng tea is produced in the Huangshan Mountains south of Taiping County and north of She County, Anhui Province. Huangshan Mountain is a natural scenic spot with extraordinary scenery in my country. It is filled with clouds and mist all year round. When the clouds are heavy, they can cover the entire mountainous area. The peaks are exposed above the clouds, like several islands, so it is called the Sea of ??Clouds. The pines in Huangshan Mountain are either hanging upside down or lying down, and their tree shapes are peculiar. The peaks of Huangshan Mountain are all composed of strange, dangerous and deep rocks.

The unity of clouds, pines and stones forms the mysterious Huangshan Scenic Area, which also casts various mysterious colors on Huangshan Maofeng Tea. Huangshan Maofeng Tea Garden is located around Yungu Temple, Songgu Nunnery, Suoqiao Nunnery, Ciguang Pavilion and Banshan Temple at an altitude of 1,200 meters. In the deep valley of Shanwu in the high mountains, the slope reaches 30 to 50 degrees. The climate here is mild, with abundant rainfall, fertile soil, deep upper layer, high air humidity and short sunshine hours. Under these special conditions, the tea trees are immersed in the steaming clouds and glowing clouds every day. Therefore, the tea buds are extraordinarily fat, soft and tender, the leaves are thick and durable, the aroma is fragrant, and the taste is mellow and sweet, making it the top grade tea.

Huangshan Maofeng tea originated during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and Huangshan tea was quite famous 300 years ago. The picking and processing of Huangshan tea is very delicate. The picking period is from Qingming Ming Dynasty to Beginning of Summer. The picked bud heads and fresh leaves need to be picked, and the older leaves and stems are removed to make the buds uniform. In terms of production, the curing temperature should be controlled according to the quality of the buds and leaves, so as to avoid the phenomenon of uneven and opaque red stems, red leaves and curing; the fire temperature should be high first, then low, and gradually decrease, so that the leaves are evenly heated and the physical and chemical changes are consistent. During the tea-making season, you can smell the fragrance when you are near the tea factory. The quality characteristics of Huangshan Maofeng are: the shape is thin and flat and slightly curly, shaped like a bird's tongue covered with silver cents, the soup is clear with apricot yellow, and the aroma is long-lasting like white orchid.

Top Ten Famous Teas in China - Dongting Biluochun:

One of the famous green teas in China. Dongting Biluochun tea is produced in Dongting Mountain, Taihu Lake, Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province. According to legend, several wild tea plants grew on the stone walls of Biluochun Peak on the east mountain of Dongting. Local people pick the tea in baskets every year and drink it themselves. One year, the tea trees grew particularly lush, and people rushed to pick them. The bamboo baskets could not fit them, so they had to put them in their arms. The tea was fumigated by the heat in their arms, and a strange aroma suddenly appeared. The tea pickers exclaimed: "It frightens people." This tea got its name from this. Once, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty visited Taihu Lake, and the governor Song Gong bought tea with "scaring fragrance". After tasting it, Kangxi felt that the fragrance was good, but he felt that the name was not elegant, so he named it "Biluochun".

Taihu Lake is vast, with rippling blue water and vast mist. Dongting Mountain is located on the shore of Taihu Lake. Dongting Mountain is a peninsula that stretches into Taihu Lake like a giant boat. Xishan Mountain is an island standing in the lake a few kilometers apart. The climate of Xishan Mountain is mild, with warm winters and cool summers, fresh air, and mist-filled clouds. It is a unique environment for the growth of tea trees. The environment, coupled with fine picking and exquisite workmanship, form unique quality characteristics. Biluochun tea has slender ropes, curled into a snail, covered with hairs and green in color. After brewing, the taste is fresh and refreshing, the fragrance is fragrant, the soup is green and the water is clear, and the bottom of the leaves is fine and tender. Especially for the high-grade Biluochun, you can rinse it with water first and then put the tea in. The tea leaves will still sink slowly, unfolding the leaves and releasing fragrance. This is a sign of strong tea buds and is unmatched by other teas.

Therefore, there is a folk saying: Biluochun is "copper wire strips, spiral-shaped, covered with hair, one tender (referring to buds and leaves) and three fresh (referring to color, fragrance, taste) since ancient times".

Biluochun tea is mined from the spring equinox to the end of Grain Rain. The picked tea leaves are one bud and one leaf. The picked buds and leaves must be sorted to remove fish leaves, old leaves and overly long stems. . It is usually picked early in the morning, tea pieces of poor quality are sorted around noon, and tea is fried from afternoon to evening. At present, most of them are still stir-fried by manual methods, and the process is: greening - frying and kneading - rolling and baking. The three processes are completed in one pot. The characteristic of frying is to stir-fry and knead simultaneously, and the key is to lift the dough, that is, the process of kneading and drying.

Dongting Biluochun tea has a unique style and is well-known at home and abroad. It is often used to entertain foreign guests or as high-end gifts. It is not only popular in the domestic market, but also exported to Japan, the United States, Germany, Singapore and other countries.
