Longjing grading standard

Longjing is famous for its strict requirements on picking time and production technology.

Mainly divided into:

One: Longjing before the snow.

The picking period of Longjing before snow is the first time for Longjing. Due to the cold in late spring, the first frost or the first snow, the first time is extremely short.

The output is small and little known. Because the first batch of tea is extremely precious, there is a "spring insurance", which is the only insurance for tea.

Tea leaves are all bud-shaped, and the taste is the top grade in Longjing, which is the top grade in Longjing. There are almost no sales in the market, and they are basically special supplies.

Two: Longjing before the Ming Dynasty

Before the Ming Dynasty, the picking period of Longjing was before Tomb-Sweeping Day. At this time, Longjing began to be put on the market in batches, basically one bud and one leaf, with buds as the main part, and the development process was stable.

The degree is not obvious, the taste is excellent, and the grade is divided into super grade and first grade. It is the main high-end Longjing in the market. Because of the weather, it is generally worse.

The quality of tea near Qingming is poor, especially the tea in the week before Qingming is first-class Longjing.

Three: Longjing before the rain

The picking period of Longjing before rain is from Qingming to Grain Rain. At this time, the bud leaves of Longjing are larger than those before Ming Dynasty, mainly leaves, and the bitterness is obvious.

The level is divided into first-class and second-class, and it is the main low-end Longjing in the market. Longjing, which is regularly sold in the general market, is basically this series.

The first and second grades are basically sorted by sorting machines, the first grade is slightly better, and the second grade is almost the second grade, mainly the second grade.

Four: Longjing after the rain

After the rain, Longjing was picked in Grain Rain. At this time, Longjing is larger than bud leaves, mainly leaves, with obvious bitterness and taste.

Very general, with three or four grades, it is the main low-end Longjing in the market. Because of its oversized leaves, the product is different and tastes worse.

This series of Longjing is not produced in some famous producing areas.

Others simply distinguish Longjing by grade, that is, five grades: super grade, first grade, second grade, third grade and fourth grade.

Longjing is not produced in many areas, so it can also be divided into super, first, second, third and fourth grades.

* Longjing tea identification

To judge the quality of Longjing tea, except the physical and chemical examination of its health indicators, other items must rely on sensory evaluation. According to five factors: appearance, soup color, aroma, taste and leaf bottom. Appearance evaluation includes color, shape, tenderness (grade) and freshness, which is the focus of evaluation.

First, the grade standard of Longjing tea

In the past, West Lake Longjing tea was divided into special grade and first grade 1-10 * *1,in which the special grade was divided into special grade1,special grade 2 and special grade 3, and the rest grades were divided into five grades, and the "middle grade" of each grade was set with grade standard samples. After a little simplification, it was changed to special grade and grades 1 to 8, and * * * was divided into 43 grades. At 1995, the grade of West Lake Longjing Tea was further simplified, with only super grade (divided into super grade 2 and super grade 3), from grade 1 to grade 4.

With the decline of other grades of Longjing tea, the appearance color changed from light green to turquoise and then to dark green, the tea body changed from small to large, and the tea strips changed from smooth to rough. The fragrance changed from tender to thick, and the fourth-grade tea began to have a rough taste; The bottom of the leaf changes from bud to opposite leaf, and the color ranges from light yellow to turquoise to yellowish brown.

What is the original meaning of "Longjing" in Longjing tea?

Longjing Tea Longjing Tea is one of the top ten famous scenic spots in Hangzhou, but what I want to talk about now is not the excellent scenery, but the world-famous Longjing Tea! Among the top ten famous teas in China, Longjing has always been indispensable and has a long history. Longjing, formerly known as "Dragon Fire", has this spring from time to time in the Three Kingdoms. There was an Iraqi feldspar at the bottom of the well in the Ming Dynasty, hence the name Longjing. Longjing tea production was recorded in the Tang Dynasty, and it was even more famous in the Song Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi set up a palace in Hangzhou, and Longjing was listed as tribute tea. Later, Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River and the Lion Peak. Longjing is the most famous tender green variety. It takes 70,000-80,000 tender leaves to produce one kilogram of super Longjing. The tea color is green, the shape is flat and smooth, the soup color is green and bright, and the fragrance is blue, which is often said to be "green, fragrant, mellow and beautiful". Longjing tea is therefore precious. Longjing is known as "lion, dragon, cloud and tiger" in history, but it was later changed to "Lion Peak Longjing", "Meiwu Longjing" and "West Lake Longjing", with the lion peak Longjing having the best quality. Longjing before the Ming Dynasty and Longjing before the rain have delicate leaves and buds. After brewing, leaves are like colorful flags and buds are like cannons, which complement each other and are called "flag cannons". One leaf with two buds is called "Que Tongue". Qianlong once wrote a poem praising Longjing: Longjing Spring, a new tea of Longjing, is known as "ripe and fresh" in a family. Its inch bud was born in saprophyte and began to bake in Grain Rain. Why does Phoenix Group boast about imperial tea and talk about how the tongue moistens the heart lotus? "Longjing Tea, Tiger Running Water" is the double wonder of Hangzhou West Lake, so I have to mention Tiger Running. Lu Yu ranks the spring water of Tiger Run as the third in the world, which shows that the water quality of Tiger Run is good. Su Shi said in the poem "Tiger Running Spring" that "Jinsha Spring is full of snow, which makes the earth cool" and praised Tiger Running Spring for its water. It's really a pleasure to drink Longjing tea washed away by Tiger Run Spring in Hangzhou. The last time I went to Hangzhou Tiger Run, it was dusk. The quiet environment with birds and flowers naturally has such a famous spring. It's really beautiful to taste sweet spring water. If you return to Hangzhou in the season when Longjing is fragrant, you may have a new feeling about the scenery in Hangzhou.

The Longjing tea mentioned in this paper is limited to Longjing tea produced in and around Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area, which is the "real Longjing tea" generally recognized by consumers at present-West Lake Longjing. * Longjing tea identification and judgment of Longjing tea quality, in addition to its health indicators need physical and chemical inspection, all other items rely on sensory evaluation. According to five factors: appearance, soup color, aroma, taste and leaf bottom. Appearance evaluation includes color, shape, tenderness (grade) and freshness, which is the focus of evaluation. I. Grading standard of Longjing tea In the past, Longjing tea in West Lake was divided into grade one and grade one to ten * *11,of which grade one was divided into grade one, grade two and grade three, and other grades were divided into grade five, and grade standard samples were set for grade one. After a little simplification, it was changed to special grade and grades 1 to 8, and * * * was divided into 43 grades. At 1995, the grade of West Lake Longjing Tea was further simplified, with only super grade (divided into super grade 2 and super grade 3), from grade 1 to grade 4. Second, the quality characteristics of Longjing tea The super West Lake Longjing and Zhejiang Longjing in spring tea are flat and smooth in appearance, with sharp shoots, longer buds than leaves, light green in color and no fuzz on the body surface; The soup is light green (yellow) and bright; Fragrant or tender chestnut fragrance, but some teas are highly fragrant; The taste is refreshing or mellow; The leaves are light green and intact. With the decline of other grades of Longjing tea, the appearance color changed from light green to turquoise and then to dark green, the tea body changed from small to large, and the tea strips changed from smooth to rough.

Machine-made Longjing tea is now fried by multi-functional machine, and also by machine and artificial assistance. Machine-made Longjing tea is mostly rod-shaped, incomplete, dark green in color, and the overall quality is worse than that of manual frying under the same conditions. This website does not recommend this kind of tea. Third, the content of Longjing tea evaluation is similar to other famous green teas, mainly dry evaluation of appearance, wet evaluation of soup color, aroma, taste, leaf bottom, and the distinction of Longjing tea origin. 1, Appearance evaluation West Lake Longjing and Zhejiang Longjing, because these two kinds of tea are very similar in appearance, even some flat teas fried with fresh leaves of Longjing (such as Longjing 43 and Longjing long leaves) in other tea areas are difficult to distinguish from West Lake Longjing, which brings great difficulties to the identification of the origin of Longjing tea, which is also the reason for the confusion of Longjing tea labels on the market at present. The basic characteristics of Longjing tea appearance are: flat, non-forked buds and leaves, no fuzz on the body surface, and relatively green and moist. 2. Evaluation of the color of tea soup: the color of high-grade tea is light green and light yellow, and the color of middle and low-grade tea and Chao tea soup is yellowish brown. The origin of Longjing tea is not easy to distinguish from the color of the soup, and there is no need to make a hard distinction. 3. Evaluation of Aroma and Taste The early spring tea produced in meijiawu and Shifeng areas of Xihu District, if the tea-making technology is normal, there is a certain difference in aroma and taste between the super West Lake Longjing, which has no green smell of old fire, and the super Zhejiang Longjing produced in Zhejiang Province. West Lake Longjing is tender and fragrant, with a fresh and soft taste. Zhejiang Longjing has a tender chestnut fragrance and a mellow taste. If the West Lake Longjing and Zhejiang Longjing are fried by a multifunctional machine, there is no obvious difference in aroma between them due to the change of the traditional production technology of Longjing tea. Most other flat teas have the taste of sauteed green tea. However, even West Lake Longjing, once fried into old fire tea, is fried with soybean fragrance, which is not easy to distinguish its origin from aroma. Longjing tea stored at room temperature in Jiangnan tea area turns yellow and its aroma becomes weak after the rainy season. 4. Evaluation of leaf bottom The evaluation of leaf bottom is mainly to evaluate color, tenderness and completeness. Sometimes the tea residue in the cup is poured into a rectangular enamel plate, and then cold water is added to see the tenderness of the bottom of the leaf, which can be used as a reference for grading.
