WenShui Cinnamon问水肉桂 Wuyi Rock Tea 204g Gift Box[RT01]

Oolong tea originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Its production process was invented by the people of Wuyi Mountain after thousands of trials and tribulations. It is the crystallization of collective wisdom. It first spread from Chong'an (now Wuyi Mountain City) to the tea area in northern Fujian (Anxi, Yongchun, Nan'an in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, etc.), the Chaoshan tea area in Guangdong, and then spread to Taiwan. At present, China has formed four major oolong tea producing areas, namely northern Fujian oolong tea represented by Wuyi Rock Tea, southern Fujian oolong tea represented by Tieguanyin, Guangdong oolong tea represented by Fenghuang Dancong, and Taiwan oolong tea represented by Dongding Oolong. Wuyi Rock Tea is the ancestor of oolong tea, and Wuyi Mountain is the birthplace of oolong tea in the world.

1. Wuyi rock tea is a product protected by geographical indications. Rock tea refers specifically to rock tea produced within the administrative area of ​​Wuyishan City.2. Made using unique traditional rock tea processing technology.3. Oolong tea with rock-bone floral characteristics.

The reason why rock tea is named "rock" is to emphasize the rocky landforms of Wuyi Mountain and the soil structure which is mainly weathered rock. This is the unique geographical condition given to Wuyi rock tea by the Creator, which cannot be easily replicated elsewhere. It is also an unavoidable condition for making a good cup of rock tea.

Wuyi rock tea is not famous for its exquisite appearance, but for its rich inner quality. From the perspective of production area, there are Zhengyan(Core region), Banyan(second grade region) and Zhoucha(normal region). Zhengyan tea is mellow in quality and is the best among rock teas. Banyan tea is tea grown on the edge of Wuyi, and its characteristics and taste are slightly inferior to Zhengyan tea. Zhoucha is tea grown on both sides of Wuyi, and its quality is lower. Sankeng Liangjian refers to the most representative mountain field in Zhengyan, which produces the best quality tea, and is also the area with the longest history of tea making in Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area. Is good tea from a good production area necessarily good? Not really. In addition to the production area, the quality of tea is closely related to the climate of the year, the craftsmanship of the tea maker, the picking and processing standards, the degree of roasting, the storage conditions, etc. Therefore, it is ultimately judged based on the taste of the tea.

When talking about Wuyi rock tea, the first thing that comes to mind is Da Hong Pao. In fact, Wuyi rock tea refers to oolong tea produced in Wuyi Mountain, which belongs to the six major types of oolong tea. Da Hong Pao is actually just the name of a tree species, also known as Qidan. Because of its high popularity and representativeness, many people are accustomed to calling Wuyi rock tea Da Hong Pao. Nowadays, most Da Hong Pao teas are made by blending multiple types of rock tea, so they have rich aromas and varied tastes.

Yes. Only oolong tea produced in Wuyi Mountain is called Wuyi Rock Tea. The Wuyi Rock Tea Standard (GB/T18745-2006), a geographical indication product, which came into effect on December 1, 2006, clearly defines the scope of protection for Wuyi Rock Tea, a geographical indication product, which is the administrative area of ​​Wuyi Mountain City, Fujian Province.

At present, China does not have a set of standards to distinguish the quality of tea by packaging. It is indeed difficult to quickly distinguish and master the quality of each tea. There is no shortcut. We can roughly understand the flavor of tea through brand, production area, and variety, but in the end, we can only truly master the fragrance and taste of each tea from dry tea, tea soup, aroma, taste, and leaf bottom by drinking, tasting, and experiencing more over a long period of time.
