Foreword: Continuing from the above, this article starts from the perspective of the quality of Kaihua Dragon Peak, and tells you in detail about the quality problems of different classifications of Kaihua Dragon Top, and how to face up to the classification and quality characteristics of Kaihua Dragon Top.
Kaihua County, Zhejiang Province, is located in the Golden Triangle region of green tea at the junction of Zhejiang, Anhui and Gansu provinces in China, and the green tea produced has a long history, excellent quality, and has been listed as a tribute since the Ming Dynasty. In 1959, on the basis of the famous tea production process, the tea scientists and technicians of Kaihua County climbed to the top of Dalong Mountain at an altitude of 1193m and developed it into dry tea, which was named "Dragon Top" after the place of origin. When the Japanese youth tea delegation arrived in Hangzhou that year, Kaihua Longding Tea participated in the evaluation and was appreciated. After the reform and opening up, Kaihua Longding was re-produced and developed rapidly. Since 1985, it has been rated as a national famous tea, has won more than 40 honors, and has been rated as one of the top ten famous teas in Zhejiang Province. Kaihua Longding Tea has an area of more than 6,600 hectares of tea gardens, with an output of nearly 200t and an output value of nearly 500 million.
Kaihua Longding Tea implements the local standard "Kaihua Longding Tea" (DB/T225-2004) of Zhejiang Province, which stipulates that Kaihua Longding is a (needle) straight green tea with the quality characteristics of "green color, clear soup, high aroma and alcohol" as raw materials, kneading (shaping) → drying of green → as the basic process, and produced and processed within the administrative region of Kaihua County. According to the development of the industry, in 2010, Kaihua County Quality technology association, Kaihua County Tea Bureau, Kaihua County Kaihua Longding Tea Association and other units revised the standard, and the revised standard was named "Kaihua Longding Tea Production Technical Regulations" (DB/T225-2010), replacing DB/T225-2004. In the new standard, Kaihua Longding tea products are expanded to three types: in addition to (needle) straight strip tea, curly and flat shapes are also included in the local brands of Kaihua Longding. This article takes the main product (needle) straight strip tea of Kaihua Longding as the introduction object, and does not involve curly tea and flat tea.
Kaihua Longding tea is divided into four grades, from first grade to third grade, of which the special grade requires that it be made of fresh leaves with whole buds.
The buds and leaves of the kaihua dragon top are tight and straight, and the color is green and green; The soup color is clear and bright, the aroma is clear and long-lasting, the taste is rich and fresh, and the whole buds at the bottom of the leaves are evenly aligned (special grade, first grade) or tender and evenly formed into flowers (grade 2, 3).
The next part is about "How to face up to the standard of fresh leaves at the top of the civilized dragon?" "Those who like the author to talk about tea can pay attention to and forward, which is convenient for communication and learning tea."
