Love tea you have not ever had such a question, the six major tea categories obviously do not have oolong tea, but everyone calls the Wuyi rock tea that belongs to the green tea category as oolong tea.
Does Wuyi Rock Tea belong to Green Tea or Oolong Tea? Are you still confused on the other side of the Internet?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" > which type of tea does oolong tea belong to? </h1>
The two names of oolong tea and green tea sound like a misleading way to make people think that these are two completely different teas.
Also many tea friends can not understand the meaning of the name of green tea, let us understand why the oolong tea belonging to green tea is called "oolong tea".
The word oolong tea may be heard more, and at the same time, the name oolong tea appeared first in the history of tea.
Until Professor Chen Rafter proposed: according to the different production methods and quality, with reference to the classification of customs, according to the order of flavanol content, it is divided into six categories: green tea, yellow tea, black tea, white tea, green tea, and black tea.
Since then, oolong tea has had a standard official scientific name - green tea.
It can be laughed at that it is green tea that forced "oolong tea" to change its name.
Oolong tea (green tea) is the last tea in the six major tea categories to appear.
Every tea product is discovered and developed, in fact, it is a combination of small "oolong".
The oolong of oolong tea (green tea) is shown to the world by four external reasons and word of mouth:
One is for the production, two for the varieties of tea plants, three for the name of the person who made tea, and four for the color of the tea leaf form.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > the origin of oolong tea</h1>
In Fujian, you may often hear someone say, "Make a fuss."
The word oolong in Fujian means farce, whether the result is good or bad is an accident, it is an accident that happens in the middle of an accident.
And oolong tea happens to be a new tea that tea people accidentally harvested.
Oolong tea (green tea) is the most complex type of tea in the six major tea categories, and unlike other teas, it needs to undergo a long period of withering and greening to achieve a semi-fermented state.
According to the "Fujian Tea" and "Fujian Tea Folklore", there is a tea farmer in Fujian surnamed Su Minglong, because he looks dark and strong, and the villagers call him "Oolong".
During the spring tea season, "Oolong" found a prey while picking tea and went to chase after the prey.
When the prey returned home, the family was busy slaughtering the prey and forgot to make tea.
It wasn't until the next day that the tea greens picked yesterday were brought in.
At this time, the fresh leaves that have been placed overnight have fermented the red edge, and the tea leaves produced are particularly fragrant and strong, and there is no bitter feeling of the past.
In the future generations of tea people carefully pondered and repeated experiments, after withering, shaking green, semi-fermentation, roasting and other processes of perfection, finally produced a new tea of excellent quality - oolong tea (green tea).
And in folklore there is a saying that Chen Xin more recognizes.
Many tea lovers may not know that Wuyi Mountain has rugged terrain and is inconvenient for transportation and machinery in the era.
Tea people are much more difficult to pick and transport fresh leaves than they are now.
After the fresh leaf picking, the tea leaves have been placed in bamboo baskets since ancient times and carried down the mountain.
This way the tea leaves are bumping up and down in the bamboo basket, and the leaf veins on the edge of the tea will produce a certain damage, which makes the tea have a certain reaction and produce a different fragrance.
(This problem will also be encountered now, wuyi mountain tea green is still carried down by the tea masters in a basket, along the way can smell the tea leaves emitted by the burst of fragrance, but in the traffic is developed now, we can race against the clock to transport tea green to the tea factory for processing)
And this accidental discovery made the tea masters discover a different flavor code.
The resulting tea has a much higher aroma than previous teas and does not produce bitterness.
The tea masters have slowly evolved this "oolong" into a special craft, "Shaking Green", which continues to the present.
Hundreds of years before science was underdeveloped, it was impossible to scientifically explain this mysterious response.
So I named this tea in dialect and called it a tea made of "accidental" -- "oolong tea"
This scientific name has also been used to this day.
Reading this, I don't know if you can understand the legend of oolong tea on the other side of the Internet.
