Usually we talk about what flower tea, as long as we bring flowers, basically can be understood literally as this tea is flower tea, and we see that the actual product is often a proper flower tea.
Anhui Province has always been famous tea, Liu'an Gua Slice, Jingting Snow Green, Jiuhua Buddha Tea, Keemun Black Tea, etc., these well-known high-quality teas have never lived up to their reputation. Then we introduce today the "flower tea" produced in Shucheng, Tongcheng, Lujiang and Yuexi in Anhui Province - Shucheng Orchid Tea.
Shucheng orchid tea, I believe that the tea friends who have heard of it will be relatively small, it has some negative reputation, it is not our intuitive flower tea, unexpectedly is green tea (a bit of Anji white tea meaning, huh). Why is Shucheng orchid tea produced in so many areas around Anhui, but take "Shucheng" as the geographical name of orchid tea? This is because the orchid green tea produced in Anhui is the most produced in Shucheng, and it is also the best quality produced in the Shucheng tea area, and the importance of the mountain is not only in Pu'er tea and oolong tea.
High-quality Shucheng orchid tea, of course, the appearance is also uniform, the biggest feature of dry tea is "light, flat, flat, straight", flat needle-like strips, pekoe exposed (especially spring tea is more obvious), buds and leaves are fresh and tender, luster and bright. Brewing Shucheng orchid tea is still recommended to 75 ° C - 85 ° C boiling water is better, brewed tea soup tender green translucent, rich taste and sweet back, tea fragrance, leaf bottom tender green into flowers, buds and leaves connected like orchids (grass), even moist and obvious.
Shucheng orchid tea was created in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there are two theories about the origin of the tea name, one is based on the shape of the bud leaves like an orchid, and the other is also named because the orchid blooms when the tea is picked, and the tea leaves adsorb the orchid fragrance. In 1980, on the basis of the traditional technology of the original small orchid, Shucheng County developed two teas, White Frost Mist and Anhui West Early Flower, and then in 1987, these two new teas were rated as Anhui famous teas, so far, the Shucheng Small Orchid Series Green Tea was formed.
Shucheng orchid is also divided into refined and bulk tea, usually differentiated by processing methods, handmade orchid tea has two large processes of killing and roasting, and as a mechanism for bulk tea sales, orchid tea must go through 3 processes of killing, kneading and baking.
It was the momentum of spring tea sales. Friends who love tea, see if you can buy a bubble of Shucheng orchid tea!
