What is Xiuning Songluo Tea?
The Ming Dynasty was a significant period of reform in tea drinking history. The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, recognized the hard work of tea farmers and issued an edict to "abolish compressed tea in favor of loose tea." This decree marked the end of compressed and cake teas, ushering in the era of loose leaf tea in China. Xiuning Songluo Tea was created during this early Ming period. Songluo tea is known as the "ancestor of stir-fried green teas," renowned for its "green color, high fragrance, and strong flavor," which distinguishes it from other green teas. There are records stating that "in Anhui, there is Songluo tea, whose taste surpasses Longjing but falls below Tianchi" (Yuan Hongdao, Ming Dynasty). During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Songluo Mountain was a Buddhist holy site. As early as the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Yinfu Temple on Songluo Mountain had already become famous throughout southern China, with abundant offerings and worship. Songluo tea originates from this mountain. According to "Tea Record" by Feng Shike of the Ming Dynasty, Songluo Dafang was first created by the monk Dafang. 1.

How is Green Tea Made, and What Are Its Benefits?
Green tea is one of the main types of tea in China, belonging to the category of non-fermented teas. It is made from fresh tea leaves through processes such as fixation, rolling, and drying. Notable varieties of green tea include Biluochun, Zhaopo tea, West Lake Longjing, Lushan Cloud Mist, Dawu green tea, and Jingu Luhao, among others. Green Tea Production Process The processing of green tea can be simply divided into three steps: fixation, rolling, and drying, with the key step being fixation. Fresh leaves undergo fixation, which deactivates enzymes, allowing the various chemical components within to undergo physical and chemical changes primarily due to heat, forming the characteristic qualities of green tea. 1. Fixation During withering and fixation, the internal moisture of the leaves evaporates, and the enzymatic activity is destroyed, preventing further oxidation. This allows for the evaporation of low-boiling-point aromatic compounds while preserving high-boiling-point aromatics, locking in the intrinsic aroma of the tea. As the temperature rises, high-boiling-point aromatic substances become more prominent. This process also evaporates moisture from the leaves, making them softer and preparing them for rolling. Shaking fixation involves lifting the leaves to facilitate moisture loss and the release of grassy odors, allowing a…- 0

Why Drink Tea? Here’s Probably the Most Comprehensive Answer!
1. Drinking tea can eliminate fatigue. After a tiring day, have a cup of tea, and you will feel relieved, from its aroma to the water sensation, massaging your tense nerves both inside and out. 2. Drinking tea can enhance your appreciation of aesthetics. Set up a tea table, arrange the items, and pair them with flowers; your sense of beauty in life will improve over time. 3. Drinking tea can freshen your breath. If you’ve had garlic for lunch and just ran out of mints, how do you handle a client meeting later? Chew on two or three tea leaves for a few minutes, then rinse your mouth with water. You’re good to go for a kiss too — if you happen to be alone, swallow it with your saliva; that works as well… 4. Drinking tea can enrich your conversation starters. Use tea as your calling card. In appropriate settings, instead of introducing your name, tell others about your favorite tea, revealing aspects of your personality and areas of expertise, creating memorable connections.

Green tea is the most diverse category of tea in China, produced in many regions. Examples include Longjing and Anji White Tea from Zhejiang, Guyu Purple Bud from Huzhou; Biluochun and Yangxian Snow Bud from Jiangsu; Huangshan Maofeng and Taiping Houkui from Anhui, among others. Due to its long-standing tradition, nearly every tea-producing region in the country has its own renowned high-quality green tea.

Mengku’s Eighteen Villages and the Five Rings of Bingdao: People and Tea Thriving Due to Top-Ranked Villages
Today, Bingdao tea has become a calling card for the Mengku tea region and even the entire Lincang tea area. Under the influence of Bingdao's famous teas, villages like Dongguo, Xiaohusai, Dijie, Molie, and Zhengqitang, among others, are increasingly recognized. The value of tea, ecology, and geography in the Mengku tea region continues to be discovered and showcased. This feature article will delve into the people and teas that have prospered due to Bingdao. Mengku's Eighteen Villages To understand the Mengku tea region, start with "two mountains flanking a river." The two mountains are Ma'anshan and Bangma Mountain, both running north to south. Between them lies the river known locally as the Mengku River or the Nanmeng River. On this river stands the Nanding Reservoir, now also called "Bingdao Lake." The entire Mengku tea region is divided by the Nanmeng River, leading us to focus on the East Half Mountain and West Half Mountain of Mengku. Geographically, the people of Mengku traditionally use the Nanmeng River as a boundary, referring to the eastern Ma'anshan as the East Half Mountain and the western Bangma Mountain as the West Half Mountain. Many visitors initially struggle with orientation, leading to practical sayings like… -
Kneading: Unafraid of Shattering, Leaving Behind a Fragrant Tea for Mankind
In the previous article (Wilt: The Prelude to Transformation from Fresh Leaves to Tea), Lu Li provided an in-depth introduction to wilting. Next comes kneading, which involves the actions of "kneading" and "twisting" to roll the wilted leaves into a specific shape, reducing their surface area. Purpose of Kneading in Pu'er Tea Most of the six major types of Chinese tea undergo a kneading process, but the shapes they are formed into vary. Examples include snail-shaped Biluochun, needle-shaped Nanjing Yuhua, flat-shaped West Lake Longjing, curled Anxi Tieguanyin, and pointed Taiping Houkui, among others. Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried green tea (the precursor to Pu'er tea) is categorized as a strip tea, characterized by its pursuit of being "tight, round, and straight," while avoiding being "loose, flat, and broken." When kneading by hand, it's important to maintain consistent movement direction for the leaves to avoid counter-twisting. For many types of tea, the primary purpose of kneading is to shape the leaves, enhancing their economic value. Therefore, the kneading time is short and the pressure light. However, this is not the case with Pu'er tea, because kneading serves another critical function: breaking down leaf cells. During kneading, significant pressure is applied to the… -
Attention to These Details When Brewing Tea, and the Infusion Will Surprise You!
Why does the tea you brew always taste different from that of a tea artist? It turns out that every step, from boiling water, selecting utensils, preparing the tea leaves to brewing, can affect the infusion. Brewing tea is not only a technical skill but also requires meticulous attention. The details make or break the result. Whether the tea tastes good or not depends on whether you have paid attention to these details and methods. Boiling Water Boil water this way for better-tasting tea In his book, "The Classic of Tea," Lu Yu of the Tang Dynasty described three stages of boiling water: First Boil: When the water starts bubbling like fish eyes with a gentle sound; Second Boil: When bubbles rise like a spring of pearls; Third Boil: When the water surges and waves like a rushing tide. For modern people, boil water quickly over high heat instead of slowly over low heat. When the water continuously bubbles at the second or just into the third boil, its activity is best. If boiled too long, the oxygen content decreases, reducing its activity, which we often refer to as "over-boiled" water. This negatively impacts the infusion. If using tap water,…- 1

Purple Clay Teapots Are Not Picky About Tea, But There Is a Notion of “More Suitable”
As is well known, the advantage of purple clay teapots lies in tea brewing. What is the connection between them? Generally speaking, purple clay teapots are not picky about the type of tea; any kind of tea can be brewed using a purple clay teapot. However, how to best match the characteristics of the pot with those of the tea is a question worth studying. Brewing certain teas in specific pots can make the pot more lustrous and produce a richer, more fragrant infusion. 1. Crimson Clay Teapot 【Crimson Clay Teapot】usually has a high mesh count and a dense structure, which results in minimal loss of the aroma of highly aromatic teas. It enhances the tea's qualities by concentrating and enhancing its fragrance, making it an excellent companion for oolong teas. Crimson clay teapots are suitable for brewing highly aromatic teas such as Taiwanese high mountain teas and Tieguanyin from Anxi, effectively bringing out their aromatic properties. Teapots used to brew Tieguanyin often develop a particularly bright sheen due to the rich aromatic oils in the tea leaves. It should be noted that crimson clay has a very high shrinkage ratio and is prone to cracking due to thermal expansion…- 1

How Much Does Tea Cost per Pound? An In-depth Look at the Secrets Behind Tea Prices
Tea, as a traditional Chinese beverage, carries profound cultural significance and is an indispensable part of daily life. However, when we enter the tea market and face the myriad varieties of tea, prices vary widely, leaving many wondering: how much does tea cost per pound?

Winter Tea Garden Sealing Is Timely for Tea Trees
Winter Tea Garden Sealing Is Timely for Tea Trees With the drop in temperature, it's time to perform winter sealing of tea gardens. Which tea gardens should undergo winter sealing? Tea gardens that have experienced severe infestations of pests such as tea orange spider mites, scale insects (including Unaspis citri, Unaspis stevensi, and Unaspis yanonensis), black scale insects, and tea anthracnose can benefit from winter sealing. This helps control pest and disease outbreaks in the following year, reducing the number of pesticide applications and ensuring the safety of tea quality. Sealing Time: The most suitable period is when the daily average temperature is between 10-15°C. If the temperature is too high, there is a risk of causing leaf fall due to phytotoxicity. If it’s too low, the expected results may not be achieved. Sealing Agent: We recommend using lime-sulfur solution. A dilution of 45% crystalline lime-sulfur solution at 150-200 times its concentration. Precautions: Thoroughly spray the entire tree, including both sides of the leaves, branches, and the base of the bushes, akin to giving the tea trees a complete cleansing and disinfection. Special Reminder: Lime-sulfur solution is strongly alkaline and must not be mixed with other pesticides. In late October… -
The Difference Between an 8 Yuan Tea and an 80,000 Yuan Tea: What Lies In Between?
To write this article well, the editor personally opened Taobao and searched for "tea", sorting by lowest to highest price, the cheapest tea was available for 10 yuan with free shipping; sorting from highest to lowest price, the most expensive tea was listed at 80,000 yuan. In some tea markets, 8 yuan teas are also readily available, as are those priced in the tens of thousands. This means that the gap in market prices for tea can be as high as ten thousand times, a ratio comparable to that of the automobile industry. But why does this ordinary leaf have such a magical range of prices? Types and Origins The top ten famous Chinese teas are: Tieguanyin, Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng, West Lake Longjing, Junshan Yinzhen, Wuyi Rock Tea, Luan Guapian, Xinyang Maojian, Keemun Black Tea, and Duyun Maojian. When a tea is both famous and comes from its authentic place of origin, its price naturally will not be cheap. Many teas on the market may belong to one of these ten famous types but do not necessarily come from their original places of production, merely using the names to suggest authenticity, so their prices will naturally be lower than those…
