For this reason, tea produced in Anxi has a distinctively strong flavor compared to tea produced in other regions, even if it is moderately fertilized.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Looking through historical documents related to tea, Anxi has been developing oolong tea technology since the very early 1600s. It is said that it was tea masters from Anxi who brought oolong tea manufacturing techniques to the famous Wuyishan, and as proof of this, there is a certain number of people living in Wuyishan who speak the Anxi dialect, Minnan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8595\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7652-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7652-2.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8596\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7654-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7654-1.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Golden cassia is the second most popular after Tieguanyin due to its gorgeous fragrance.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere are many distinctive tea varieties in Anxi. The most famous variety is Tieguanyin, but it is no exaggeration to say that Golden Gui is the second most popular tea in Anxi after Tieguanyin because of its unique aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e What makes Golden Katsura a little unusual is that the name Golden Katsura is not the name of a variety.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Golden Gui is a tea made from a variety called Huang Dan. Generally, oolong tea made from Huang Dan is called Golden Gui. Golden Gui is not the name of a specific method of making it, and oolong tea made from Huang Dan is called Golden Gui whether it is a clear-scented type, medium-roasted, or heavily roasted.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The \"Katsura\" in Golden Kei means golden osmanthus. The name Golden Kei comes from its unique golden color and gorgeous, sweet fragrance reminiscent of golden osmanthus. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8593\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7615-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7615-1.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8591\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7620-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7620-1.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e A gorgeous, milky scent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTea is made in the same way as Tieguanyin, by allowing the leaves to grow to a certain extent, picking them when they are ripe, and then fermenting them thoroughly.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This product is lightly roasted to bring out a sweeter aroma, so you can really taste the sweetness when you put it in your mouth.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e It has a floral and slightly milky fragrance, as well as a faint roasted aroma. It goes very well with food, and is a tea that pairs well with all kinds of Japanese, Western and Chinese cuisine.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Because this is a highly fermented tea, we do not recommend steeping it in water; rather, if you brew it strong and then dilute it with chilled water to make iced tea, it tastes great in hot weather. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8590\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7619-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/img.hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7619-2.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In terms of quality, it has a pleasantly long aftertaste, a solid body, and a well-rounded, full-bodied flavor. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBasically, we purchase this tea with the concept of delicious oolong tea that can be enjoyed on an everyday basis.
