Tieguanyin is not the name of a tea brewing method, but a tea made from a variety of tea called Tieguanyin. Just like there are many varieties of apples, such as Fuji, Kougyoku, and Orin, there are many varieties of tea, and Tieguanyin is one of them. The characteristic of Tieguanyin is that it grows slower than other varieties, which is why it has a strong aftertaste and a long lingering aftertaste. Another characteristic is that it is semi-fermented, which gives it an orchid-like scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Oolong tea spread to Wuyishan, Anxi, and Taiwan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Anxi is a county located in the north of Xiamen and is one of China's three major oolong tea producing areas, along with Fenghuang Town and Wuyishan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAccording to the \"Tea Theory\" written by Wang Zi, the magistrate of Chong'an County in 1706, \"As the popularity of Wuyishan oolong tea increased, the manufacturing method of Wuyishan oolong tea was imitated in Anxi.\" However, another historical fact is that people from Anxi were engaged in tea making in Wuyishan, and it is thought that they returned to their hometown of Anxi and started making oolong tea. As evidence of this, some tea producers in Wuyishan speak Minnan, a dialect of Anxi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e After the oolong tea production method was introduced to Anxi, Anxi tea evolved in its own way, including the development of original processing methods such as bao-rolling (a method of rolling tea leaves into granular form). Today, Anxi is a very popular oolong tea producing area both inside and outside of China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAnxi is also one of the hometowns of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and many Taiwanese people are from Anxi, Quanzhou, and Xiamen. Historically, the tea-making traditions of Anxi were introduced to Taiwan by the immigrants from the Minnan region, and became the basis of modern Taiwanese oolong tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Good Tieguanyin tea comes from tea plantations at high altitudes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eLike other teas, the higher the altitude, the better the quality of Tieguanyin tea. When it comes to altitude, Darjeeling and Taiwanese high mountain teas tend to get attention, but in fact, altitude is a very important factor that determines the quality of all kinds of tea. As the altitude increases, the aftertaste becomes longer and the bitterness decreases. In addition, the quality of the aroma improves, and the aroma simply feels stronger. The Tieguanyin Medium Roasted Tea introduced this time is made in Daping Village, Anxi County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, China. The tea plantation is located at an altitude of 1000m-1300m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7705.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"420\" width=\"630\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7705.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6205\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"354\" width=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2bYHTuxmIuY\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Medium heat for a perfect balance between the aroma and flavor of orchid flowers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eMedium roasting is the name given to the tea finishing method in which tea is roasted to a medium degree. Although the light-scented Tieguanyin is also famous, I think the medium roasting style is the most popular in China. Medium roasting Tieguanyin has both a floral orchid-like aroma and a fragrant taste, making it a tea that is popular with everyone. It is recommended for various occasions, such as before, during, and after meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com.my\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_2178.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"420\" width=\"630\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/hojotea.com.my\/contents\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_2178.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-594\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"お茶の専門店HOJO","offers":[{"title":"Can: 70g","offer_id":44231799144636,"sku":"o63cc","price":4356.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/1363\/4492\/files\/IMG_2178_b77c522a-c69e-41a6-b010-445f6f3ee306.jpg?v=1749964936"},{"product_id":"o89c","title":"Golden Katsura","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca style=\"color: #fff;\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.hojotea.com\/pages\/brew-style-e\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\n\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"padding: 15px 0; font-size: .9em; background-color: #291939; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e How to brew tea (E) \u0026gt;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Golden Catalogue is said to have a very unique floral fragrance, and is a very popular tea in Anxi, along with Tieguanyin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Anxi, one of the three major oolong tea producing areas in China\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Anxi in Fujian Province is the hometown of Taiwanese tea and is one of the three major oolong tea producing areas in China, along with Wuyishan City and Fenghuang Town.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Anxi region is generally at a high altitude, and the entire region is made up of red soil, which contains a lot of iron, which contributes strongly to the strong aftertaste of tea.
