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.

At altitudes below that, there are many mass-produced tea plantations and tea plantations made up of young trees, and the tea is generally traded as cheap tea. In particular, tea plantations at altitudes of over 1000m have a large difference in temperature between day and night, and are a treasure trove of tea with a rich flavor and rich aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSome people have the impression that Fenghuang Dancong has a bitter or astringent taste, but such teas are often made using standard tea plantation methods, with a lot of fertilizer and high temperatures during sterilization and roasting.

After the tea leaves have completed the sun-withering process, they are brought inside and spread on sheets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e For tea leaves that are moist and high in moisture, thinning the layer of tea leaves will speed up the evaporation of moisture. Next, the tea leaves are spread out on a bamboo basket. Spreading them on the basket promotes fermentation, and then the leaves are lifted up again and dropped into the slanted basket, then left to ferment, and the process is repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The leaves are then agitated in a bamboo drum, which causes the leaves to lift and fall, gradually damaging the edges and encouraging enzymatic fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Once fully fermented, the tea leaves will release a sweet, floral aroma. When processed by skilled craftsmen, the leaves will have a red color only on the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis indicates that only the edges of the leaves are bruised and partially fermented, which is clearly different from lower quality leaves, which have an uneven red discolouration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Once fermentation is complete, the tea leaves are heated to inactivate the enzymes and stop the fermentation. If the fermentation is not stopped in a timely manner, the fermentation of the tea leaves will continue and the tea will end up with a flavor similar to black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The number of stirrings and the time for leaving the tea to sit are determined based on the moisture content, aroma, and color of the tea leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This delicate timing is decided by the craftsmen's experience, and it greatly affects the quality of the oolong tea. The craftsmen work under the instructions of the \"master\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The quality of the tea master greatly influences the aroma of the oolong tea. In order to consistently obtain high-quality tea, it is necessary to work with a superior master. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"letter-spacing: 2px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8e9eb; padding-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e Kneading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAt this point, the tea leaves already have an oolong flavor, but because the cells of the tea leaves are still intact except for the edges, the flavor and aroma will not be fully extracted even if you brew the tea in this state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e On the other hand, when the rolling process is carried out under high pressure, as in the production of black tea, ①unwanted impurities will dissolve into the tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e ②Furthermore, because the ingredients are exposed to excessive air, non-enzymatic oxidation (not involving enzymatic fermentation) occurs, causing changes in taste and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e To solve these dilemmas, a method called \"bao-mou\" is used in the production of oolong tea. As the name suggests, bao-mou is the process of wrapping and then rolling the tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The tea leaves are placed into cloth bags while still warm and soft. Each bag can contain 10-20kg of tea leaves, which are then rolled into balls the size of basketballs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eNowadays, the ends of the bags are twisted powerfully by a machine. By twisting them round and round, the bag is compressed and the tea leaves are tightly pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Next, the balls of tea leaves are placed on a disk-shaped device. There are disks on the top and bottom, and the balls of tea leaves are sandwiched between two plates. The top disk is fixed and does not move, only the bottom disk rotates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The ball containing the tea leaves is rolled while rotating. After rolling for a while, the tea leaves are gently heated again. If the tea leaves cool, they will harden and crack, so they are periodically heated to soften them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The tea leaves gradually become firmer and are formed into a spherical shape. The higher the quality of the tea leaves, the firmer the leaves will be and the heavier they will feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eHigh-quality tea leaves also have a glossy surface due to the solidification of the extract from the tea leaves. This series of steps is repeated many times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The number of times, the method of rolling, and the method of heating vary depending on the condition of the tea leaves. For example, tea leaves harvested in tea plantations that are lacking in nutrients and water have a relatively low moisture content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e If these types of tea leaves are rolled in the same way, the moisture content will decrease and the leaves will crack, or the color will change when heated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It is important to take into account the condition of the tea leaves, the weather of the day, and various other factors and adjust the conditions for the series of operations as appropriate; this is the skill of the \"master.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e After rolling, the tea leaves are dried in a dryer to reduce the moisture content to less than 5% and then the tea is ready to be used. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"letter-spacing: 2px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8e9eb; padding-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e Charcoal roasting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e As the name suggests, this is the process of roasting the tea leaves over charcoal.
