Understanding the production areas of tea

You will have an overall concept of Chinese tea.

Let’s take a look at it together

Green tea is one of the most widely consumed teas in China, with a wide range of production areas, including the southeast, northwest, and northwestern provinces and cities, and almost no places that do not produce green tea.

In addition to our familiar famous green tea – West Lake Longjing Huangshan Mao Feng Biluochun Xinyang Mao Jian, etc., a lot of small places will also produce green tea, but the visibility is relatively low, usually in the local self-sales.

The most recognized production areas for white tea are Fuding and Zhenghe in Fujian Province. However, because of the rise of white tea in the past few years, some other provinces and cities have also begun to introduce and produce white tea.

There has been a lot of debate about which of Fuding and Zhenghe is the origin of white tea, but as far as white tea on the market is concerned, Fuding white tea accounts for the majority of white tea. The quality of white tea from these two places is very good, but there are some differences in flavor, so tea lovers can take what they like.

When buying white tea, in addition to focusing on the place of origin, white tea is categorized according to the raw material from young to old into white silver needle, white peony, gongmei (also known as shoumei).

Yellow tea is more famous in sichuan mengding yellow bud, hunan junshan silver needle, anhui hoshan yellow bud.

Yellow tea because of its popularity is not high and, yellow tea production difficulty is high in, the market is rarely seen, so the category is relatively small.

The production area of black tea is also very wide, but the production of black tea is more provinces have Yunnan, Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, etc. We often hear the name of several kinds of black tea: Dian Hong, Chuan Hong, Qi Hong, Ying Hong.

We often hear the name of several kinds of black tea: Dian Hong, Sichuan Hong, Qi Hong, Ying Hong, have you found a law, most of the names of black tea is “the abbreviation of the name of the place + red”, to give a few examples: Dian Hong = Yunnan Black Tea

Sichuan red = Sichuan black tea
Qi Hong = Keemun black tea
Yinghong = Yingde black tea

In addition, black tea and Jinjunmei, Zhengshan Xiaojiao, Jiuqu Hongmei and other “not according to the formula” of the name of the tea. And in recent years this black tea more and more.

Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan prevalent Gongfu tea, talking about Gongfu tea, not only brewing tea needs work skills, but has been a way of life and the attitude of tea.

Zeleni čaj, also known as oolong tea, combines the fresh aroma of green tea and the richness of black tea, and is a semi-fermented tea. Oolong tea is the most suitable for brewing with the method of Gongfu tea, and Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan, where it is prevalent, are naturally also the main production areas of oolong tea:
In the south of Fujian, there is Tieguanyin, and in the north, there is Wuyi Rock Tea;
Guangdong is best known for its Phoenix Single-Cluster tea;
Taiwan is famous for its high mountain teas.

The regions that produce black tea are also relatively fixed, with large production mainly in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Yunnan.

Black tea has historically been supplied to border ethnic minority areas, because border areas have fewer vegetables and more meat, in order to help digest food and balance nutrition, need to drink more tea.
