Tea tidbits | Luochun tea, one of China's top 10 teas

If it comes to the legendary "tea" of China, the tea that many people must think of is inevitable, the Lushun tea (), which is regarded as one of the "Ten Best Teas of the Dragon Dan" that is not only old, if it also stands out for both taste, smell and appearance.

A thousand-year legend on Dongting Mountain.

Luochun tea has a long history since the Sui and Tang dynasties (more than 1,000 years ago), much planted at the Dongting Mountain area, by Taihu Lake, in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, where the terrain and climate of this area were particularly favorable to the growth of tea.

🌿 Average weather: 15.5-16 5 ° C

☔ Rainfall: 1,200-1,500 mm / year

🌱 A little loamy and mild acidic.

All this helps the tea tree adapt well and develop the tea leaves to a high quality.

Unique characteristics

• Tea leaves: long slender, tightly spiral roll (snail-like), densely covered with white light hair.

• Tea: Silver Emerald Green, Shining Bright Jade Rod

• Scent: A mild fragrance reminiscent of orchids, irises, and a variety of wildflower scents.

• Flavors: Refreshing, sweet, with a mellow, light fruity smell

Chua Chun tea is therefore reputed to be a green tea with a dimension, smell and taste, complex, worth searching for, and well suited to those who are passionate about the art of drinking tea.

Interesting difference: Mingqian tea vs Yuqian tea

The Luochun tea harvest is divided into 2 main periods, which obviously affects the quality and price of tea:

Mingqian tea (<--plhd--18/>)

• Keep before the Chengemeng Festival

• Small, soft, amino acid-rich tea leaves

• Rich aroma, long lasting

• Deep soft, mellow taste

• Low output, high price

Cha Yuqian ()

• Store the period before "seed rain day" (about early April).

• Tea leaves are longer, more transparent.

• Good quality but second only to Mingqian

• Easy access price. Suitable for beginners to drink quality Chinese green tea.

Brew Tip: Water Temperature Is Heart

Even if you get good quality tea in your hand, if you don't get it in the right way, it can spoil your taste. Especially Luochun tea where the leaves are particularly thin. Only hot water at temperatures between 85 and 90 ° C should be used to preserve the aroma and nutritional value of the tea leaves.

❗ Too Hot Water = Sensitive Evaporative Scent + Bitter Astringent Taste

Why should I try Cha Phi Chun once?

The Lushun tea is not just an ordinary green tea, but an "experience" that combines history, a tender aroma, a light taste, and the art of making tea. It's a tea that really makes you know "sleepiness."

If you are one who is fascinated by the fragrance of flowers, and craves a natural refreshment, Chapa Luchun is the choice to taste once in a lifetime.
