What kind of tea is Dongding Oolong tea?

Your question is a bit general and very broad!

1. If divided from the six major tea categories in China (black tea, green tea, white tea, yellow tea, dark tea, and oolong tea), Dongding Oolong tea belongs to the oolong tea category. Oolong tea also includes a wide range of products, such as Taiwan's high mountain tea, Dongding Oolong tea, Fujian's Tieguanyin, Wuyi Mountain's Dahongpao, etc. are all oolong teas;

2. In terms of fermentation degree, Dongding Oolong tea It is a lightly fermented, roasted oolong tea;

3. In terms of production technology, the production process of frozen top oolong tea is divided into: picking, sunlight withering, indoor withering, frying, rolling, wrapping and kneading Tea, baking and drying. Therefore, many Taiwanese teas, including Dongding Oolong tea, are in the shape of spherical or hemispherical granules. Very tight.

4. In terms of historical origins, Dongding Oolong tea was transplanted from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian to Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty. For more details, you can search on Baidu. There is a very clear introduction, so I won’t go into details here. . So in terms of taste, it is similar to Dahongpao.

5. The origin of the name Dongding Oolong Tea is very simple. Because it grows on Dongding Mountain in Taiwan, it is called Dongding Oolong Tea! The reason why that mountain is called Dongding Mountain is because it is foggy and rainy, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult. People who go up the mountain have to tighten their toes, which is commonly known as "frozen toes" in Taiwan, in order to go up. This is the name of Dongding Mountain. Origin: Tea is also famous for its mountains.

I hope my answer can help you. If you are still unclear, you are welcome to discuss it together!

What is the difference between ordinary oolong tea and frozen top oolong tea?

Oolong tea: also known as green tea, semi-fermented tea. It is a unique and distinctive tea category among the major tea categories in my country. Oolong tea combines the production methods of green tea and black tea. Its quality is between green tea and black tea. It has the strong flavor of black tea, the refreshing fragrance of green tea, and has the reputation of having green leaves with red edges. The pharmacological effects of oolong tea are prominent in fat decomposition, weight loss and bodybuilding. It is called beauty tea and bodybuilding tea in Japan.

Representative teas include Wenshan Baozhong tea, Anxi Tieguanyin, Dongding Oolong tea, and Wuyi Dahongpao.

Dongding Oolong tea is a category of oolong tea.

Dongding Oolong tea is produced in the Dongding Mountain area, a branch of Fenghuang Mountain in Nantou County, Taiwan. The main planting area, Lugu Township, has an average altitude of 500 to 900 meters, an average annual temperature of 22°C, an annual precipitation of 2,200 mm, high air humidity, and clouds and fog all year round. The tea garden has brown, highly viscous soil mixed with weathered fine soft rocks, and has good drainage and water storage conditions.

The origin of the name of Dongding and tea: Judging from the natural environment of the tea garden, there is no severe cold even in winter, and the snow is frozen. So why is it called Dongding? It is said that because Dongding Mountain is foggy and rainy, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. People who go up the mountain have to tighten their toes, which is commonly known as "frozen toes" in Taiwan, in order to go up. This is the origin of the name of Dongding Mountain, and tea is also named after the mountain. .

Picking technology and tea quality: Dongding tea can be picked all year round. The picking period for spring tea is from late March to late May; for summer tea, from late May to late August; for autumn tea, in August. Late to late September; winter tea is from mid-October to late November. Pick the undeveloped young shoots of one bud, two or three leaves. The best picking time is from 10 am to 2 pm every day, and they are sent to the factory for processing immediately after harvesting. The production process is divided into two major processes: preliminary production and refining. In the initial production, greening is the main process. After slight fermentation, the picked tea leaves are exposed to the sun for 20 to 30 minutes to soften the tea leaves and moderately evaporate the water, which helps protect the integrity of the tea buds during rolling. It should be turned frequently during withering to allow the tea greens to fully absorb oxygen and produce fermentation. When the tea greens are fermented to produce a fragrant aroma, they will be cured at high temperature. The tea leaves are then shaped into hemispherical shapes, and then go through a winnowing machine to completely separate the thick, thin, and sliced ??tea leaves, and then send them to the roasting machine for high-temperature roasting to reduce the caffeine content in the tea leaves. The finished product of Dongding Oolong tea has a hemispherical curved shape, dark green color and natural fragrance. When brewing, the tea leaves naturally rush to the top of the pot lid, and the soup is orange-yellow in color, with a mellow and sweet taste, exuding the fragrance of osmanthus, with a strong sweet aftertaste, and no residue is left at the bottom of the cup after drinking. The quality of its tea is that spring tea is the best, with high fragrance, strong flavor and bright color; autumn tea is second best; summer tea is of poorer quality.

What kind of tea is Dongding Longjing?

I have never heard of the name Dongding Longjing. Dongding Longjing is two completely different teas.

Dongding--

Dongding Oolong tea, commonly known as Dongding tea, is a very well-known tea in Taiwan. Dongding Oolong tea is a kind of Baozhong tea in Taiwan. The so-called "Baozhong" The name "tea" comes from Anxi, Fujian. The tea sold in local tea shops is served with two square pieces of paper with rough edges, with the inside and outside matching each other. Put 4 taels of tea leaves into it and wrap it in a rectangular bag. The outside of the bag is stamped with the tea shop's mark, and then press It is sold in packages, which is called "packaging". Taiwanese Baozhong tea is a lightly or moderately fermented tea, also known as "fragrant oolong tea". Baozhong tea can be divided into two categories according to their different shapes. One type is strip-shaped Baozhong tea, represented by "Wenshan Baozhong Tea"; the other is hemispherical Baozhong tea, represented by "Dongding Oolong Tea". It is known as "Wenshan Mountain in the North and Fengding Mountain in the South". Originating in Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan, it is mainly a semi-fermented tea made from Qingxin Oolong. Traditionally, its fermentation level is around 30%.

The uniqueness of the tea-making process is that after drying, the tea leaves need to be wrapped in cloth and rolled into balls repeatedly to make the tea into a semi-fermented hemisphere, which is called "cloth-kneaded tea" or "hot ball-kneading". Traditional frozen top oolong tea has a distinct roasted flavor, but in recent years there are also lightly roasted teas. In addition, there is also "aged charcoal-roasted tea", which is roasted repeatedly at high temperatures and slowly every year to produce a tea with a rich aftertaste. After the September 21st earthquake in 1999, tea farmers in the Lugu area developed "Dongding Guifei Tea" during post-disaster reconstruction. The Lugu Township Farmers Association holds tea competitions every year to select special (champion tea), first-class, second-class, third-class, excellent tea (five plums, four plums, three plums, two plums, one plum) and other grades . It is made from the buds and leaves of Qingxin Oolong and other fine varieties, which are sun-greened, air-dried, wave-greened, stir-fried, rolled, initially baked, kneaded multiple times, re-baked, and then roasted. The color is dark green and oily, the soup is yellow-green, and the taste is sweet and rich.

Longjing--

Hulongjing is produced in Xihu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The tea leaves are flat, tender, neatly striped, uniform in width, greenish-yellow, smooth to the touch, and one bud. One or two leaves; the buds are longer than the leaves, generally less than 3 cm long, the buds and leaves are evenly formed into flowers, without pedicles or fragments, and are small and exquisite. Longjing tea has a refreshing aroma, while counterfeit Longjing tea mostly has a grassy flavor, has many stems and is not smooth to the touch.

Four tricks:

1. "Green" braid: At first glance, Bentang and Sand Turtle are both green, but if they are all eye-catchingly green, they must be Sand turtle. There are 168 square kilometers of special and high-grade new tea in our district, especially the top-quality "Shifeng Longjing" from the "West Lake Longjing". The color is exactly emerald green and what Longjing tea farmers call "brown beige", and the green and yellow colors are naturally mixed. , just like the smearing of ink in an ink painting. As for the sand turtle, the counterfeiting techniques are quite high, and it is also green with a yellowish color. However, this is made by increasing the heat in the fire army pot. The complexion is as yellow as edema, and there are even faint traces of scorching;

2. Smell "fragrant": The book says that West Lake Longjing tea is "as fragrant as orchid" - this metaphor is only half correct, compared with Guolan Fragrance, the fragrance of West Lake Longjing tea is stronger. Tea farmers in Xihu Township intuitively and vividly call it "the fragrance of (fried) broad beans", which is the fragrance of "orchid beans". The "Longjing" pond is especially the special and high-end "Shifeng Longjing". Don't add water before putting it in the cup. Fasten the lid and let it "stuff" for a few minutes. When you lift the lid and smell it, the unique aroma of orchid beans will rise. There is a hint of sweetness from honey mixed into it, and the "fragrance" is especially strong and tangy when you refill the water. The sand turtle is also fragrant, but much lighter, and the Xinchang product has a "chestnut aroma", the Xiaoshan product has a vague "earthy smell", and the ones from Shaoxing and other places have mixed aromas - none of them are orchid bean aroma. When brewing and adding water, It is most likely to reveal the filling after three times;

3. Taste the "mellow taste": drink slowly to one-third of the first brew, then drink to half of it with water - this is also a completely amateurish experience. It can also tell whether it is genuine or not. The taste of Bentang is "fragrant" and "mellow". The orchid bean fragrance has a hint of honey's sweetness, and the taste buds have a unique texture that Longjing tea farmers call "slippery". This texture Tsingtao beer is different from any other brand. The weight and texture of the taste buds are "heavier", and the "mellow" or slippery feeling is more delicate, similar to flour to cornstarch. Next, take a few sips of saliva for "aftertaste", and the elegant and sweet taste will clearly moisten your throat. After seven or eight minutes of sipping, the sweet taste is still there. The book calls it "I can't bear to gargle after three mouthfuls." As for the sand turtle, its original shape is revealed at first taste. First of all, the fragrance is obviously light. It feels similar to Zhang Shengji's old duck pot with less salt. This is because it lacks the unique sweet aftertaste and mellow texture of Bentang's "mellow taste". At the same time, It shows various mixed flavors: some are mixed with a hint of the power of well water, some are mixed with earthy smell, and so on. Even the high mountain tea in Xinchang and Zhuji, which is very easy to distinguish from Bentang, has a faint sweetness. The tea is all like sucrose, and the sweetness of honey is gone;

4. Observe the "beauty of shape": the sand turtle is carefully imitated, the Mingqian tea is also shaped like a lotus core, and the brewing is also like a "bird's tongue" "Hou Bu, the "bowl nail" is standing upright, and the "eagle claw" is hanging upside down, what can I do? Let’s hit the turtle’s Achilles’ heel: it’s carefully imitated, always uniform in length, and the fried core, slices, and minced meat are often refreshing. As for Bentang, because the emperor's daughter did not have to worry about getting married and produced and sold her own products, the final process was often "extensive" and often varied in length, and the tea cores, tea slices, and tea powder were often not exhausted. In addition, generally speaking, Bentang tends to be "broader" in appearance, with a strong and plump body, while Sand Turtles are mostly "skinny" and slender, with neat stripes.

They are different

Is frozen oolong tea a specialty of Taiwan?

Is frozen oolong tea a specialty of Taiwan?

~Yes! !

Who told me?

~ "Dongding Oolong Tea" is also called "Dongding Tea": In fact, as the name suggests, it is the tea grown in Dongding Mountain.

Dongding Mountain in Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan, due to the four-season temperature The name is derived from the low clouds and fog that cover it all year round. The soil here is rich in moisture and lime, which makes the tea produced extremely superior. Therefore, it is called frozen top tea due to the convenience of the place name. The origin of frozen top tea is in the Lugu Tea District of Nantou County. , the earliest one is near Dongding Lane in Zhangya Village, and later joined by Yonglong and Fenghuang Villages. After 1976, it became famous due to the success of competition promotions and its excellent production, which highlighted its characteristics. The altitude is between 600 and 800. .

According to legend, Mr. Lin Fengchi of Lugu Township, Nantou County, went to Fujian Province to pass the examination in the fifth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1855) and returned home. He brought back 36 Qingxin Oolong tea seedlings from Wuyi Mountain, part of which (It is said that there are 12 plants) planted on the foothills beside Qilin Pond in Lugu Township, which is the beginning of frozen top tea. After more than 100 years of development, especially in the past decade or so, it has become a well-known Taiwanese specialty.

Dongding tea belongs to the green tea category and is a lightly fermented tea between Baozhong tea and oolong tea (the traditional fermentation degree is about 25%~35%, but now it has dropped to about 15%). During the tea making process, hot mass kneading is a unique technique for making frozen top tea. Traditional frozen top tea has a high degree of fermentation and is roasted and refined, so it is said to be "glutinous rice with floral aroma". Due to the competition, the current frozen top tea has a lighter degree of fermentation and has a high-flowering aroma. However, each tea sample is different, and it is the Taiwanese tea with the most changes.
