Rizhao green tea, a specialty of Rizhao City, Shandong Province. Mainly concentrated in Jufeng Town, Houcun Town, Gaoxing Town, Heshan Town and other places, this area has the best quality. Rizhao is one of the three green tea cities recognized by the world's tea experts (the other two are Shizuoka in Japan and Baocheng in Korea). Rizhao green tea is famous for its bright yellow-green soup, rich chestnut flavor, mellow aftertaste, thick leaves, high aroma and resistance to brewing. China green tea upstart? . Rizhao green tea is the northernmost tea in China. Because it is located in the north, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so this kind of tea grows slowly, but because of this, it has the characteristics that southern tea does not have. ?

Rizhao green tea is divided into spring tea, summer tea and autumn tea according to the production season.

spring tea

It is known as the best of Rizhao green tea, especially the first batch picked in spring, because after a long winter baptism, the growth of tea and buds is particularly slow, and the output of the first batch is extremely rare. A batch of spring tea was put on the market before and after Grain Rain, which is characterized by tender leaves and thick leaves.

summer tea

The quality of three-season tea is slightly lower, because after a long period of hot simmering, the tea is brown and thick, not resistant to brewing, and contains less minerals and trace elements. Of course, its price is also the cheapest.

Autumn tea

It is made of tea leaves picked around beginning of autumn. At this time, the temperature of the picked tea decreased, the rain decreased compared with that in summer, and the growth of tea slowed down. Therefore, although the tea at this time is not as mellow as spring tea, the quality is still better than summer tea. Autumn tea is thicker than summer tea, and fried dry tea is slightly thicker. The color of dry tea is green, but the number of yellow leaves increases. On the palate, it has a strong aroma and a unique autumn tea fragrance.

Rizhao spring tea is not as careless as southern tea, with smaller fresh buds and thicker leaves. Because most local tea leaves are fried in rolls, they are rarely fried with silver needles. Generally, pure buds are not picked, and most of them are one leaf and one bud, two leaves and one bud, and two leaves and one bud are unfolded. Stir-fried together, so Rizhao green tea looks irregular after brewing.

Dry tea is very thin, green and white, and white tea is covered with tea leaves. There is obvious aroma after opening the bag. Put a handful in the palm of your hand, breathe the hot air, and you can smell the fragrance of chestnuts. Green tea is more suitable for glasses, and it should be brewed with 85-degree hot water.
