Dongfang Meiren Tea Picking

Picking Time: Dongfang Meiren tea is usually picked in June-July every year, when the best quality of Dongfang Meiren tea leaves are made.

Picking Standard: Picking must be done by hand to ensure the integrity and freshness of the tea leaves.

Speciality: The tea leaves of Dongfang Meiren tea must be allowed to be bitten and sucked by small green leafhoppers, so that the tea leaves can produce a unique aroma.

Dongfang Meiren Tea Production:

Withering: The picked tea leaves are placed in a suitable place for withering, so that the tea leaves lose some of their moisture and enhance their softness.

Stir fixation: Destroy the enzyme activity in the tea leaves through high-temperature stir-frying to fix the quality of the tea leaves.

Rolling: The tea leaves after Stir fixation are rolled and twisted to make the tea leaves form a tightly knotted rope, and at the same time, the tea juice is squeezed out.

Fermentation: Fermentation is carried out in a suitable environment to produce the unique aroma and colour of the tea leaves.

Drying: The tea leaves are finally dried to remove excess water and reach the appropriate moisture content.

Screening and Sorting: The tea leaves are screened and sorted according to their size, shape, and quality to ensure that each piece of tea leaves meets the standard.

Dongfang Meiren Tea Brewing Methods:

1. Selection of tea utensils: It is recommended to use porcelain pots or transparent glass cups that are fast in heat transfer and dissipation, so that you can better appreciate the stretching posture of the tea leaves in the water and the clarity and brightness of the tea broth.
2. Control the water temperature: The water temperature for brewing Dongfang Meiren tea is 88-93 degrees. This temperature range can fully stimulate the aroma and flavour of the tea.
3. Putting in tea leaves: According to your personal taste, it is recommended to put in about 3 grams of tea leaves. Of course, if you prefer a heavierflavour, you can increase the amount of tea leaves appropriately.
4. Brewing tips: You can warm the tea set with boiling water first and then put in the tea leaves. In order to protect the fine and tender tea buds and prevent the tea leaves from rolling around in the cup, you should fill the tea set with water along the wall of the cup.
5. Standing time: Allow the tea to stand in the cup for approximately 10 seconds (10 seconds for those who prefer a lighter flavour, 30-45 seconds for those who prefer a heavierflavour). As the number of times of brewing increases, you can extend the resting time appropriately.
6. Tasting Tea Soup: A well-brewed Dongfang Meiren tea has a goldenyellow and bright soup colour, a high and rich aroma, and a sweet and mellow taste. Remember to smell the aroma first, and then taste it slowly!
