Quality characteristics of Longjing, a giant Buddha in Xinchang
In the frying process of the giant Buddha Longjing, "Ten Techniques" such as grasping, shaking, riding, taking, throwing, pushing, buckling, pressing and grinding were adopted to form Longjing tea with four unique qualities: beautiful appearance, green color and fragrant and sweet taste. To taste advanced Longjing tea, it is usually brewed in a glass with a water temperature of 85 degrees. The developed Longjing tea looks like blossoming orchids, fragrant and green, fragrant and delicious. It is fragrant and refreshing when you drink it. Lu Ji, a tea man in the Qing Dynasty, once praised: "Longjing tea is really sweet but not fragrant, and it tastes like tasteless. After drinking, I feel that there is a harmony between my teeth and my cheeks, which is tasteless and even tasteless. "

Features: it is produced in mountainous areas surrounded by mountains, with mild climate, abundant rainfall and fertile land, which has high health care value. Regular drinking has many effects such as improving eyesight, diuresis, reducing blood fat, anti-cancer and anti-aging.

At present, there are two basic stereotypes of Longjing tea, two different styles, called green version and yellow version according to Xinchang dialect. The main difference between them lies in the different pursuit of the appearance, color and aroma of the finished tea:

Green version-its main feature is that the fried tea leaves are green and tender in color, lasting in aroma, fresh and sweet in taste, green and bright in soup color, and tender and smooth as flowers at the bottom. In frying, we strive to make tea as green and fragrant as possible without growing grass. That is to say, "green without green gas", the fried tea has its own characteristics in color, fragrance and taste. Especially its chestnut fragrance and fruit fragrance are more obvious.

Yellow version-its main feature is that the fried tea leaves are more yellow and less green. This yellow-and-green style is said to have been borrowed and copied by Longjing Tea, a giant Buddha in Xinchang, at the beginning of its creation. Not verified. The main characteristics of this tea are high aroma and strong aroma, that is, the high aroma is heavier, and the subsequent chestnut fruit aroma is more obvious. When frying, it is mainly to prevent the scorching and bitterness that may be caused by high fire, so as to be "yellow but not scorched".

The above two kinds of tea products are typical colors, and the changes in the middle are mainly caused by different frying methods and time, forming different styles. The purpose is to meet the different needs and hobbies of different consumers, and there is no causal relationship with tea quality, variety, origin, soil, climate and growth environment. Under the premise of "green without green gas, yellow without burnt taste", each kind of tea should generally conform to the giant Buddha Longjing tea: the shape is flat, smooth and sharp.
