Extended information:

The production of oolong tea is somewhat legendary. According to "Fujian Tea" and "Fujian Tea Folklore", it was recorded in Anxi County, Fujian Province during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. There was a retired general and an expert hunter in Nanyan Village, Changkeng Township. His surname was Su and his name was Long. Because he was dark and strong, the villagers called him Wulong.

One spring, Wulong hung a tea basket on his waist and went up to the mountain to pick tea with a shotgun on his back. At noon, a mountain deer suddenly slipped past him. Wulong shot the injured mountain deer with his gun and tried to escape. Towards the mountains and forests, Oolong followed closely and finally captured the prey. When he carried the mountain deer home, it was already time to light the lamp. Oolong and his whole family were so busy killing and tasting game that they had completely forgotten about making tea. .

The next morning, the whole family was busy frying the tea picked yesterday. Unexpectedly, the fresh leaves that had been left overnight had become rimmed with red and exuded a refreshing fragrance. When the tea was prepared, the taste was particularly fragrant and strong, without the bitter taste of the past. After careful consideration and repeated testing, After withering, shaking, semi-fermentation, baking and other processes, a new tea product of excellent quality, oolong tea, was finally produced.
