2. Origin
Frozen top oolong tea is a kind of oolong tea produced in Taiwan Province, mainly produced in Frozen Top Mountain in Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan Province Province.
Tea production on frozen roofs has a long history. According to "General History of Taiwan Province", Taiwan Province produces tea for a long time. In the past, it was called Shuishalian (now Puli, Sun Moon Lake, Shuili, Zhushan and other places in Nantou County), which has a loose color and can avoid the heat. Up to now, the tea in five cities is still on the market, and the frozen top is the best, but there is not much. According to legend, in the fifth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1855), Lin Fengchi, a villager from Lugu Township, Nantou, went to Fujian to take an examination and study. When he returned home, he brought back 36 Wuyi oolong tea seedlings and planted them in the frozen top mountain and other places, which gradually developed into today's frozen top tea garden.
Frozen top mountain is a branch of Phoenix Mountain, which lives on a high hill at an altitude of 700 meters. It is said that tea is planted on the mountain. Because it is rainy and the mountain is high and the road is slippery, tea farmers who go up the mountain must jump on their toes (frozen toes) to get to the top of the mountain, so they call this mountain "frozen top". On the top of the frozen mountain, green heart oolong tea and other fine varieties of tea trees have been planted. The mountains are high and dense, the soil is good, and the tea trees are flourishing.
Frozen-topped oolong tea is a kind of packaged tea in Taiwan Province. The so-called "packaged tea" originated from Anxi, Fujian. The local tea shops sell tea in two square pieces of wool paper, and the inside and outside are in contrast. Four pieces of tea are put in, wrapped into a rectangular square package, and the package is covered with the marks of the tea shop, and then sold by the package, which is called "packaged tea". Taiwan Province Baozhong tea belongs to mild or moderate fermented tea, also known as "fragrant oolong tea". Packaged tea can be divided into two types according to different shapes. One type is strip-shaped packaged tea, represented by Wenshan packaged tea. The other kind is hemispherical seed-wrapped tea, represented by "frozen top oolong tea". Known as "North Wenshan and South Frozen Roof".
