How did the history of Seven Realm Hall green tea come about

"Tea is found in all mountains" (Ming Chongzhen County Annals). Luoyuan tea is the best in terms of quality "(recorded in the Ming Dynasty stone carvings). It can be seen that during the Ming Dynasty, Luoyuan County had already produced a large amount of tea and its tea products were well-known. In history, Qijingtang tea was sold under the brand name "Fujian Luoyuan Yuanminglv" in major cities such as Beijing and Tianjin. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, the production of Qijingtang tea developed rapidly. By the late 1940s, the production of Qijingtang tea was almost on the brink of extinction, and only the name "Qijinglv" remained in old tea houses in Tianjin. It was not until 1974 that this ancient famous tea was excavated and restored. It was produced in various townships such as Xilan, Shibixia, Yuanqian, and Hongshan, with unique quality and style, making it a local famous tea with a long history in Fujian Province

The production method of Qijingtang green tea

Qijingtang tea has a long harvesting period. It is harvested after Qingming Festival every year, and the garden is closed during Bailu. Spring, summer, and autumn tea can be harvested in a year, and the quality of Qijingtang tea harvested between Qingming Festival and Guyu is the best. Qijing Tea uses fresh leaves from local vegetable tea varieties as raw materials, and the picking standard is one bud and one leaf. After four processes: spreading, withering, rolling, and drying

Using high temperature throughout the entire process to maintain a clean and smooth surface of the tea frying pot and prevent the production of smoky and burnt flavors is the key technical point for frying Seven Realm Tea. The specific method is to kill the tea leaves at high temperature, evenly and thoroughly, then knead and twist the tea strips while they are still warm. High temperature fuzz, emits moisture, and sets color and shape. The pot temperature should be raised first and then lowered for sufficient roasting, which not only creates explosive points but also avoids burning. The frying techniques are flexibly mastered and exchanged according to the technical requirements of each process
