History

Yingde black tea is produced in Yingde, Guangdong, China. As we all know, Cantonese like drinking tea very much, and the kung fu tea ceremony also originated here. But all along, Guangdong people mainly consume oolong tea and black tea. Even the local Daye green tea has only a small market share. In China, black tea is not as popular as green tea, so people prefer to produce green tea.

However, Guangdong is a major foreign trade port, bordering Hong Kong and Macao, which were colonies of Britain and Portugal until the end of the last century. Europeans prefer black tea; it accounts for a larger share of exports. Therefore, if you produce black tea locally, you will get more benefits.

Therefore, the local Hongqi tea factory transplanted large-leaf tea trees from Yunnan in 1955, iterated and optimized continuously to find the tea trees with high yield and most suitable for the local environment.

In 1959, the tea factory successfully produced Yingde black tea. Since the original intention of the master of tea craftsmanship is to export to Europe, almost all of the tea is the specification of broken leaves. After its publication, Yingde black tea quickly became popular all over the world because of its unique technology and quality.

Features

[appearance] whether it is broken tea or whole-leaf tea, the dried leaves of Yingde black tea look very tight. But compared with other types of black tea, its color is not so dark and shiny. Like moonlight white tea, there is fluff on one side of the leaf; people call it "Jinhao".

[aroma] the biggest difference between Yingde black tea and other black tea is its unique aroma. It has an active and strong floral fragrance, but the overall feeling is soft and fresh. After a sip, the aroma will stay in your mouth all the time, making you feel fresh and comfortable.

[taste] because it is also made from Yunnan big-leaf tea trees, the taste of Yingde black tea is similar to that of Pu'er raw tea. The degree of fermentation is moderate, slightly bitter and astringent. But because of the chemical reaction with the taste buds, it will soon disappear and become sweet. In addition, like its aroma, the taste of Yingde tea is light, not as mellow as other black teas.

[benefits] the leaves of big-leaf tea trees usually contain more nutrients. Therefore, Yingde black tea may have more benefits to the human body. Especially under the same circumstances, the content of caffeine in tea is much higher than that in other black teas. It may be better for losing weight.

In addition, Yingde black tea contains more tea polyphenols, such as lycopene, theaflavins and so on. These rich nutrients make Yingde tea easy to form a gold ring in the brewing process, symbolizing high quality.
