Flavor and taste characteristics of Yingde black tea efficacy and function taboos and stories of Anglo-German black tea

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.
