Oolong tea is one of the six major types of tea. It belongs to semi-fermented tea.

1

Southern Fujian oolong tea is mainly produced in Anxi, Yongchun, Nan'an, Tong'an and other places in southern Fujian. Anxi Tieguanyin, which is popular in the north and south of the river, is the representative of southern Fujian Oolong. In addition to Tieguanyin, there are also varieties such as Golden Gui, Yongchun Bergamot, and Southern Fujian Narcissus.

Tieguanyin is the crown of Anxi tea. It is an oolong tea made from Tieguanyin tea. It is both a tea tree name and a tea name. Tieguanyin tea sticks are curly, plump, fresh in color and hoarfrost on the leaf surface. The color of the tea soup is golden yellow, the aroma is strong and lasting, and the entrance is sweet with orchid fragrance.

Northern Fujian oolong is mainly produced in northern Fujian, including Wuyishan, Jianou, Jianyang, Shuiji and other places. There are mainly two types of Wuyi rock tea and northern Fujian narcissus, of which Wuyi Mountain rock tea is the most famous.

There are many deep pits and huge valleys in Wuyi Mountain. Tea farmers use rock tiles, stone crevices and stone crevices to build stone fences to build gardens to grow tea, hence the name of rock tea. The rock tea strips are plump and long, dark brown, lustrous, and bright. The leaves are uniform in color and green with red edges. The tea soup has a unique "rock rhyme" and a fascinating "rock bone flower fragrance".
