Over the last few years green tea has become very trendy and is available inside most stores and

cafés. It is also used in every kinds of goods such because shampoo, face cream, candles and a lot of other daily items. Oolong tea is

produced from the same plant, which is called Camellia Sinensis. The dissimilarity is that Oolong is a semi-fermented brew whereas green tea is unfermented.

The fermentation practice is carried out by a capable worker who can ferment the tea to lots of different levels to create

different varieties. The leaves are stimulated until the oxidization process reaches the desired level and then cooked to finish the procedure.

The leaves are further processed following the fermentation to increase the smell, texture and the flavor. This is done by rolling and rubbing the tea. It it

possible to achieve lots of different levels of tea, and when the processing is above a knowledgeable master of

Oolong will check the leaves and provide them a grade.

The history of Oolong tells us that it was first produced in Fujian province inside China. Several of the best tea still comes from this

area although it is these days also produced inside many other places including Taiwan, Vietnam and Thailand.

One of the reasons that green tea has become so stylish is that there are believed to lots of health benefits which can be obtained by

frequent drinking. These benefits are also reported to exist in Oolong and are retained even after the tea is processed.

Some of the common benefits claimed are the stimulation of the metabolism and the ability to boost the

digestion.

If you are interested in trying a few Oolong then it is suggested to discover a value supplier. There are a

lot of sellers on the Internet who can provide good tea and lots of who be able to make available not so wonderful tea. The stuff in the local

Chinese store tends to be of fantastically low worth and not worth buying. Look for a specialist tea

merchant and try any different ones to find the greatest value.

Several of the extra popular varieties include Gao Shan, Tie Guan Yin, Vietnamese Golden Buds and Formosa Oolong which comes from Taiwan. Don’t be afraid to

get stuck inside and try several varieties. I be able to talk you that a

good Oolong is essentially a

excellent tea so if you are not impressed with what you buy then shop around for another

merchant since the groovy stuff is out there.

Dragon Well Chinese tea was promoted by imperial history

Another key factor that made Dragon Well Chinese Tea so famous is its uncompetitive imperial history.

Dragon Well Chinese tea successfully has long fascinated Chinese rulers.

Firstly in the 17th century, one of the greatest Chinese Emperors, Kangxi( the 2nd emperor in Qing Dynasty) began to make it a tribute tea.

Then it was his grandson Qianlong, the fourth emperor of Qing Dynasty.

In Qianlong’s reign period, he visited West Lake located in Zhejiang province among his several trips to Southern China. Under the Lion Peak Mountain in the Hugong Temple, Emperor Qianlong was presented with a glass of Dragon Well Chinese tea.
 
It were 18 tea bushes which were in front of the Temple. He was impressed so much that he classified them as “Imperial Trees”.

That was an exceptional event. In China, very few plants were titled with imperial names. Currently, thousands of tourists visited these 18 bushes in West Lake each day.

Now, we have uncountable tribute teas. Dragon Well organic Tea was not the only one. But while other teas perished and were forgotten, Dragon Well Chinese tea’s charms endure to modern China with Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai…

Both of them were very fond of it. When they had time, they always visited the organic Dragon Well Chinese tea gardens. Around 1950s, that happened.

Today, the tradition of honor tea continues. The Chinese White House (Zhongnanhai) steadily gathers large quantity for their own use.

At present, our president Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiaobao also love drinking Dragon Well green tea… It is turn for Mr. Hu Jintao and Mr. Wen Jiabao…

On top of that, Dragon Well Chinese tea even attracted former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who visit the tribute tea gardens.

Dragon Well tea is the tea which is quite rightly the most royal tea. Therefore, the Queen of Chinese Tea was put on to Dragon Well tea.

Nowadays, as technique developing, more and more Chinese provinces are able to produce high quality of organic Longjing tea, particularly Fujian province which has good climate. Today, not only imperial emperors, but also common people can enjoy drinking Dragon Well Chinese tea due to larger quantity of Dragon Well CHinese tea.

Dragon Well green tea, the most royal tea in the world! So why not enjoy the most royal tea!

Brian Fraser- Cooking Tea

When you’re ready, you will get to know Pu-erh tea. It will be the best thing you can do for the health of your body, mind, and spirit. Pu-erh is the healthiest of all the teas and is widely available today in the West.

There seems to be endless media hype about green tea. And there are certainly health benefits of green tea. But Pu-erh is better for you. It has more antioxidants than green tea though it’s usually unsung by the media.

And Pu-erh has probiotics too, since it’s fermented. This is like yogurt or the more obscure kefir. They’re friendly bacteria that help your digestion and ward off sickness instead of cause it.

Pu-erh also is known as a powerful cholesterol fighter. Studies have shown it to lower cholesterol as well as some major statin medications. It’s the best tea you can drink with a meal high in fat since it cuts the grease.

GT can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Other research also suggests that the benefits of green tea include some effects against cancer. These properties have given rise to the “Asian paradox” whereby in spite of heavy smoking, the populations of Asia and Japan do not seem to experience the same prevalence of negative consequences of smoking such as myocardial infarction, stroke, blocked arteries, angina, thrombosis and even sudden death. This is thought to be associated with the large quantities of GT that are consumed.

There are two kinds of Pu-erh: raw and ripe. The raw is “as-is” and the ripe is cooked to make it seem more aged. It is the only tea that can improve with age and for this reason is often compared to wine.

Finally, there are spiritual health benefits to know about. Pu-erh might be considered the most spiritual of all the teas, and this is an honor considering that tea has such a vast root in the ancient Orient and branches from Britain to the rest of the world in the modern era.

It’s often described as a living tea. Sampling different ones from different vendors will show you unique personalities just as you’ll find with meeting new people. It is indeed living water, not only the spiritual but the holy tea.

Do a search on the Internet for Pu-erh tea. And reward yourself with some. It will replace not only coffee for you but also alcohol. It’s the best favor you could possibly do for yourself

What Makes Tea A Low Oxidization Drink?

Posted by GreenTeaFan on April 24, 2009 – 2:36 am
Filed under Food and Drink

It is astonishing just how much tea is drunk around the world and it is one of the most popular drinks in the world and for thousands of years it has remained so.

Tea is normally purchased already prepared in one of two ways both as a sealed packet containing loose tea leaves and you also have tea bags which contain enough tea for one cup in a perforated bag. To make a drink of tea either the tea bag or loose tea must be dropped into boiling water for however long you require the length of time being the deciding factor for how strong the tea tastes.

There are many different types of tea and each type may be processed differently that enables you to differentiate between the flavors but it will also be affected by which specific type of plant was grown as well as the area it was grown in.

There are several regions of Asia where where tea has been grown for many centuries and many of these areas suit the growth of the tea leaves perfectly due to their warm and rainy summers and being grown at higher altitudes, which suits the growing requirements of the tea plant .

It was the Chinese who first developed tea and they still produce huge quantities but tea is big business and there are a lot of competing countries eager to grow tea plants to provide work and profits for their people who live in regions suitable for cultivation.

The process used to produce tea is what decides on the classification as to the type of tea produced and four distinctive types of true teas are the green, black, white, and oolong
but flavors will vary depending on where in the world the tea was grown and which variety of tea plants was used.

To produce the tea leaves we all know a selection of whole tea leaves from a specific region will be selected
the leaves will then be put through the oxidation processing method and the eventual tea produced will be decided by the amount of oxidization used.

When you look at tea in your local store you will see many varieties on sale though there are really only four types of tea available and for the least amount of oxidation try white tea with green tea coming next on the list.

The last of the four are the oolong tea but if you are looking for the highest levels of oxidization go for the black, which is also known as red, this being the last of our different types of tea and these are blended to produce the branded teas you see on the shelves of stores.
