I will introduce a very famous kind of tea produced here in Fujian Province. It is called Tie
Guan fin and it is considered as premium tea in China.
It is cultivated in southern Fujian, around the county of Anxi near Quanzhou (not far from
Xiamen). If you ever go there, you will see spectacular tea plantations on the hills. There are tea
bushes everywhere up the mountains and it's really picturesque. Tourists like to go there to taste
the local specialties and take pictures of the stunning scenery.
It is an oolong-style tea which is very close to green tea. The flavor is not so strong. We
describe the taste as flowery, very delicate. When people drink it, they always say it is sweet and
refreshing. There are many different varieties of Tie Guan Yin and they are harvested at different
times. The tea leaves have different colors according to the variety and the aroma (= smell) each
one produces is slightly different. The price also varies according to the category.
In China, tea is a very important aspect of the culture. We drink tea on a daily basis. We think
it cools people down or helps them digest after a big meal. It is probably the healthiest drink. It’s
supposed to be good for your heart and blood circulation.
We often offer tea as a gift for festivals or big occasions. It is always appreciated and people
like to invite their friends over to enjoy a cup of Tie Guan fin.
