@tea-author Were the crispy tea leaves just like pan roast tea leaves?

@xavier, I’m not completely sure that the Chinese named their teas based on the liquid (see @tea-author comment).
For example, a lot of Chinese green tea liquids are quite yellow. You’ll see more green looking […]

Thanks for the clarification @tea-author I’ll pay attention to the copper color next time!
@jackie, yes, it would have been better if the British kept using more colors to keep the tea-naming process uniform. […]

@tea-author I’m still thinking about your interesting replies below but when you mentioned the word industry it prompted me to take a look at your site and I noticed your Tea Industry MBA. From there I went on to look at the courses, fascinating. Did you take the classes online? Would love to hear more. Anyway, another question did you see our Tea…[Read more]

@jackie Our tea MBA courses for the most part are held at Fuzhou University’s School of Management – but we do sometimes have classes off-site (at extra cost) visiting various industries (not all tea-related) while learning very valuable management tools. I’ve found the course to be particularly useful, since I learned so much about Chinese…[Read more]

@jackie I took a look at the Tea Industry Q&A site and bookmarked it. Will be nice to see some activity on there; and participate.

You know what @tea-author, I think it was oolong. Not sure where I got that from I’ll go take another look. Could these teas that are not popular in Fujian somehow end up on the US market?
-
@jackie, yeah, I know it was oolong from Fujian province, but which type of oolong? There are Southern Fujian oolongs and Northern Fujian oolongs. The Southern Fujian oolongs are today distinguished by their light roast, hence green color. Most notable of these is Tieguanyin and other Anxi teas such as Huangjingui, Benshan, Maoxie, etc.; and…[Read more]
-
The reason why Tieguanyin had such high MRLs was because it was so wildly popular back in early 2000. I remember in 2006 when I lived in Longyan, the only tea drunk was Tieguanyin – no other teas at all available in that city – all tea stores only sold Tieguanyin. Coming back in 2012, now there’s little Tieguanyin – everyone is drinking everything…[Read more]

@tea-author this reminds me of Darjeeling. There are more tons of it being sold every year in the world than the total production of this area.
