Shengzhou huibai tea

Shengzhou Huibai Tea was produced in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, and its origin was Qiangang Village in the northeast corner of Shengzhou. Because the drying process is a "glow pot" process, the traditional practice is to "glow" until the dry tea is white at first and then dried in a drying cage, so it is called "glow white tea". Professor Zhuang Wanfang, a leading tea expert, has made a detailed introduction in his works such as China Famous Tea. At present, there are two main producing areas for producing Huibai tea in Shengzhou, one is the former Qiangang village as the central area, and the other is in Shangwushan village in Guimen township. It is reported that the traditional Qiangang Huibai tea is one of the more special rare teas in China's green tea. After liberation, in order to comply with the needs of the national planned economy and export exchange, all Vietnamese black tea and pearl tea were produced in the original area, which made the tea once extinct among the people. In the mid-1970s, the then Shengxian Native Products Company organized forces to resume trial production, which was successful after years of exploration and efforts. According to Qiu Caichu, in recent years, some places have been imitating the production method of Shengzhou Huibai tea. Although these teas are not named "Huibai", the process is similar, which is unrecognizable by tea merchants and consumers. "At present, the imitation' Huibai' has not had a great impact on Shengzhou Huibai tea." Qiu Caichu said that this is because the output of Huibai tea is still not very high, and the market has sufficient consumption power. "Once a strong market competition is formed, it will definitely bring great disadvantages to the production and sales of Shengzhou Huibai." However, Qiu Caichu also admitted frankly that even if it is Huibai in Shengzhou, the products on the market are mixed, which is related to the place of origin, but the level of the production process is also very related. He told reporters that many tea farmers have not mastered the tea-making skills and can only let others process them. According to his understanding, there used to be a unified standard for the production of Huibai tea in Shengzhou, but now it is gone, which affects the overall frying level. In view of the unique color, aroma, taste, shape and production technology, Huibai tea is a rare tea in China.
