Processing is definitely extremely important; I might have mentioned it in the video. The soil in Anxi is completely different than in Wuyishan (not of vulcanic origin). So you might not find that minerality in Wuyi Rock tea from Anxi. But, as long as the vendor is honest an sell the product specifying its real origin, there is nothing wrong to it. Btw, similar soil as in Wuyishan is present in other tea regions of China. for example in Fenghuang the rocks are of similar composition and Dancong tastes often mineral... but was never advertise in China as such and in fact it is much less famous... everyone know DHP in China, but only tea freaks are aware of Dancong.
Price question! what about 11.11? does it work on the price yancha tea? I would like to buy Shui Xian, and I'm outside the China (Ukraine). Tell me online shop for it, please
Hi Angela, not sure if 11.11 works for tea, but there might be shops applying a discount then. As for Shui Xian, we have this one: www.nannuoshan.org/products/laocong-shui-xian?variant=12974248230978 and ship to Ukraine.
1. So Is Zhengyan the smaller area or the bigger UNESCO area? 2. What is the Gaoshan area (which is also part of UNESCO) called? Banyan? Zhengyan? Zhoucha? Waishan? 3. Is waishan also Zhoucha? Or depending on elevation, soil quality, it's either Banyan or either Zhoucha? 4. what would be the UNESCO area between the small protected area and the big Gaoshan protected area be? 5. If the soil is good enough could Banyan be anywhere in wuyi county?
1) Zhengyan is within the small green area, but not all the green area is zhengyan. 2) Waishan or gaoshan, locales in Wuyi refers to it as Gaoshan or also with the name of the highest peak, Huanggangshan. 3) Not necessarily. Waishan means "outside of the protected are" but zhoucha can also be inside, along the banks of the rivers. The difference between Zhenyan, banyan and zhoucha is not in the altitude, but in the soil quality. 4) I have never been there, but I know there is also Yancha production in that area. It would be referred to as waishan.
@@nannuoshan So basically going by geographic classification and then soil quality is this correct: Wuyi Yancha (In Wuyi County): Protected Area: (can be: Zhengyan, Banyan, Zhoucha) -> Scenic Area -> 3 pits 2 Streams Outside of Protected Area: (can be: Banyan, Zhoucha) ->...outside places like Gaoshan etc.
ize1000009, if I interpretat your message the way it was meant, yes, it seems fairly right. Although, outside of the protected area, not all is referred to as either banyan or Zhoucha. Mist of it is simy called waishan or not categorized at all.
Are there maps with all this tea-specific information, similar to the very detailed maps we have for vineyards? See an example for Burgundy: weinlagen-info.de/#bereich_id=64
Not to my knowledge; I have seen some printed tea maps in China, but for the whole country, not specific. Haven't seen anything for Wuyishan. I know there were maps available in wuyishan shops showing the different areas, but those maps showed different information from each other (no surprice). The best way to find location is using Chinese character on map.baidu.com/. But that's also not that easy and straightforward.
I have some DHP type tea made from TGY leaves from a knowledgeable farmer in Anxi. It's very good. So I think it depends on who makes the tea.
