Lobster Flower Tea

Lobster Flower Tea

　　Lobster Flower Tea is produced at tea plantations such as Yiwan Shui, Sancha, and Huangpo in Yongding District, Zhangjiajie. The tea bushes grow on mountain slopes at altitudes ranging from 450 to 1,000 meters, making it one of China's renowned teas.

　　Lobster Flower Tea places great emphasis on raw material selection and craftsmanship. It is handpicked between Pure Brightness and Grain Rain seasons, using only intact one-bud-one-leaf sprouts. The leaves undergo six meticulous processes: fixation, rolling, shaping, tipping, baking, and sorting. This tea features a unique appearance, with flat, curly leaves shaped like lobsters, covered in silvery tips, and displaying a vibrant green color. When brewed, the tea leaves undulate, resembling lobsters playing in water. It boasts a rich, fragrant aroma, crystal-clear emerald liquor, a mellow and refreshing taste, and tender, bright green leaves. Drinking it leaves a lingering fragrance on the palate, refreshing the mind and invigorating the body.

　　Since its debut in 1981, Lobster Flower Tea has been rated as one of the high-quality products of Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture and Hunan Province for multiple consecutive years, earning the Provincial High-Quality Product Certificate. In 1984, it was named the top high-quality tea product in Hunan Province. In 1985, it participated in the National Famous Tea Evaluation and was selected as one of the sixteen high-quality famous teas in China, winning the Golden Cup Award for High-Quality Product Tea from the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, and Fishery. In May 1988, during Hunan Province’s “Five Famous” selection event, it was awarded the Golden Cup for Famous Tea. In October 1988, it participated in the First National Food Expo in Beijing and received the National Silver Award. The product is packaged in small, silver-gray rigid boxes with an elegant and distinctive design that won the National High-Quality Packaging Award.

　　Lobster Flower Tea enjoys strong sales both domestically and internationally, and is highly favored by customers. It has been recommended as a premium banquet tea by hotels across Zhangjiajie City.
