Xingang Hanging Green Tea

　　Xingang Hanging Green Tea (Huaiji Gaoshanqing Agricultural Products Co., Ltd.)

　　The company has over 20 years of experience in tea cultivation and processing. It has trained a group of skilled workers proficient in tea garden management, tea planting, and tea processing. Currently, there are two intermediate tea science agronomists and two senior tea tasters. Professional tea makers from Taiwan, Fujian, and Yunnan have been specially hired to engage in processing and guidance. The company also strengthens cooperation with scientific research institutions such as South China Agricultural University, inviting tea science experts and professors to provide on-site consultations and guidance. This continuous effort improves tea processing techniques and leads to the development of new tea varieties.

　　In 2010, our company became a scientific research and internship base for the Tea Science Research Institute of South China Agricultural University. Xingang Hanging Green Tea is a newly created famous tea developed in 2008 under the guidance of tea science experts and professors from South China Agricultural University. This tea uses one bud and two leaves of the soft-branch Dongding Oolong tea shoots as raw material, combining the flower-scented green tea cooling technique with the Oolong tea wrapping and rolling technique to create an original granular green tea. During the refining process, traditional tea baking techniques are used to produce a mellow, sweet, and refreshing taste with chestnut aroma. Due to frequent overcast and rainy weather in the forest farm—especially during spring tea season—many tea leaves become too hard and old to be harvested in time while waiting for sunny days to process Oolong tea, leading to reduced tea yield. To solve this problem and develop new tea varieties, since 2008, under the guidance of tea science experts and professors from South China Agricultural University, the company has explored green tea processing techniques. This led to the production of the uniquely flavored Xingang Hanging Green Tea, which not only successfully resolved the issue of being unable to process Oolong tea on cloudy or rainy days but also shortened the harvesting and processing period, saving on production costs. Tests have shown that Xingang Hanging Green Tea processed on overcast days is of particularly high quality. Now, Xingang Hanging Green Tea has become a major and stable growth driver of the company’s sales revenue. It uses one bud and two leaves of the soft-branch Dongding Oolong tea shoots as raw material. This tea variety was introduced from Taiwan and planted at high altitudes in the Xingang forest farm. In terms of tea planting, land with deep soil layers, fertile soil, no pollution, fresh air, and an altitude above 800 meters is selected. Tea trees are planted using a double-row, triangular dense planting method with sufficient base fertilizer applied. For tea garden management, fertilization mainly relies on organic fertilizer supplemented by compound fertilizer, combining base fertilizer and topdressing. Organic fertilizer mainly consists of peanut meal. Pest and disease control follows the principle of “prevention first, integrated management,” taking into account the entire tea garden ecosystem. A combination of agricultural, physical, and biological control methods is employed to create environmental conditions unfavorable for pests and diseases but favorable for the proliferation of beneficial organisms. In tea processing, the leaves undergo ten steps: picking, cooling, fixation, initial rolling, initial drying, re-rolling, re-drying, shaping, drying, and roasting for aroma enhancement. Each step is meticulously executed. Especially notable is the addition of the cooling technique in the Xingang Hanging Green Tea processing, which not only retains the traditional green tea characteristics of green leaves and green soup but also reduces or even eliminates the astringency and bitterness compared to conventional green tea. In terms of shaping, existing tea processing machines are used along with the Oolong tea wrapping and rolling technique to form the green tea into tight, dark, and granular shapes. During refining, traditional tea roasting techniques are used to create a mellow, sweet taste with a distinct chestnut aroma. Xingang Hanging Green Tea features tightly rolled, granular strips that are dark green and lustrous with a strong chestnut aroma. The tea liquor is bright yellow-green, with a rich, mellow taste that releases a chestnut fragrance and pronounced high-mountain character. The aftertaste is long-lasting, and the tea can withstand multiple infusions. As a result, it achieved immediate success upon launch, received an enthusiastic market response, and earned praise from experts and recognition from consumers. Packaging options include 10g sachets, 50g boxes, 150g boxes, 300g boxes, and loose tea, meeting the needs of different consumer groups.
