Shaanxi Green Tea

Shaanxi Green Tea

　　Shaanxi green tea is collectively referred to as "Shaanqing." It has a long history of cultivation and is mainly produced in over ten counties and districts in southern Shaanxi, including Ziyang, Ankang, Langao, Pingli, and Xixiang. This area is one of the country’s major tea-producing regions. Shaanqing is made from freshly picked tender leaves through processes such as fixing, rolling, roasting, and sieving. As a result, the tea leaves are tender, rich in aromatic oils, and characterized by uniform strips, a glossy green color, clear infusion, and a refreshing, mellow taste with a sweet aftertaste. Varieties such as Ziyang Huangu Maojian, Baijiaheyuan Stir-Fried Green, Pingli Sanliya Stir-Fried Green, Gangao Longanzhai Roasted Green, and Xixiang Ziwu Xianhao are well-known for their fine processing and distinctive flavors. In particular, Fuxi Tea from Ziyang, known for its various medicinal benefits, is regarded as a premium-quality product.
