HangzhouJiu Qu Hong Mei
The color is red and the fragrance is like red plum, It is called Jiuqu red plum, which has a refreshing taste and warms the stomach
Jiuqu Hongmei tea is as material as sprouted leaves which tea tree is suitable for this product, and is refined through typical processes such as withering, rolling(cutting), fermentation, and drying. Because the color of dry tea and brewed tea soup are mainly red in color, it is called “black tea” when the black tea was first created.
During the making processing of black tea, a chemical reaction centered on the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols takes place. The chemical composition in the fresh leaves changes greatly, and the tea polyphenols are reduced by more than 90% and generates new ingredients as theaflavin and thearubigins. Aroma substances increased from more than 50 in fresh leaves to more than 300. A part of the caffeine, catechins and theaflavins complexed into a delicious complex, thereby forming red tea appearance, red soup, red leaves and fragrant, sweet, tasted mellow etc quality characteristics.
Note: Complex: refers to the special term for making black tea or decomposing and testing the aroma substances that form black tea. It is broader than the general meaning of the word “synthesis”. Complex Compound: This refers to the abundant soluble substances that generate black tea flavors as “thick (fullbody), strong (astringent), and fresh (brisk)”, mainly including amino acid (especially theanine), catechins, theaflavin, caffeine, pectin, phenolic substances, oxides and other aromatic substances. Due to the complexation of these substances, the fresh, aromatic, mellow and sweet etc quality characteristics of black tea are formed.
