Huang Meigui Tea: A Special Oolong
Huang Meigui is a type of Wuyi tea. Wuyi teas are famous oolong teas grown in the Wuyi Mountains. These mountains are in Fujian Province, China. Oolong tea is a traditional Chinese tea. It is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Oolong tea is somewhere between green tea and black tea. This means it is partly oxidized.
What Makes Huang Meigui Unique?
Huang Meigui tea stands out from other Wuyi oolongs. It has a very strong and pleasant smell. Its taste is lighter and more like flowers. Most other Wuyi oolongs have a stronger, often roasted, flavor.
When you make Huang Meigui tea, the leaves look different too. After they have been in hot water, the steeped leaves turn a very light green color. This is much greener than the leaves of most other Wuyi teas.
