Introduction to green tea production technology (Biluochun production technology)
Applicant: Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province
Biluochun tea is produced in Dongting East Mountain and west mountain of Taihu Lake in Suzhou. According to local history records, tea growing in Suzhou began in the Jin and southern and Northern Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu's "tea classic" recorded that tea came from "Dongting mountain in Changzhou county (now Suzhou City)". In the sequel to Wujun tujing written by Zhu Changwen in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is recorded that "beautiful tea comes from Dongting, and the old tea is a tribute..." In the early Qing Dynasty, Dongting tea was commonly known as "frightening people's fragrance". In 1699, Kangxi visited Taihu Lake in the south. The tea was named Biluochun on the ground that it was green and curved like a snail and was picked in early spring.
Biluochun tea's picking and processing process is all completed by hand, and it still adopts the traditional picking and processing techniques. Its production technology is divided into seven processes: picking, picking, spreading, high-temperature green killing, rolling and shaping, rolling and showing hair, gentle fire drying. "Picking early, picking tender, picking clean" and "hand does not leave the tea, tea does not leave the pot, kneading with frying, combination of frying and kneading, continuous operation, from the pot" are the technical essentials of Biluochun picking technology in Dongting mountain.
The Biluochun of Dongting mountain, which is made by traditional methods, has the appearance of "slender cords, curled into snails, hairy all over the body, silvery green hidden green" and the inner quality of "soup color is green, delicate fragrance is elegant, tastes sweet and has endless aftertaste". It is famous at home and abroad for its "beautiful shape, bright color, strong fragrance and mellow taste", and is known as "one tender (bud) and three fresh (color, fragrance and taste)".
