What are the characteristics of Chaoshan congou tea?

Chaoshan congou tea is one of the most distinctive dietary customs in Chaoshan. Among the tea produced in Chaoshan, phoenix theanine is famous for its fragrance, foam resistance and unique natural floral fragrance. This is closely related to the natural and geographical conditions of Fenghuang Mountain. Phoenix Mountain is located in the northeast of Chaozhou, at the junction of Raoping, Fengshun and Dabu counties, near the Tropic of Cancer. It's foggy all the year round, and the mountains are rolling. There are more than a dozen peaks above 1000 meters above sea level, among which the first peak in eastern Guangdong is Fenghuang Wujiding, and the second peak is Wuji Ding. Most famous teas are produced on the peak clouds. Secondly, Phoenix tea has a unique production method. Tea making here is divided into five processes: withering-fermentation-deactivation-rolling-baking, and each process has strict operation methods.

Phoenix tea has many varieties, different fragrance types and different quality with seasons, among which "Phoenix Dan Cong" is the best. "Phoenix Dan Cong" refers to those high-quality tea trees that have been tested for many years and have been identified as having different natural floral scents. In the production process, they are picked separately, preliminarily made and dried. Its production is particularly exquisite. It must be picked on a sunny and cool afternoon in spring 1━4. After picking, it must be piled up in the shade and then processed. You can't make the fragrance of dancong tea if you pick it in rainy days, morning fog or afternoon shade. Dan Cong tea has the best quality among the single clusters of Phoenix, and it is known as the "four unique" products of tangible beauty, green color and sweetness. When brewing, you can smell its fragrance a few steps away, with endless aftertaste. The teapot, called "Chong Guan" in Chaozhou dialect, is also called "Su Guan" because it comes from Yixing, Jiangsu Province and is the smallest teapot in Yixing. There is a four-word formula for choosing a teapot, which says "small, shallow, neat and old". Teapots are divided into two-person pots, three-person pots and four-person pots, among which Chen Meng, Tiehuagan, Qiupu, Calyx Garden, Xiaoshan and Yuan Xisheng are the most precious. There are many styles of pots, as small as oranges and as big as oranges, such as melon, persimmon, diamond, drum, plum blossom and chestnut. Generally, it is drum-shaped, because it is straight and thick. There are many colors of pots, such as cinnabar, antique iron, chestnut, purple mud, stone yellow, azure and so on. There is also a kind of pot with shiny silver sand and countless beads, commonly known as pomelo peel sand, which is the most precious. However, regardless of the style and color, the most important thing is to be "small but not big, shallow but not deep" because big is not "hard". In addition, we also pay attention to "the combination of three mountains", that is, the spout, spout and handle should be on a horizontal line, which is the most important criterion for evaluating the quality of teapot. The test method is to cover the teapot and put it on the table. If the teapot's spout, spout and handle are all flat, it is the top grade.
