Chinese black teaby amy perry Friday, April 22, 2011
Fermentation plays a crucial part in tea making. While the green teas are unfermented, the black teas are fully fermented. There are many varieties of Chinese black teas. Most of the Chinese black teas are named after the region where they are produced. For example Keemun black tea is produced in Keemun (or Qimen depending on the dialect and translation) and Dian Hong is produced in the Yunnan province (the province is also called Dian). There could be many tea varieties in each group. Yunnan province is a traditional black tea producing area, yielding many black tea varieties. All black teas produced in this area can be called ‘Dian Hong’ and share certain common characteristics, although they all have their individual product names and subtle differences in flavour, like Yunnan Golden Tip. There has been a long tradition of black tea making in China. There are certain prestigious black teas that have been awarded landmark accreditations, such as Keemun Black tea winning the golden award during the 1915 World’s Trade Fair in Panama. Its aroma is so unique that it is described as the 'Keemum fragrance': with a hint of wine, flowers, fruit and pine. If you are used to the traditional black teas, but unfamiliar with Chinese varieties, I would recommend you give them a try. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised. The long history of Chinese tea making and the superior quality of the Chinese tea tradition are reflected in every perfect cup: subtle, aromatic, smooth and lingering, and requiring no sugar or milk. It is also worthwhile mentioning that although all teas help to lose weight, there have been reports indicating that black teas have somewhat more potent effects than the unfermented teas in preventing obesity. There have also been recent publications suggesting that the counter effect of adding milk to teas means more than just additional calories. It masks teas’ fat-fighting abilities by forming complexes between the active compounds (theaflavins and thearubigins) and milk protein. The Chinese call their teas ‘the dew from heaven’, and Chinese black tea is one such tea. It makes an enchanting morning cuppa to start the day and is a delight when sitting down to relax or catch up with friends.
