Huang Meigui tea

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Huang Meigui is a type of oolong tea that originates from Fujian province in China. The name "Huang Meigui" translates to "Yellow Rose" in English, which is a reference to the tea's unique aroma that is reminiscent of roses.

History[edit | edit source]

Huang Meigui tea was first developed in the early 2000s, making it a relatively new addition to the world of oolong teas. Despite its recent origins, Huang Meigui has quickly gained popularity due to its distinctive flavor profile and aroma.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production process of Huang Meigui tea involves a series of steps that are similar to those used in the production of other oolong teas. The leaves are first withered under the sun, then shaken in bamboo trays to bruise the edges of the leaves. This process, known as oxidation, allows the leaves to partially ferment before they are heated to halt the fermentation process. The leaves are then rolled and dried to produce the final product.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Huang Meigui tea is known for its unique aroma, which is often compared to that of roses. The tea has a light, floral flavor with a hint of sweetness. The leaves of the Huang Meigui tea are typically a dark green color, and they unfurl into a yellow-green color when brewed.

Brewing[edit | edit source]

To brew Huang Meigui tea, it is recommended to use water at a temperature of around 85-95 degrees Celsius. The tea leaves should be steeped for approximately 3-5 minutes, depending on personal preference. The same leaves can be used to brew multiple infusions, with each infusion revealing new layers of the tea's complex flavor profile.

Health Benefits[edit | edit source]

Like other types of oolong tea, Huang Meigui tea is rich in antioxidants and is believed to have several health benefits. These include aiding in weight loss, improving heart health, and boosting the immune system. However, more research is needed to fully understand the health benefits of Huang Meigui tea.
