Basic Introduction to Jiaoling Huangkeng Tea
The Huangkeng Junbao Tea Factory is located in Jiaoling, Meizhou, a Longevity Town of China. It was originally established in 2002 and, through renovations and expansions over the years, has developed into a medium-sized tea production enterprise that integrates planting, processing, packaging, and sales. The Huangkeng green tea from Huangkeng Village, Xuxi Township, Jiaoling County, is characterized by its tightly rolled leaves, silver-gray color with a frosted appearance, clear green infusion, rich aroma, and smooth taste. According to records in the “Zhenping County Annals” published in the first year of the Kangxi era (1662) during the Qing Dynasty, tea cultivation began in this village in 1662. Over time, continuous improvements in tea-making techniques have resulted in a traditional, fragrant, sweet, and smooth Huangkeng tea.
Nutritional Value
Green tea is known as the “national drink” of China. Modern scientific research has confirmed that tea contains biochemical components closely related to human health. In addition to its effects of refreshing the mind, relieving summer heat, aiding digestion, clearing phlegm, reducing fat, quenching thirst, calming the mind, detoxifying, and reducing alcohol intoxication, tea can also help prevent modern diseases such as radiation sickness, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The primary components responsible for these pharmacological effects are tea polyphenols, caffeine, polysaccharides, and theanine.
Product Features
Huangkeng tea stands out among various beverages for its convenience, economy, and hygiene. It can absorb and eliminate radioactive elements and provide the body with necessary nutrients, contributing to longevity. Known for its fragrance, sweetness, and richness, it has special functions such as aiding digestion, reducing fat and weight, and quenching thirst. It enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad.
Tasting and Preparation
Recent studies show that green tea can help improve digestive problems, such as acute diarrhea caused by bacteria, and drinking green tea can alleviate symptoms. Green tea also aids in weight loss, making it particularly beneficial for those frequently exposed to paint fumes or computer screens, as well as smokers and drinkers. For elderly tea enthusiasts, cold-brewed tea using cooled boiled water is recommended, which can help lower “three highs” (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar). Drinking green tea on an empty stomach is not advisable, as it may cause “tea drunkenness.” People with a cold or poor gastrointestinal health should avoid green tea.
