Anxi County, Fujian Oolong tea, Tie Guan Yin main producing areas, the early 1950s, in order to facilitate the classification column, will be divided into Anxi Tie Guan Yin oolong tea, oolong color types and three categories, in addition to Iron Goddess of Mercy and oolong, other species are classified as colored species. First of all, restaurants are in the business of pampering you so they devote much more time to the perfection of a good cup of tie guan yin tea.
Anxi tea colored species of all varieties of shape, color, taste their own characteristics:

Zhang Ye Securinega small circle, the central width, head tail, serrated deep dense, sharp and hook down, leaves a little thin, the main vein slightly emerge.

Shuzi opened branches inclined students, sparse arrhythmia; leaf oval, dark green leaves, thick, crisp leaves, leaf margin wavy, slightly turned back, saw sparse blunt, purple buds. These are full-bodied tie guan yin yet very smooth tasting. Flowering more robust rate. Infancy before and after the spring equinox, and stop growing before the frost, the year seven-month growing season. Nature, fragile, less resistance, the “tastes bad planted,” said.
Iron Goddess of Mercy has a special quality, flavor, appearance of the cable tight knot there, curled, heavy solid, showing the body shape of the dragonfly head and lobster, the “emphasis on the United States, such as Iron Goddess of Mercy” argument.
