More About Fujian Tea and What is Produced
Semi fermented Oolong Teas are grown in the Wuyi Mountains and in Anxi County, sometimes referred to as Wulong Teas. The main area for White Tea production is Fujian Mapnearer, the north east coast in the area around the Taimu Mountains of Fuding County, also known for producing well known varieties such as Ching Wo and Golden Monkey Tea.
One of the rarest and most expensive teas to come from the Wuyi Monutain district is Da Hong Pao which is a Rock Tea, a very dark well oxidised oolong tea.
Fujian had an important role in the History of Tea, especially when the British got involved. In 1848, the Scottish botanist Robert Fortune went to China for the East India Trading Company to obtain tea plants as part of an ongoing effort to establish a tea industry in India.
It was at this time that it was illegal for foreigners to travel inland in China, except in the designated treaty ports. Fortune went in disguise as a Chinese official, visiting coastal Tea producing regions.
He smuggled out a number of Tea plants from the Wuji Mountains and learnt Tea producing skills from the monks as well as hiring a number of Chinese workers to assist with the introduction of tea to India.
