Making sense of the lable
Chinese tea names can be confusing due to the variety of names given. Part of the problem in recognizing Chinese teas is their complicated terminology and classification
Most Chinese teas have two names. The first is the place of origin, and the second is the style of the leaf. This, however, doesn't always seem to play true. Sometimes a Chinese tea is named after its appearance, pluck, cultivar, production process, grade, history, legend, or marketing name. There is no standardized naming convention.
Tea naming is one of the important procedures for tea classification. A tea must have a name to mark it. Regardless of whether it is used for classification research or practical application, tea must have a special name. Naming and classification can be linked together, such as Gongfu black tea, the former is a naming, the latter is a classification, and another example is Baihao Yinzhen, the former is a classification, and the latter is a naming. The naming of tea is usually descriptive, and the elegant name is unmatched by other commodities.
The basis for naming tea leaves is not only different in shape, color, flavor, and tea species, but also in terms of production area, picking period, technical measures, and sales channels, etc., and the naming is also different.
The name of the tea is most often used to describe its shape, such as melon slices, Maofeng, etc., which are used to describe the shape.
There are many tea names that describe its color and fragrance, such as Huangya for dry color; for example, yellow soup refers to its color, such as Yunnan Shilixiang refers to its aroma, such as Anxi peach kernel refers to its taste. This kind of tea is famous in ancient and modern times
Special famous teas are named by place names, which are very common in ancient and modern times. Shouzhou Huangya in the Tang Dynasty and Gu Zhu Zisun in the Song Dynasty have become famous teas in history. For example, West Lake Longjing, Dongting Biluo and Wuyi Rock Tea are still used today. Modern famous teas have many place names, such as Nanjing Yuhua, Anhua Pine Needle, Lu'an Gua Pian, Xinyang Maojian, and so on
