Introduction to black tea:
Black tea is a kind of tea made by bacterial fermentation. It first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, and originated from the origin of Changsha black tea: "Arbitrary Tea" unearthed from Mawangdui Han Tomb in Qujiang Royal Slice. It has a history of 2300 years and is the origin of Anhua black tea. Later, it appeared in the Tang Dynasty (1034) with a history of nearly a thousand years. Because the raw materials of black tea are coarse and old, it often goes through a long period of accumulation and fermentation in the production process, so the tea leaves are mostly dark brown, so black tea, known as one of the six major teas, belongs to fully fermented tea. The main producing areas are Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei, Hunan and other places. The raw materials used in black tea are coarse and old, which are the main raw materials for pressing pressed tea. Tea-making technology generally includes four processes: enzyme fixation, rolling, fermentation and drying. Black tea is divided into Hunan black tea, Ya 'an Tibetan tea, yunnan black tea (Pu 'er tea), Shaanxi black tea and Hubei black tea.
