Liu'an Guapian , also known as " Liu An Gua Pian ", is a premium green tea produced in the city of Liu'an, Anhui Province, China. It gets its name from the pumpkin seed-like shape of the tea leaves.
The history of Luan Guapian goes back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). According to legend, since then this tea was highly valued for its taste and medicinal qualities and was annually supplied to the palace of the Chinese emperor.
To produce Luan Guapian, only the second top leaf from each branch of the tea bush is used. Harvesting occurs in early spring, when the leaves are still young and full of flavor. Luan Guapian belongs to the category of so-called baked teas, which largely determines the peculiarity of its taste, and its difference from other varieties of green tea.
Baked tea is a special type of tea that undergoes a special process by baking it over charcoal. This process can take more than 5 hours. During baking, the tea leaves are exposed to high temperatures, which results in the formation of a unique taste and aroma. The result is a product with an original soft taste and smoky notes of roasted tea.
At the same time, there are no smoky notes at all in Luan Guapian. The rich aroma of forest herbs with floral and fruity notes is in the foreground. The taste of the tea is deep, multifaceted, balanced, with a slight sweetness and a long sweetish aftertaste. Subtle fried notes of sunflower and pumpkin seeds are felt only in the aftertaste.
