Green Tea Making (Yuhua Tea Technique)

Yuhua tea is a green tea native to Nanjing, named in memory of Yuhuatai; its making was successively listed as municipal and provincial heritage before entering the national list in 2021 as an extension of green-tea craft.

Through fixing, rolling and shaping-drying, the leaves are hand-rolled and pinched into the tight, straight, pine-needle form and emerald colour that distinguish the tea.

Listed in the fifth national batch in 2021, it represents Nanjing's tea culture and the refined craftsmanship of Jiangnan green tea.
