To thank him, the old man gave Yang three tea seedlings. Yang planted them near his home, and after a few years, the trees grew well and produced tea with a distinctive aroma and a sweet, mellow taste.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\" style=\"text-align: left; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAt the time, no one knew the name of this tea tree. Later, a local scholar named Yang Huiwen noticed that its tea flowers looked similar to wintersweet blossoms.

It can be made not only into oolong tea, but also into black tea, green tea and white tea. In 1985, Mei Zhan was recognized as a national tea cultivar in China. Because of its strong adaptability and high yield, it later spread beyond Anxi to other tea-growing regions, including Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Yunnan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rooteas","offers":[{"title":"25g","offer_id":49161185198303,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":49161185231071,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/6553\/9295\/files\/mei-zhan-jin-black-tea.webp?v=1779178282","url":"https:\/\/rooteas.com\/products\/wuyi-black-tea-mei-zhan-jin","provider":"Rooteas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
