Description:
Established in the Qing Dynasty and passed down for thirteen generations, Quanjihao (Quan family) is a representative tea shop producing tea with delicate craftsmanship. Mr.Quan is in his 60s and he's still making tea and the packing by hand.
Manzhuan tea paste, made from the finest raw material, are full of fantastic delicious flavor and nutrition.
In order to make a good tea paste, Mr.Quan had consulted various old people and tea-makers, tried many times and finally succeeded in 2007. People got the 2007 tea paste from him thought the tea tasted really good now. Selected 70% Huangpian (older tea leaves) and 30% maocha from Manzhuan area. Refining 18 kg of the tea leaves would produce only 1 kg of paste. He use stainless steel soup pot to cook the tea. Simmer for three days until the liquid reduces slightly and thickens to paste, then cool the paste in bamboo shell. When boiling it, Mr.Quan must keep stirring to avoid to burn or stick to the bottom of the pot. The work to make tea paste was meticulous and time-consuming.
