Anhui Liu An Gua Pian leaf green tea
In the mountains of Liu An in Anhui, we found a tea which has its
name because it is the same shape as a melon slice. However, the
Liu An Gua Pian is especially famous because of its unique taste
and fragrance. Liu An Gua Pian is a crispy summery tea, with a hint
of smoke. Some people have also noted the taste of fresh vegetables
in this tea. After picking the tea leaves, Liu An Gua Pian is baked
in big pans leading the tea to have a slightly smoky taste
Lu An melon seed, often written Liu An Gua Pian and sometimes just
Guapian tea, is a well-known style of green tea from Anhui, China.
The name "melon seed" references the way the leaves have an oval
shape resembling melon seeds, after they unfurl during brewing. The
dry leaf, on the other hand, has a rolled, cylindrical shape.
It uses the second leaf on the branch and it is the ONLY green tea
in CHina that does not include any tips, buds, or higher leave.
