This singular craft yields a singular fragrance—perfect for savoring now or cellaring for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"An Cha\" or \"An Tea\" is a Dark tea variety produced from Camellia sinensis var.sinensis cv.Zhuye, cultivated in the mountainous Qimen (Keemun) region. The harvest season typically ranges from late April to mid-May. Ancha is classified into several grades based on leaf quality:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTe Gong (Special Tribute): Comprising 1 bud and 2 leaves, this grade features tight and neat threads, offering a mellow, sweet taste with good Huigan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGong Jian (Tribute Bud): Mainly 1 bud and 2 leaves, with a few tiny stems. The tea threads are tight and neat, with a mellow, sweet taste and noticeable Huigan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTe Ji (Special Grade): Mostly 1 bud and 2 leaves, mixed with a certain ratio of tiny stems, resulting in a relatively tight and neat thread and a mellow, thick, and sweet flavor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYi Ji (1st Grade): Consists of 1 bud and 2-3 leaves mixed with larger leaves and stems, characterized by a mellow, thick, and smooth taste.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEr Ji (2nd Grade): Involves 1 bud and 2-3 leaves mixed with rough leaves and stems, offering a mellow, thick, and smooth flavor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical Context: Ancha dates back to around 1725 AD (Emperor Yongzheng, Qing Dynasty) and was temporarily discontinued in 1937 due to WW2. It was revived in the late 1980s following inquiries from Hong Kong customers. The original technology and recipe were lost, but local elders with partial memories contributed to its revival. Ancha was successfully recovered in 1991, thanks to the efforts led by Mr. Wang Zhenxiang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction Process: Ancha's production involves junior and senior processes. The junior process, typically completed by tea farmers, includes Sun drying, Killing green, Rolling, and Drying. The senior process involves 9 steps: Selection, Blending, High Fire Drying, Night Dew, Steaming, Bamboo Packaging, Fire Drying, and Packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a semi-fermented tea, Ancha continues to age (natural fermentation) over time. Similar to Puerh tea, it improves with age, and its taste and flavor evolve annually under dry, clean, and cool conditions. Proper storage is crucial to prevent odor transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KingTea","offers":[{"title":"7g","offer_id":50840951521466,"sku":"cny1793048245058","price":6.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25g","offer_id":50840951554234,"sku":"xrx1793048245059","price":9.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":50840951587002,"sku":"ric1793048245060","price":16.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":50840951619770,"sku":"lvw1793048245061","price":37.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g (1 basket)","offer_id":50840951652538,"sku":"mmg1793048245062","price":84.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g (1 basket)","offer_id":50840951685306,"sku":"sgb1793048245063","price":141.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Baskets (500g*2=1000g)","offer_id":50840951718074,"sku":"ktw1793048245064","price":245.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/6199\/0330\/files\/2015-sunyishun-qi-men---an-cha---gong-jiankeemun---an-tea---tribute-bud-250g-500_1.jpg?v=1793048250","url":"https:\/\/breezecutclad.shop\/products\/2015-sunyishun-qi-men-an-cha-gong-jiankeemun-an-tea-tribute-bud-250g-500gbasket-dark-tea-anh","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
