In the world of tea, Wuyi rock tea has always been highly regarded for its unique "rock bone and floral fragrance". Every tea - fighting competition related to Wuyi rock tea is a much - anticipated event for tea enthusiasts, and the 9th "Wuyi Zhengyan Cup" Wuyi rock tea king competition has pushed this anticipation to a climax.
This tea king competition was of grand scale, with a total of 2019 tea samples of narcissus, cinnamon, and Dahongpao from various sources. These tea samples, carrying the hard work and expectations of tea farmers, gathered from every corner of Wuyi Mountain. An authoritative evaluation team, adhering to the principles of "fairness, impartiality, and openness", escorted this event. Based on five evaluation factors, they conducted a meticulous tasting of each participating tea through a blind - coded sensory evaluation method. They didn't miss any details, from the appearance of the tea strips and color, to the height and length of the aroma, the richness and freshness of the taste, the clarity and brightness of the tea soup, as well as the softness and evenness of the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup, striving to select the most representative Wuyi rock tea.
The competition process was rigorous and orderly, going through a strict preliminary round. During the three days from October 22nd to 24th, a total of 2019 tea samples were evaluated in the preliminary round (including 766 cinnamon samples, 495 narcissus samples, and 758 Dahongpao samples). After layers of screening, finally, 136 cinnamon samples, 114 narcissus samples, and 118 Dahongpao samples stood out and successfully entered the semi - finals and finals. The semi - finals and finals were equally competitive. During these three days, the experts carefully selected again, and finally, a total of 192 awards including the top three (champion, second - place finisher, third - place finisher), and outstanding awards in the three series of cinnamon, narcissus, and Dahongpao were generated. Each award is a high recognition of the quality of the participating teas, and also the best reward for the hard work of tea farmers and tea - making masters.
