Zhang Chengren – Inheritor of the Art of Dianhong Tea Production

Zhang Chengren, a Han Chinese from Fengqing County, Yunnan Province, is a recognized inheritor of the traditional craft of Dianhong tea production, a national intangible cultural heritage.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China announced the fifth batch of national-level intangible cultural heritage representative inheritors, and Zhang Chengren, the director of the Tea Science Research Institute of Dianhong Group, was named as a national-level representative inheritor.

Zhang Chengren has dedicated 30 years of his career to the frontline of tea planting, processing, and scientific research, making significant contributions to the development of the tea industry in his humble position. He is a provincial inheritor of the “Dianhong Tea Production Techniques” and a senior engineer at the Yunnan Dianhong Group Co., Ltd.’s Tea Science Research Institute.

Zhang Chengren graduated from Fengqing Tea Vocational Technical School in July 1987 and started working at the Fengqing County Tea Bureau in August of the same year. Beginning with basic tasks in tea planting and processing, he embarked on a lifelong career in the tea industry. In October 1990, he was transferred to Yunnan Fengqing Tea Factory, focusing on tea base construction. Since January 1997, he has worked at Yunnan Dianhong Group Co., Ltd., engaging in tea cultivation, initial processing, product development, and research on tea processing. His extensive grassroots practice has enabled him to accumulate rich production experience and master technical essentials. He has achieved significant results in the selection of new tea tree varieties, the development of new tea products, tea production techniques, and the inheritance and protection of Dianhong tea production skills.

Over the years, Zhang Chengren has devoted himself to collecting and protecting tea germplasm resources, collecting rare and endangered tea materials, and continuously exploring Fengqing tea planting techniques. Through his efforts, the number of preserved tea germplasm resources increased from over 60 to more than 1,000. In promoting low-yield tea garden transformation technology in Fengqing County, Zhang guided farmers to complete the transformation of over 3,000 acres of low-yield tea gardens within three years, achieving doubled output, improved tea quality, and increased economic benefits. In tea garden planning and planting, he summarized the successful experience of “dense planting for high yield” in new tea garden development. He explored modern tea garden management techniques, including winter pruning of tea trees and mechanical harvesting, weeding, and no-till management techniques, achieving successful experiences and promoting them.

As a party member and a senior tea engineer, Zhang Chengren is always innovative and takes the lead in his work. He proactively organized experiments on new tea processes and products, leading his team to develop new Dianhong products such as “Classic 58,” “Dianhong Jinqu,” “Plateau Red,” and “China Red.” The successful development of “Classic 58” in 2006 filled the gap of special-shaped Dianhong tea, promoting product upgrades and exploring the potential red tea market. This achievement won the third prize of the Lincang Science and Technology Award in 2008. “Classic 58” and “Dianhong Jinqu” won the first prize in the 2009 National Famous Tea Competition. “Plateau Red” and “China Red,” with their unique quality styles, are popular among consumers and have become high-end market products.

In his leisure time, Zhang Chengren enjoys visiting tea mountains, where he feels a deep connection with the tea trees. In 2014, he was named a provincial inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage “Dianhong Tea Production Techniques” (the fourth-generation inheritor of “Dianhong Tea Production Techniques”) by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture. Zhang feels gratified by society’s recognition of his dedication to the practice of Dianhong tea production techniques.

Su Xiangyu – Inheritor of Yunnan Black Tea Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft, Chief Engineer of Yunnan Black Tea Group

Mr. Su Xiangyu inherits the refined processing techniques of Yunnan Black Tea, meticulously overseeing each stage from raw material inspection and storage aging to screening, refining, final aroma enhancement, and sterilization. The refined processing of Yunnan Black Tea involves sorting raw tea according to the quality requirements of various grades, determining the blending ratio of raw materials based on quality standards, and processing according to specified technical standards. This process includes primary, garden, and light grading to achieve the desired refined quality.

To meet the refined processing objectives, Su Xiangyu focuses on key operations such as shaping tea leaves, removing impurities, adjusting quality, controlling moisture, and enhancing aroma.

滇红非遗工艺传承人，滇红集团总工程师

       苏向宇先生继承滇红茶精制工艺，严格把关原料验收、仓储陈化、筛分剔杂、成品提香、补火杀菌等精制各环节。滇红工夫茶的精制，是将毛茶按加工各级茶的品质需要进行归堆处理，按品质要求的原则，确定原料拼配比例，按所定级别技艺技术标准进行加工，分本身、园身、轻身三路制造。为达到精制加工的目的，在划分本、园、轻三路产品品质中，通过整理茶条形状、剔除杂异、调剂品质、控制水分、增进香气的主要作业工艺，致力于向消费者提供从茶园到茶杯的健康好茶。

Xue Lin – Master Tea Blender, Inheritor of Yunnan Black Tea Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft, Chief Blending Specialist of Yunnan Black Tea Group

As the saying goes, “Wine depends on blending, tea depends on mixing.” The reason Yunnan Black Tea has maintained its stable taste for decades is all thanks to the masterful blending techniques of experts like Mr. Xue Lin. With a background in tea and decades of honing his skills, Xue Lin has developed his unique “secret techniques.”

The blending process starts with a preliminary small-scale mix, evaluating each factor such as appearance and internal quality against processing standards. Once the pre-blend sample meets the standards, the tea is combined in proportions according to the pre-blended sample. After blending, the tea undergoes thorough inspection and evaluation to ensure the final product matches the quality of the pre-blended sample before proceeding to the next steps.

Blending is a crucial part of the refined processing of Yunnan Black Tea. Even if other technical processes are executed perfectly, an improper blend will not yield a visually appealing or high-quality product. This meticulous blending process is the key to Yunnan Black Tea’s long-standing reputation for stable quality and authentic taste.

拼配茶大师 薛林，滇红非遗工艺传承人，滇红集团首席拼配师

俗话说：“酒靠勾兑，茶靠拼配”，滇红茶之所以能几十年保持稳定的口感，全得益于拼配大师的拼配技艺。薛林先生学茶出身，经过几十年的锤炼，形成自己独有的“武功秘籍”。首先进行小样预拼，按外形和内质的各项因子逐项审评比较，符合加工标准样后，按预拼的各筛号茶比例匀堆拼合。拼合后再认真检验审评，认定其品质确实符合预拼样，方可进行下步作业。拼配是滇红茶精制加工生产的一个重要环节，拼配比例不合理，其它各个工艺技术处理再好，也不能获得美观的外形及良好的品质。这就是滇红茶长期以来保持品质稳定、口感正宗的秘籍。

Drinking Yunnan Dianhong Black Tea (Yunnan Red Tea) is a delightful experience that can be enjoyed in various ways, depending on your personal preferences and the specific type of Dianhong tea you have. Here are some steps and tips for making and enjoying this exquisite tea:

1. Choosing Your Tea

Select high-quality Yunnan Dianhong Black Tea. Some popular varieties include:

• Golden Tips (Jin Hao): Known for its golden buds and smooth taste.
• Broken Yunnan: Stronger flavor, often used in tea bags.
• Pure Gold (Jin Ya): A premium variety with a high concentration of golden buds.

2. Preparing Your Teaware

• Teacup: Choose a cup that allows you to appreciate the color and aroma of the tea.

3. Measuring the Tea

Use about 1-2 teaspoons of loose Dianhong tea leaves per 8 ounces (240 ml) of water. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference and the specific tea variety.

4. Heating the Water

• Temperature: Heat fresh, filtered water to around 200-212°F (93-100°C). Boiling water is suitable for most black teas, including Dianhong.

5. Rinsing the Leaves (Optional)

To enhance the flavor, you can rinse the tea leaves briefly:

• Pour hot water over the leaves and immediately discard the water.
• This step helps to “wake up” the leaves and remove any dust.

6. Brewing the Tea

• First Steep: Pour hot water over the tea leaves and let it steep for 2-3 minutes.
• Subsequent Steeps: Yunnan Dianhong tea can be steeped multiple times. Increase the steeping time by about 30 seconds to 1 minute for each additional infusion.

7. Pouring and Enjoying

• Pour the tea into your cup using a strainer if needed.
• Observe the beautiful reddish-gold color of the tea.
• Savor the aroma before taking a sip. Yunnan Dianhong tea typically has a rich, malty flavor with notes of chocolate, honey, and sometimes a hint of floral or fruity undertones.

8. Adjusting to Taste

• Sweeteners: If you prefer, add a touch of honey or sugar.
• Milk: A small amount of milk can complement the tea’s malty flavor.
• Lemon: A slice of lemon can add a refreshing twist.

9. Pairing with Food

Yunnan Dianhong tea pairs well with a variety of foods, such as:

• Savory Dishes: Cheese, sandwiches, and meats.
• Sweet Treats: Pastries, cookies, and dark chocolate.

Tips for the Best Experience

• Quality Water: Use filtered or spring water for the best taste.
• Fresh Leaves: Store your tea in an airtight container away from light, moisture, and strong odors to keep it fresh.
• Experiment: Try different steeping times and temperatures to find your preferred brewing method.

Enjoying Yunnan Dianhong Black Tea is all about personal preference and taking the time to appreciate its unique flavors and aromas. Whether you prefer it strong and bold or light and delicate, the process of brewing and drinking this tea can be a relaxing and rewarding experience.

Tips:

While drinking Yunnan teas, you want to be careful not to over-brew them, especially cheaper varieties, as they can easily become bitter. Because of that, the amounts and times given in the instructions are somewhat conservative; use them as a rough guide. If you find the resulting tea too weak, add more tea leaves or try increasing the steeping time.
