FAQ

1. What is Wuyi rock tea?

As the name implies, Wuyi rock tea grows in between the rocky cliffs of Mount Wuyi, which is known for its sheer precipices, overhanging rocks as well as gigantic valleys. The Potted Tea Plantation is realized by utilizing the rock valleys, rock cracks and constructing rock band alongside the edges. Wuyi rock tea got its name by only growing in between the rocky cliffs. Forfathers praised the Wuyi rock tea for its unique rock charm. Rock tea also pronounced Yan tea in Chinese means tea of strong flavor. It still remains one of thetop ten Chinese tea.
According to the current national standard, being bred and planted in the natrual ecological invironment of Mount Wuyi, Wuyi rock tea falls into the category of Oolong tea produced with unique traditional processing techniques (shape of tea stripe) with rock charm. As a renowned tea it is under the protection of products of origin by PRC.

2. What is QiDan Dahongpao?

According to the legend, QiDan, the original name for Dahongpao, refers to tea from the six trees that look red from far away because of their purple-red gender shoots in early spring in Jiulongchao, Mount Wuyi.
Since 2007, Dahongpao tea trees in Mount Wuyi have been specially protected. It is forbidden to pluck their tea leaves to make sure they grow well; tea specialists look after them in a scientific way and detailed record of management is established; the nearby environment is strictly protected. Many years ago Chinese tea specialists started to cultivate Dahongpao trees by stem cutting propagation (asexual propagation). The tea from Jiulongchao cultivated in this way is also called QiDan Dahongpao, which is not as authentic asDahongpao made with Qidan tea from the Wuyi Zhengyan tea producing area in the eyes of tea specialists.

3. How much market share does the purebred Dahongpao have and what about the blended one?

Purebred Dahongpao has only a small market share partly due to its small production. The main reason for that is it is hard to be accepted as purebred Dahongpao by tea masters although it is truely purebred, therefore, it is just used as common tea or blended Dahongpao. Blended Dahongpao has market share of more than 80%.

4. Which is better, the purebred Dahongpao(Big-Red-Robe) or the blended Dahongpao?

In general, the well-done purebred Dahongpao is better in taste and fragrance than the blended one and vice verse. It is not right and fair to judge merely by its origin.

 https://betterhumans.pub/how-to-actually-achieve-more-in-a-day-than-most-normally-do-in-a-week-e1193433c431 Yesterday was one of my most productive days ever. I wrote 3 articles, segregated my important documents, meditated for 30 minutes, made my monthly investments, caught up with an old friend, banged out an amazing workout, and got to bed early. My past self wouldn’t have achieved that much in an entire week. In fact, even my present “normal” days put my erstwhile most productive days to shame. I work a full-time job, write, work out, eat healthily, invest, read, sleep enough, play my guitar, spend time with loved ones, and constantly explore new things. I nei t her have a timetable nor insane willpower. What I do have are honed systems, consistent habits, and optimized frameworks — and these are what have revolutionized my productivity. “Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.
