Many of you may have heard that Shanghai lockdown has been eased that many people can go out and take public transportations. However, has the lockdown really been lifted? Poem mentioned in the episode is “If” by Rudyard Kipling. And “Memorial to Yueyang Tower” by Fan Zhongyan from Song Dynasty.

May 21st is observed for the International Tea Day by United Nations. To all my listeners, happy tasting tea and happy enjoying the weekend.

Since March 18th when the compound was under lockdown, I finally walked outside of the compound on May the 4th. But today we are told no one is allowed to leave the compound again. I asked myself: when will this lockdown end? It seems that this question is not that important anymore. People always tell themselves a lot of impossibles, but keep breaking these impossibles. So just as a quote says: “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’.”

哈咯，大家好。我是Tali，欢迎来到Taste Tea Podcast。上一期我们谈了绿茶、黄茶和白茶的产地。Taste Tea Podcast又刚好收到一位来自德国的听友提出的问题。这位听友说，他喜欢喝乌龙茶，并希望可以得到一些乌龙茶的推荐。那么我听到这个问题非常地激动。于是就根据产地，分享了4款乌龙茶给这位听友。这一期的分享也会将我给这位听友的答案进行延展，介绍乌龙茶的产地和其特色的品种。话不多说，那么我们就开始本次的品茶之旅吧。
根据产地，乌龙茶可以分为闽北乌龙、闽南乌龙、广东乌龙和台湾乌龙。其中福建乌龙的产量最大。下面会根据这个顺序而依次介绍。

Welcome to Taste Tea. Previously, we talked about the growing regions of Green tea, yellow tea and white tea. Just in time, Taste Tea Podcast received a question from a listener from Germany. This listener shared that he likes oolong tea and hopes to get some recommendations about oolong teas. When I heard this question, I was very excited, so I shared 4 types of oolong teas with him. In this episode, I will elaborate on the answer I had for this listener and introduce the growing areas of oolong tea and its distinctive tea varieties. Without further ado, let’s start this journey of tea tasting.
According to the growing origins, oolong teas can be divided into: Northern Fujian oolong (闽北乌龙茶), Southern Fujian oolong (闽南乌龙茶), Guangdong oolong (广东乌龙茶) and Taiwan oolong (台湾乌龙茶), of these, oolong tea from Fujian has the largest production.
