Keemun black tea, which originated in Qimen County of east China's Anhui Province, is one of the most famous Chinese teas featuring an intense aroma. It has a history of more than 100 years.
Xie Yongzhong, a 71-year-old inheritor of Keemun black tea making skills, followed his elders to pick tea leaves on the mountains and learned the basic tea-making skills since childhood.
"I am very interested in processing tea. Even if I am tired, as long as I see the tea and the sieve, I feel very happy," Xie said.
Xie is able to endure hardship and has a high learning ability. He has learned from several tea masters and gradually mastered all seventeen processing steps of Keemun black tea.
"If you want to make good tea, every detail must be conducted seriously," he said.
