Scope
GB/T 30357.5-2015 is the English-translated version of 乌龙茶 第5部分:肉桂.
China's national product standard for Rougui oolong tea. It is Part 5 of GB/T 30357 and specifies the terms and definitions, the classification, the requirements, the test methods, the inspection rules, and the marking, labelling, packaging, transport and storage for this tea. It applies to oolong tea made from the leaves, buds and tender shoots of the Rougui cultivar, processed in sequence by appropriate withering, zuoqing, fixation, rolling and drying, and possessing the specific quality characteristics of the type. Rougui is the cultivar behind much of what is sold as Wuyi rock tea, and over the past two decades it has gone from a minor variety to one of the most expensive teas in China, with single-origin lots from named Wuyi valleys reaching prices that have little to do with the cost of production. That price gradient is the reason this part exists. Where a name commands a multiple of the base material's value, the market fills with product carrying the name and not the substance: leaf from a different cultivar, from outside the growing area, or from a lower grade, finished with the heavy roast that is taken as the style's signature. A roasted tea is also unusually hard to judge, because roasting flattens the differences that would otherwise identify the raw material. The standard's answer is to define the product by cultivar and to grade it against physical reference samples prepared under GB/T 18795, assessed by the method of GB/T 23776 with the vocabulary of GB/T 14487, alongside measured limits on moisture, ash, water extract and broken tea and the mandatory food safety limits of GB 2762 and GB 2763. Issued on 3 July 2015 and in force since 2 November 2015.
