Translation
ruanzhi (Ruan3 Zhi1) = Soft Stem (软枝 or 軟枝), in classifying
oolong
cultivars, perhaps the original
oolong
cultivar brought from
Fujian
to
Taiwan
; possibly the same cultivar as
Qing Xin
; the softness of the stems makes it possible to roll them, even quite long stems, along with the leaves, and it also lends a flavor to the finished tea that woody stems wouldn’t supply
