Notes#
Huazhuan is not Fuzhuan#
The flower character in Huazhuan’s name should not be read as proof of Fuzhuan’s controlled flowering process. The regional classification lists the two brick teas separately.
The 1958 change of shape#
The monograph dates Baishaxi’s mechanically pressed rectangular Huazhuan to 1958 and presents it as a response to the labour and material demands of making large Huajuan cylinders. The change involved a different manufacturing format, not simply cutting a finished cylinder into smaller pieces. This is a documented factory development, not a claim that all cylinder production ended that year (p. 578).
