Lushan cloud tea
Lushan Cloud Mist Tea, with its clear aroma and fresh taste, is successfully one of the famous Chinese tea series. Lushan Cloud Mist Tea was originally a kind of wild tea, which was transformed into a domestic tea through the efforts of generations of Lushan people. Due to the cool and foggy climate of Lushan and the short direct sunlight time, Lushan Cloud Tea has formed its unique qualities such as thick leaves, mellow and sweet foaming, clear color and strong taste.
It is really a famous tea in the mountains, and it is worthy of the name.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a Suyun Nunnery under the Five Old Peaks of Lushan Mountain, and the old monk Emperor Huanzong opened a large tea garden at the foot of the mountain, and the tea bushes grew extremely luxuriantly. One year in April, suddenly three feet of ice froze, and the tea plants were almost all frozen to death. However, the Xunyang government sent many people to Suyun'an to find Emperor Huanzong to force tea to pay tribute, but Emperor Huanzong could not get it, so he had to flee overnight, and Emperor Huan led people to destroy the tea garden of emperor Huanzong.
The monk was full of bitterness and touched the heavens. From the eagle's beak cliffs, the migratory warbler stones and the towering peaks of the Five Old Peaks, suddenly flew the red-billed blue finch, yellow warblers, cuckoos, thrushes and other rare birds and exotic birds, they took the tea seeds scattered in the garden of the monks of the Han Sect every other year in their mouths, and threw them into the rock crevices around the Five Old Peaks, and soon a piece of emerald green tea trees grew. The Xianzong Tea Garden was lost and recovered.
Soon, the tea picking season arrived. Due to the five old peaks and the Great Hanyang Peak Qi peaks into the clouds, Emperor Huanzong really could not climb the peaks and clouds to pick up, so he had to look forward to tea and sigh. At this time, it was still those red-billed blue finches, yellow warblers, thrushes and fairies that flew from the clouds to help Xian Zong pick tea in the clouds. These fresh tea leaves are carefully kneaded and stir-fried to make tea leaves by the old monk of The Emperor Huanzong. This tea is sown in the clouds and picked in the clouds, so it is called "cloud tea".
The history of tea cultivation in Lushan can be traced back to the Han and Wei Dynasties. According to the "Lushan Chronicle", during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced to China, when there were more than 300 monasteries in Lushan, and monks gathered. They climb dangerous cliffs, fly over springs, and compete for wild tea; in the depths of the white clouds, they split cliffs to fill in the mountains, transform wild tea into domestic tea, and expand tea gardens.
During the Tang Dynasty, Lushan tea was already very famous. Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once dug up medicine to grow tea at the peak of Lushan Mountain, and wrote a poem: "The head of the stream under the long pine tree, the white cloth of the spotted deer fetus towel." The medicinal garden tea garden is an industry, and the wild elk forest crane is a social tour. ”
In the Song Dynasty, Lushan tea was listed as "tribute tea", and by the Ming Dynasty, the name of Lushan Yunwu Tea had appeared in the "Lushan Zhi", and Li Rihua's "Purple Peach Xuan Miscellaneous" in the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli Dynasty was yun: "Kuang Lu is at the top, and the tea produced is in the cloud steaming, which has a very winning rhyme." ”
