If Anhui tea is not good, then there is no good tea in China.
To be cheap and cheap, to be high-end and high-end, to be famous, to have output, to have characteristics and characteristics!
It really makes me proud as an Anhui person
Anhui's geographical location is not to be picked, the southern Anhui Mountains, the geographical position is superior, and the Huangshan Mountains are high and cloudy. In the western Dabie Mountains, the cong mountains produce good tea. The main tea producing areas in Anhui are from the Southern Anhui Mountains represented by Huangshan Mountain and the Dabie Mountains represented by Lu'an.

Let's start with the cheap ones.
1. Huangshan Maofeng
200 pounds of Huangshan Maofeng, the taste is sweet and refreshing, the leaf shape is neat and uniform.
The climate of Huangshan, the location, I don't think there is anything to be picky about.
Huangshan production area is large, and the artificial cheap, all home-picked, and the deep mountain tea environment is very good, really pristine.
Generally, big-name tea parties use tea field bases to improve yield and stability, while our tea merchants generally directly harvest the fresh leaves of deep mountain tea farmers.
Huangshan Maofeng, deservedly belongs to civilian tea, ration tea.
Even if it is a high-end Huangshan Maofeng, it is only about 500-800 a pound. Full bud sweet, amazing value for money.
Let's talk about high-end Anhui tea

Legend one
"Taiping Monkey Kui" is produced in Monkey Pit, Monkey Gang and Yan Village in Taiping County, the northern foothills of the Huangshan Mountains in China. According to local legend, in ancient times, a mountain man picked tea and suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance. Look around, there is nothing, and then look carefully, it turns out that between the rock crevices of the abrupt mountains, there are several clumps of tender green wild tea. But there are no vines to climb, no way to follow, so you have to leave. But he never forgot the young leaves and the fragrance. Later, he trained several monkeys, and every tea season, he put a cloth cover on the monkey and let it go to the rock climbing and picking on behalf of others. After tasting this tea, people called it "the queen of tea", because this tea was picked by monkeys, and later generations simply named it "monkey kui".
Legend two
Monkey Pit in Taiping County, Anhui Province, produces a kind of Monkey Kui tea. Legend has it that in ancient times, a pair of white monkeys lived in Huangshan And gave birth to a small monkey, and one day, the little monkey went out to play alone, came to Taiping County, encountered heavy fog, lost his way, and did not return to Huangshan. The old monkey immediately went out to look for it, and a few days later, due to the eagerness and overwork of the search, the old monkey fell ill and died in a mountain pit in Taiping County. There was an old man living in the pit, who made a living by picking wild tea and medicinal herbs, and he was kind-hearted, and when he found this sick and dead old monkey, he buried him on the hill, and moved a few wild teas and mountain flowers to plant next to the old monkey's tomb, and when he was about to leave, he overheard a voice: "Old man, you have done a good thing for me, I must thank you." "But there is no shadow, and the old man has not paid attention to this matter." In the spring of the following year, the old man came to the mountain to collect wild tea and found that the entire hill was covered with green tea trees. When the old man was wondering, he overheard someone saying to him: "These tea trees are given to you by me, you cultivate them well, and you will not worry about eating and wearing them in the future." At this time, the old man woke up and realized that these tea trees were given by the monkeys. Since then, the old man has a good tea mountain, and there is no need to cross the mountains to pick wild tea. In order to commemorate the monkey, the old man called this hill a monkey hill, the pit where he lived was called a monkey pit, and the tea leaves picked from the monkey hill were called monkey tea. Because of the superior quality of monkey tea, it can be called the leader, and later named this tea Taiping Monkey Kui.
Taiping Monkey Kui, to have a story, to have a face value, to taste also has a taste.
Authentic Taiping Monkey Kui, orchid fragrance, the higher the fragrance, the stronger the fragrance.
The general price is about 200-1200 a pound. (Loose tea trading price, brand tea price is slightly higher)
Three, six angua slices
Melon slices do not belong to bud tea, they are all large leaves.
But it still does not affect its fame and taste.
In 1856, after Cixi gave birth to the Tongzhi Emperor, he was eligible to enjoy the treatment of fourteen, two and six angua pieces of tea every month. The older generation of revolutionaries had a lot of love for the six angua pieces, and the great men of the generation, Zhou Enlai, and General Ye Ting had an indissoluble relationship with the six angua pieces.
In July 1971, Dr. Kissinger, then secretary of state of the United States, visited China for the first time, and the six angua slices were given as a gift of national tea, which promoted the development of Sino-US relations and was rumored to be a good story. "Liu'an Gua Piece" is worthy of the valuable historical and cultural heritage of the people of Lu'an.
Although the melon slices have no buds, they taste sweet and moist, refreshing and rich. And the overall price is not very high.
The main production areas can be directly identified as Dabie mountain tea, as for the climate of Dabie Mountain, there is not much to say. Can tea be good?

4. Chuzhou green tea
Chuzhou is not part of anhui's main tea-producing region, Chuzhou is only in the north and east, with a small number of Tower Mountains and low-altitude mountains.
Half of the pagodas is one of the tea-producing areas in Chuzhou, where the famous half-pagoda defense war took place.
Chuzhou tea has rations of small orchids (150/kg), young buds (300/kg), and cloud tea (from 400/kg) and also has green teas such as spring snow

6. Keemun black tea
Keemun black tea, the main overview point is that the merchants of Wuyishan in Fujian Province came to Anhui and found that there was a lot of tea in Keemun (Huangshan), so they used the production method of Zhengshan small seeds to make Keemun tea into black tea, and the last move was successful. Developed into today's four major black teas.
Keemun black tea has high yield, stable quality and affordable price.
At present, it has also been extended a lot, such as osmanthus Qi men red and the like.
Therefore, it has always been a reliable ration black tea standard.
