Brown Mountain related history
Brown Mountain is a famous Pu'er tea production area, and the villages in the mountains are large, such as Ban Zhang, Lao Man E, Man Xin Long and so on. Some domestic scholars have examined that the history of brown mountain tea cultivation can be traced back to more than 4,000 years ago. The first tea leaf consumed by humans was picked by the ancestors of the local population. According to expert research, the Brown Mountain people are the descendants of the ancient Baipu people, specifically, including today's Brown, Wa, Deang and other ethnic groups. In history, the Baipu people once migrated south and established a protracted civilization represented by Angkor Wat in the Indochina Peninsula. Contrary to these ancestors who went abroad, the Brown, Deang and other ethnic groups that remained in China were still in the dense forest until the Republic of China period, working at sunrise and sunset in the Brown Mountain with a radius of more than 1,000 square kilometers, never leaving Yunnan a step, away from the call of the outside world. Therefore, it can be said that the residents of the Brown Mountains are the indigenous people of Yunnan and the roots of the real Yunnan people. Perhaps it is precisely because of this thousand years of isolation and seclusion that the Brown Mountain people can be in close contact with nature. Here, they eat herbs and tastes, and countless gifts of nature are included in their cups, and the treasures of the mountains are transformed into strong nutrition, of which tea is first domesticated, planted and enjoyed by the Brown Mountain people.
