Walking into Suichuan, Jiangxi, the eyes are full of green - Xiaoye, a handsome guy in cultural tourism, said that Suichuan has a long history of tea production, with a history of 5,000 years of tea, 1,000 years of famous tea, and 100 years of gold medal history.
Yes, the Dog Brain Tea won a gold medal at the Panama International Exposition in 1915, the same year as Moutai.
Dog Brain Tea is one of the precious famous teas in Jiangxi, produced in the southern foot branch of the Luoxiao Mountains, Tanghu Town, Suichuan County. The mountain resembles a dog's head, named "dog brain", and the tea produced is from its name. So, together with friends into the dog brain tea garden, where the mountains are full of tea green, relying on the dog brain tea culture and ecological green culture, set tea culture display, citizen leisure, natural science popularization, health and fitness as one of the urban tourist attractions. The scenic spot focuses on the goal of "famous tea garden in the mountains and rivers, a healthy place for lohas and health", and creates a window of tea culture and a green landmark in Suichuan.
A hospitable She boss on the side of the tea garden told me that they have been cultivating tea for three generations, and the tea leaves are delicate and even, with a slight green dew in the blue color, and the surface is covered with a layer of soft and tender white hair, and the tea leaves are five to seven pieces, and the tea is clear and golden. He took out the newly made new tea and let us taste it, the tea taste was cool, mellow and sweet, refreshing to the heart, and the sweet taste in the mouth lasted for a long time.
He said his grandfather's generation migrated here from Fujian and started growing tea. He is currently the third generation and manages 20 acres of tea plantations. At present, the tea we taste is the dog brain tea, the appearance is beautiful, the bud end is slightly hooked, the white hao is revealed, the aroma is high; he made tea for us, while saying, after brewing, the tea leaves sink quickly, the liquid surface is not bubbled, the soup color is clear, the taste is mellow, the water is the mountain spring water that flows from the mountain to the Zuoxi River, the good mountain and good water produce good tea, so the aftertaste is sweet.
I learned that the forest coverage rate of Suichuan County is as high as more than 78%, and there are 9 national ecological townships, 13 provincial ecological townships, and 5 national and provincial ecological villages in the county, and the average annual concentration of air anion is more than 5,600 per square centimeter, which is the southernmost part of the best growth area for green tea. The well-known "Millennium Bird Road" has crossed since then, and it is a unique alpine organic tea production area. Tea trees mostly grow at an altitude of more than 600 meters, the climate is mild, the rainfall is abundant, the sunshine is sufficient, the clouds are steaming and foggy, the diffuse light is more, the clear spring on the mountain is endless, and the hot springs under the mountain are overflowing. The superior microclimate is extremely conducive to the formation of amino acids, sugars and aromatic substances in tea. It is known as the "top green tea".
Since 1915, it has won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition, and at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and the 2015 Milan World Expo.
Therefore, if you want to have a good quality of life, drink tea and drink dog brains.
