The spring breeze is gentle on the earth and the tea mountain, and the tea is gentle on the taste buds, throat itch and soul of the people. If there is a sacred object between heaven and earth that integrates poetry and life, it will definitely be tea. And the wonderful scenery that can integrate the spirit and the material to a high degree is the best! This is the tea and tea ceremony that I have come to know.
Among the vast tea areas and tea categories in China, the Zhen'an Tea District and Zhen'an Xiangyuan Tea are slightly unknown. However, it is also the silent cultivation and painstaking cultivation of this subtle sense of existence that has created the Zhen'an Xiangyuan Tea, which is different in tea and a treasure of mountain rocks. Even the quality is better than all kinds, and it has achieved its tea and its way: formless, not confusing with the surging connotation. is indisputable, and the world can not compete with it. With this legacy of independent existence, emergence, and becoming, the color and taste of Qiqi's "mung bean soup and chestnut fragrance" are coveted by the world in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains!
Zhen'an tea area, the latitude is in the north, in the deep mountains and ravines to take the name of the land, called Xiangyuan tea. Throughout the world, it can be seen that those who use the region as the endorsement and can survive forever are mostly the best products with the thickness of heaven and earth and the conscience of human skills.
Xiangyuan tea is born, although it is a genus of green tea, but it is the appearance of rock tea. On the high slopes of the mountains at an altitude of 800 to 17,800 meters, fir trees rise like clouds, chestnut trees hold umbrellas as covers, and the starry rocks and dragon-scale oil sand soil between the rocks are cultivated. The mountains and rocks are stacked naturally, the cedar chestnuts are naturally accompanied, the countryside is like being born, and the fog and dew are not reduced over the years. In this situation, the synthesis of tea tree fibers is completely different from fast-growing, becoming soothing, with less crude fiber, strong tenderness, and high-energy aggregation of nitrogen compounds and aromatic substances. The steep mountain slopes in the warm mountainous area, the three-dimensional climate is abundant, the unique microclimate above 800 meters above sea level, the complete cloud and light are combined, the mountain atmosphere is pervasive, the clouds and mist are swirling, the rain and dew are moist, the fir chestnut is fumigated, the soil is blessed, the Qinling Mountains of the world's three famous mountains, the multi-color short light wave is densely absorbed and photosynthetically transformed by chlorophyll, and the abundant precipitation and rich accumulation produce fat tea buds that are definitely different from the south of the Yangtze River. Picked from the old method of frying, boiling water blooming a piece of spring rippling, the taste of less astringent, more sweet, strong flavor, fragrant for a long time, just like a party of water and soil achievements of a good thing!
The deep alleys hide fragrant wine, and the deep mountains are pregnant with good tea. Between the Qinling Mountains and Bashan, there are mountains and peaks, sunshine and rain and dew, and tea is inevitable. In this piece of "Out of Song" and "The Book of Tea" are recorded in one of the eight major tea areas, Zhen'an tea is like a hermit hidden in the wilderness, but it has existed silently for more than 1,500 years in the face of living materials.
The long river of history flows slowly, Tang Wu Zetian Tongtian first year empress awarded Anye, and later changed from the Ming Dynasty to the present name of Zhen'an, all take the key to Anbang, the key to the exchange. In the territory, the Xunhe River, a second-level tributary of the Yangtze River, and the Qianyou River, a third-level tributary, are full of supply posts, and it is essential to taste wine and eat tea. However, the real production of tea in Zhen'an formed a commodity attribute after the migration of the vast number of immigrants in the Qing Dynasty. "Zhen'an County Chronicles" recorded: "Liu Zhengmin, a native of Pengcheng Town, Hezhou, Anhui Province. In the first year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1644), he moved to the town of Xiangyuan (Garden) Ditch. When it came, it was sown that year, unearthed the following year, and grew four pockets. Within a few years, the tea seedlings increased to 15 acres. In the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), Peng Chuanqing, a Ziyang tea seller, passed by the Elephant Garden, saw that the tea seedlings were growing luxuriantly, and instructed him on how to make them. The Peng then moved to Shishikou (now Xinfeng Village, Xiangyuan) to settle down, cultivate tea trees, and make tea." Xiangyuan tea has been planted and circulated in one side since then.
Mr. Yu Lianghu, a local celebrity, also wrote: "During the Republic of China, Liu Dashun, a progressive young man from a local landlord, brought Xiangyuan tea to the Nanjing government when he was studying at the Whampoa Military Academy, and they drank Xiangyuan tea and praised it. Later, when Liu Dashun was at the Xi'an Police Station, at the dinner for his father's birthday, Director Zhao Shoushan came to celebrate his birthday and drank Xiangyuan tea with relish. In addition to being delighted, Zhao Shoushan personally wrote an inscription for Liu's father and sent a plaque, which was passed down as a good story in the local area for a while. Since the antiquities are fake and people, Xiangyuan tea can be regarded as having a little nickname since then!
In the 70s and 90s of the last century, tea in Zhen'an began to rise from a means of subsistence to a means of production, and the government vigorously encouraged farmers to grow tea. After an interval of more than ten years, it set off the climax of the cultivation of Xiangyuan tea twice. Over time, it has now become a leading agricultural industry with the characteristics of local poverty alleviation. The Daren Xiangyuan Village in the core production area is planted along the river, planted all over the valley, cultivated at the mountain climbing point, and planted with the forest, forming a huge style!
Now Shengyou, around the ancient pine and bamboo, winding with the mountain road, but see a glimpse of verdant such as jasper, full of clouds are Dailuan. Zhengnai: The mountain is a tea pile show, the show is a tea mountain pile, I don't know why, it is suspected that it is a fairy embroidery!
More than 1,000 years of accumulation, more than 300 years of evolution, and more than 40 years of cultivation have achieved a good tea that is lonely and unknown and hides a real taste in the chaotic rocky brown soil. Xiangyuan tea is thick in fat, green in color, fragrant in chestnut, and deep in connotation. Brewing it out, it is like stunning all things to stretch their muscles and bones, and it is a wanton atmosphere of winter and spring. Looking, the green soup color bucket turns delicate like a cloud swaying; smelling it, the mountain wind and wild rain and chestnut shadow become rich and elegant; drink it, moisten the throat and leave the lips and teeth fragrant seven steps can give birth to a continuous poetry. Between Dapu and indifference, but the weather is extremely calm, who can compare with it?
In Zhen'an Spring, what you see is enjoyment, and what you taste in your belly is enjoyment. Tea before the Ming Dynasty is the infatuation of the Chinese, and Zhen'an tea is different, because of the difference in latitude and climate, the better season of Zhen'an tea is often before the rain in the valley after Qingming, too tender in the morning, and old in the evening. After finishing and stir-frying 18 kinds of skills, it is to hide spring in the years, drink spring in the chest and abdomen! I am often fortunate to have the first bite of fresh food every year. Liu Feishi, who is a businessman, lives in Xiangyuan, and his father is the leading promoter of the development of Xiangyuan tea, and has his own authentic customs, and then asks me to suggest that there is a Yanlu brand under the poetry of Yunshan; Zihan is in politics but there is a small piece of native old tree tea garden stored on the top of the mountain, so he can taste the most primitive game, and there is Yunze Lurun; nephew Hanxuan has been rooted in Daren for many years to help farmers, and often writes about the development of Xiangyuan tea, and then he and Liu Nan produced the blue needle of the Yuanshan Slow Village brand, which is regarded as a culture; Lei Yabin and Xiong Jin of Baozheng Teahouse, two people from Zhen'an in the south and one in the north, have launched a tea with Zhen'an green tea as the wool material, and I take Mr. Chen Yan's famous book"The Protagonist", the protagonist of the name of the gift, and the protagonist of the tea world, and Liu Daosheng, who went to the sea with a sense of agriculture, launched a black tea, which is also a red soup with a new image. Including the white tea, Longjing, Tieguanyin and so on that Lu has tried over the years. The development of any humanities industry is a long river of time for many people to continue to forge ahead.
All these attempts in the mountains and rivers of Zhen'an, although there are successes and failures, big and small, in the vast vastness of the vast market, but also small lotus to show sharp corners, but it is very beneficial, can be expected!
On the other hand, good goods are not equal to good goods, and in the era of market economy, the melee of traffic is full of uncertain variables. Although Zhen'an Xiangyuan Tea has the Shenghua Xiangyuan fog bud with the inscription of Mr. Jia Pingwa, a literary master, there are also old Xiangyuan Tea Factories that have been precipitated for many years, and there are more creations, persistence and attempts as above. Even the production area has already broken through the geographical scope of Xiangyuan Village and Daren Town. However, as a tea category, the overall extroversion, popularity and firstness and other consumption indicators are still strong, and it is still necessary to call on all parties to help real industrialization and branding.
The brand, the core of the study, in addition to the conventional understanding of the origin of cognition, processing technology, scale, marketing level and so on. The deeper level also lies in the cognition of the concept of the times and the position of market competition. We are in an era of blind obedience dominated by mainstream consciousness and collective unconscious, people tend to follow the overwhelming things known, packaging things with good looks and images, and rarely have ulterior motives and channels to contact those who have always existed outside the scope of cognition. In such an era, niche good things have always been local and non-pan-market. And perhaps because of this, the scenery production area like Zhen'an Xiangyuan retains the most fundamental environment, technology, original intention and extreme things.
Because of the mountainous limit of nine mountains, half water and half fields, there is the true taste of the above. Therefore, I think that the industrialization of Zhen'an tea should be as different as its quality. Not only looking at the horizontal quantity and scale, but also looking for a shortcut to the end of the south in the vertical category segmentation, quality segmentation, brand segmentation and soft systems such as shape, rhyme, and literature, and the first degree of mental identity. Because consumers who are more and more professional, more tasteful, and have a new concept of consumption, their consciousness and taste buds never deceive people, and their cognition and concepts are self-absorbed and rational, and consumers and consumer goods need to find each other's soulmates in the era of overflowing material surplus, which is the real demand outlet for agricultural products such as Zhen'an Xiangyuan tea. To drink a cup of good tea in the real sense, or to effectively extend the relevant tea categories based on the good tea produced by a really good environment, such as white tea, black tea, Fu tea, etc. Such a niche good has a great chance of becoming a unique, high-value market incision. Therefore, focusing on the niche, using conscience, ingenuity, and innovation to make the ultimate good things should be the real competitiveness and direction of future upgrading of scarce mountain agriculture in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains like Zhen'an. And this is the opportunity for Zhen'an tea!
Tea is still growing, we still drink tea, hope that in the near future, Zhen'an Xiangyuan Tea will be more systematic and more extreme, in the vast tea universe, the mountains and flowing water meet bosom friends, always shining and fragrant!
