Nowadays, many friends are in love with drinking tea, however, there are many types of chinese and foreign teas, which tea is better and more suitable for our Chinese? In fact, if you look at the history of tea, you can know.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Yin youyun was a person: "Wuyi spring warm moon full, picking new shoots to offer land immortals." As the saying goes, there are five mountains in the mountains and two rivers in the water, and if you want to talk about the holy land of Chinese tea, I think everyone will speak in unison and push Wuyi together.
The history of Wuyi tea making can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, and by the time of the Song Dynasty, it had been listed as a royal tribute. In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court set up a baking bureau to set up an imperial tea garden on the bank of Jiuqu Creek to handle the procurement of royal tribute tea.
In fact, the reason why Wuyi Mountain produces good tea is closely related to its geographical environment and climate state.
Wuyi Mountain is located at latitude 27° 28 ′ ~ 28 ° 05 ′ north and longitude 117 ° 37 ′ ~ 119 ° 19 ′ east, which is the most suitable latitude zone for tea growth on the earth.
The Wuyi Mountains are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the opening is roughly to the south, forming a basin. Under the conditions of subtropical oceanic monsoon climate, the average annual temperature is 18 °, the frost-free period is more than 270 days, and the annual precipitation can reach 2000 mm.
The unique geographical and climatic conditions have brewed the natural botanical garden of Wuyi Mountain, and many high-quality tea varieties have been born, and the best quality of Wuyi tea is called "small species". In 1717, Ling Lu Tingcan of Chong'an County wrote in the "Sutra of Continuing Tea": "Wuyi tea is rock tea on the mountain, and the one at the water's edge is zhou tea." Its best name is Kung Fu Tea, and there are small species above Kung Fu, which are named after trees, and each plant is not more than two. ”
Historically, because small black tea is very famous, the local production of small black tea is in short supply, the surrounding began to imitate, but there is still a difference in quality, so there is a "zhengshan" and "outer mountain" said. The "Chinese Tea Classic" has clouds: produced in Tongmuguan, Xingcun Township, Chong'an County, Fujian Province, called "Zhengshan Small Seed". The so-called "Zhengshan" of "Zhengshan Small Seed" black tea indicates "the meaning of the real alpine area".
The area covered by Zhengshan is centered on Jiangdun and Miaowan, north to Shilong in Jiangxi Leadshan, south to Baiyeping in Caodun, Wuyishan, east to Wuyishan Da'an Village, west to Guangguang Siqian and Gankeng, and southwest to Shaowu Guanyinkeng, with a radius of 600 square kilometers, and most of the area is now in the Wuyishan National Nature Reserve in Fujian Province. "Waishan small species" refers to the imitation of Zhengshan small seed quality small black tea produced in Zhenghe, Tanyang, Pingnan, Gutian, Shaxian and Jiangxi Leadshan and other places, collectively known as "Waishan small species" or "artificial small species".
Among them, the best one is from Tongmuguan, Tongmuguan is located in Tongmu Village, Xingcun Town, Wuyishan City, Fujian Province, in the Wuyishan National Nature Reserve, is the source of Jiuqu Creek in Wuyishan Scenic Area, located at the junction of Fujian and Gansu, 65 kilometers away from the city, the whole village has a mountain forest area of 315,000 mu, a population of 1578 people, there are 12 villager groups, about Ping, Miaowan, Jiangdun, Sangang, Qili, Hangdun, Longdu, Mid-Levels, Guhuangkeng, Piteng, Masu and other 33 natural villages, scattered in the north and south of 35 kilometers, East-west wide 25 km within the Paulownia Grand Canyon fault zone. The average altitude is 800 meters.
Mr. Zhang Tianfu, a titan of the contemporary tea industry, once inscribed Tongmuguan as "the birthplace of small species in Zhengshan"
Therefore, if it is not the small species of Zhengshan in Tongmuguan, 80% of it is a product of fish eyes mixed with beads and muddy waters. And I know so much because a friend recommended me the Zhengxingfu tea that was born in Tongmuguan.
According to friends, the tea green in Zhengxing Province is 100% harvested in the Tongmuguan area. The unique geographical and vegetation environment of the place is naturally suitable for the growth of tea plants - alpine clouds, late rise and early setting of the sun, small temperature difference between day and night, and large air humidity, and various conditions together create a unique guiyuan aroma of small black tea.
This kind of king's fragrance is not only impossible to imitate by the small species outside the mountain, but even the tea green outside the Paulownia Pass is equally difficult to do.
The Jinjunmei products under Zhengxing Province are more elaborate. Each kilogram of JinJunmei needs 70,000 fresh tea buds, and then through picking, selection, withering, kneading, unblocking, fermentation, baking, wind selection, picking, rebaking and other processes, the taste is fresh and sweet, the throat rhyme is long, and it is actually the top product in small black tea.
Alpine clouds produce good tea. Good tea leaves are indispensable from the growing environment of tea green, to the quality of picking, to the control of handicrafts. Conscience tea is in Xingfu, I really love it lately.
