The development history of Liubao tea culture was as early as the Ming Dynasty, and Cangwu (now Wuzhou, Guangxi) was an important town in Guangdong and Guangxi. There are Toubao, Bauer, Sanbao and Liubao teas in Cangwu area, all of which produce tea, among which Liubao tea produces the best, so it is called Liubao tea in later generations. At present, Liubao tea is produced in Cangwu County, Hezhou and Mengshan.
Ming Lan Ying's "Green Landscape of the People in Song Dynasty" is a part of the volume.
Liubao tea was listed as a national famous tea and became a tribute during Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. One of the local hills in Liubao? Tea is the most famous. According to textual research, Guangdong tea merchants go to Liubao to collect tea and speak local dialects? Bow your head? Understand? Shrimp bucket? Because the tea is great, I did a lot of publicity after I went back. Shrimp fighting tea? More and more famous.
In the late Qing Dynasty, Guangshengxiang's shrimp fighting tea was very popular among tea merchants in Hong Kong and Macao.
The culture of Liubao tea is mainly reflected in the following three aspects.
Liubao tea is the tea of ordinary people.
Tea is one of the seven things to open the door, close to people's lives, but famous tea is far away from ordinary people, and some even cost thousands of yuan a catty. Liubao tea is an exception. In Wuzhou, the origin of Liubao tea, two or three hundred pieces of Liubao tea can be seen everywhere, and it is genuine.
Liubao tea is the tea of ordinary people, which is different from Guangdong and Guangxi? Morning tea? Culture is closely related.
Guangdong and Guangxi? Have morning tea? This is called drinking tea, but it is really normal for relatives and friends to get together and chat, make a pot of tea and drink for two or three hours. Therefore, Pu 'er, Liubao tea and other durable black tea are very popular in the local area. Teahouses in Guangzhou and Wuzhou can be seen everywhere, and the atmosphere of drinking tea has also developed from the initial morning tea to? Prince tea? (it means 1 0-1tea in the morning), and drinking tea in the evening (the teahouse is open until morning1) can be said to be non-stop.
Liubao tea has such a personality, and it is not necessary to pay attention to brewing skills. From the first bubble to more than ten bubbles, the color does not fade and the taste does not decrease. Even at home, put Liubao's old tea woman in a thermos and drink it for a day.
Lingnan area likes drinking? Herbal tea means drinking Chinese herbal medicine to boil water. There are many herbal tea shops in the street, and every family likes to make herbal tea by themselves. Herbal tea pays the most attention to reducing fire and eliminating dampness, but herbal tea is a Chinese herbal medicine after all. Liubao tea has a miraculous effect on eliminating gastrointestinal moisture, which is milder and more convenient than herbal tea.
Therefore, ordinary people regard Liubao tea as a daily drink to dispel dampness, relieve summer heat and relieve fatigue. People who often drink and smoke also like to drink Liubao tea for health care.
Tested by agricultural scientists, the content of tea polysaccharide in Liubao tea is about twice that of Pu 'er tea. Fresh leaves with the same tenderness were processed into black tea, green tea and black tea respectively. The content of tea polysaccharide was the highest in black tea, followed by green tea and the lowest in black tea. The older the leaves, the richer the polysaccharide content of tea. Liubao tea is the tradition of using old leaves.
Liubao tea is a famous tea in Southeast Asia.
Liubao tea belongs to black tea, and the longer you pay attention to it, the more precious it is. If you meet a merchant in China who says that he is an old six castle, it has a history of 30 to 40 years, and most of them are bluffing, but in Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries, you can really meet and even get older. This is related to the special export history of Liubao tea.
During the Daoguang period (1847 ~ 1880), rich tin mines were discovered in Lalu and Nidagu, Perak, Malaysia, which immediately attracted a large number of Chinese workers. At the end of Qing Dynasty in China, social unrest and bandits were rampant. Under the influence of fellow villagers, relatives and friends, coastal Chinese who risked their lives to escape from troubled times left their homes and crossed the ocean to make a living. (There are also many trafficked people there, commonly known as selling pigs)
When I first arrived in Nanyang, miners were often ill. It was found that miners who often drank Liubao tea seldom got sick, so the effects of Liubao tea on regulating stomach, eliminating dampness and expelling dysentery spread rapidly, which also led to a large number of Liubao tea exported to Nanyang.
During the Qing dynasty's closed door period, the 13th line in Guangzhou was only qualified for export, so a large amount of Liubao tea was packed in laundry baskets and transported to Hong Kong and Malaysia for repackaging. Therefore, Liubao Tea enjoys a high reputation in Hong Kong and South Asia. (Now Liubao tea sold locally in Wuzhou still retains the tradition of putting it in a big basket. )
During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the civil war, the production of Liubao tea basically stopped. After liberation, after the land reform and the establishment of production cooperatives, a large number of Liubao tea trees were cut down. Until 1953, China Tea Company set up an office in Wuzhou to improve the technology of Liubao tea and gradually establish the modern production technology of Liubao tea. Is this Liubao tea now? Factory tea? And then what? Peasant tea? The beginning of disagreement.
Due to historical reasons, the old tea trees of Liubao Tea are rarely preserved, and most of them were replanted after the 1980s. Because Liubao tea is located in the mountainous area and lacks medicine, it has been used as medicine locally, so it is produced on a small scale. If you are lucky, you can still find local real old tea, but the quantity is very small.
After the successful promotion of Pu 'er tea, Liubao tea, a close technical relative, also hitched a ride and was gradually sought after by the market. At present, the regional public brand value of Liubao Tea is increasing year by year. The state approved Wuzhou Liubao Tea to implement geographical indication product protection and become a black tea with the same name as Yunnan Pu 'er tea.
The nutritional value of Liubao tea culture Liubao tea belongs to warm tea, which not only has the health care function of other teas, but also has the effects of eliminating summer heat and dampness, improving eyesight and clearing heart, and helping digestion. It can not only help digestion after meals, but also clear the stomach on an empty stomach. In the sultry weather, it is refreshing to drink Liubao tea to cool off the heat. After Liubao tea is aged in the air, many golden colors can be seen in the tea. Jinhua? It can secrete amylase and oxidase, catalyze the conversion of starch in tea to monosaccharide, catalyze the oxidation of polyphenols, make tea soup turn brown and red, and eliminate the rough green taste. The scientific experiment and tea tasting practice of Liubao tea lovers prove that Liubao tea contains more lipolytic enzymes than other teas besides various amino acids, vitamins and trace elements necessary for human body. Therefore, Liubao tea has a stronger function of decomposing greasy food and reducing fatty compounds, cholesterol and triglycerides in the human body. Long-term drinking can strengthen the stomach, nourish the heart, lose weight and keep fit. Therefore, with the improvement of people's living standards, Liubao tea is increasingly loved by consumers.
