In p>1385, in the eighteenth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, Ding Xian, the son of the emperor, went to Beijing to take an examination. When he passed Wuyi Mountain, he suddenly fell ill and suffered from unbearable abdominal pain. He happened to meet a monk in Tianxin Yongle Temple, and the monk took the Dahongpao tea from his collection and drank it with him. The illness stopped. After winning the top prize, he came to thank the monk and took Dahongpao back to Beijing with tin cans. After the champion returned to the DPRK, it happened that the queen was ill and all the doctors failed, so he took out the pot of tea and presented it. After drinking it, the queen was physically Jian Kang, and the emperor was overjoyed. He gave the champion a red robe and ordered him to go to Kowloon to put it on the tea tree to show his kindness. At the same time, he sent someone to take care of it, and all the tea leaves were collected and paid tribute, and he was not allowed to hide. Since then, Wuyi Rock Tea Dahongpao has become a tribute tea exclusively for the royal family. Legend has it that every year, officials sent by the imperial court wear Dahongpao and take off their robes and hang them on the trees of tribute tea, so they are called Dahongpao. It is more widely spread that when picking tea, it is necessary to burn incense to worship the sky, and then let the monkeys put on red waistcoats and climb to the cliff above the tea trees to pick tea. Therefore, Cantonese calls this monkey-picking tea "horse-picking tea" (Cantonese call monkeys "horse-picking tea"). It is precisely because of the scarcity and difficulty in picking that this kind of tea is an expensive treasure in the market.

Edit this tea introduction

Wuyi Rock Tea is produced in Wuyishan Mountain, a famous mountain in the southeast of Meijingjia in northern Fujian, and the tea tree grows in rock crevices. Wuyi Rock Tea has the fragrance of green tea and the sweetness of black tea, which is the best of oolong tea in China. It was founded in the year of

Dahongpao tea (2 pieces) in the textbook "Tea Making Method in Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty" compiled by agricultural colleges and universities all over the country: Wuyi Rock Tea has a long history. According to historical records, tea was planted in the Tang Dynasty, and it was used as a gift by the people. The Song Dynasty was listed as a royal tribute, and the Yuan Dynasty also set up a "Roasting Bureau" and a "Imperial Tea Garden" in Wuyishan to collect tribute tea. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, oolong tea trees planted in Wuyishan were created, with many varieties, including Dahongpao, Arhat, Baijiguan and Shuijinggui, and also named after the growing environment of tea trees, such as Invisible Heaven and Golden Keys. Named after the shape of tea trees, such as drunken begonia, drunken dongbin, golden turtle, phoenix fern, jade unicorn, a fragrant branch, etc. Named after the shape of tea leaves, such as melon seeds, money, bamboo, gold wicker, willow, etc. Named after the early and late germination of tea trees, such as Yingchun willow and I don't know spring; Named after the tea flavor, such as cinnamon, stone frankincense, white musk, etc. During the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty, it began to be exported to Western Europe, North America and Southeast Asia. At that time, Europeans used to call it Wuyi tea, as the floorboard of China tea. Wuyi rock tea is famous at home and abroad, which is inseparable from the excellent natural environment. Wuyi Mountain is located at 27 35 ′-27 43 ′ north latitude and 117 55 ′-118 1 ′ east longitude. Fiona Fang is 12 Li, with an average elevation of more than 65 meters. Surrounded by streams and valleys, it is not connected with the outer mountains, and is composed of 36 peaks, 99 rocks and Jiuqu River, which is self-contained. The rock peaks stand tall, showing extraordinary splendour, and the peaks are continuous, looking eastward, like Ma Benteng, which is a wonder. The clear and clear Jiuqu River lingers in it and turns into Jiuqu 18 Bay. The mountain turns back to the stream, which really looks like "the winding mountain turns, and the peak water holds the flow". And along the banks of the stream, the reflections of the peaks are all in the blue waves, and the mountains and waters complement each other, which is really a fairyland on earth. The predecessor's title "Wuyi Mountain has a wonderful landscape, with thirty-six peaks winding, nine meanders of streams shedding clouds and clear ripples" summarizes the outline of Wuyi Mountain. Famous mountains and scenic spots cultivate the natural aura of rock tea.

The quality characteristics of "Zen tea blindly"

Mr. Zhang Yansheng, a contemporary calligrapher, once wrote an inscription for Dahongpao in Wuyishan: "The green leaves are edged and the red robe covers the body, and the good fortune meets the good, which should be a refined summary of the quality characteristics of Dahongpao's" Zen tea blindly ". Dahongpao is tightly knotted in shape, and its color is green, brown and fresh. After brewing, the soup color is orange, yellow and bright, and the leaves are red and green. The typical leaves have the aesthetic feeling of green leaves and red edges. The most outstanding feature of the quality of Dahongpao is its rich fragrance with orchid fragrance, high and lasting fragrance and obvious "rock rhyme". Dahongpao is very resistant to brewing, and it still smells after being brewed for seven or eight times. To drink "Dahongpao" tea, you must drink slowly in a small pot and a small cup of "congou", so that you can really taste the charm of Zen tea on the top of rock tea. Attention: lively, sweet, clear and fragrant.

tasting dahongpao

tasting should be observed from several aspects: shape, soup color, aroma, taste, brewing times and leaf bottom. Among them, the focus is on aroma and taste. Aroma: the aroma is refreshing. After inhalation, breathe deeply and come out from the nose. If you can smell the faint aroma, the fragrance is the best. Ripe-flavored (full-baked) tea is characterized by fruity and creamy flavors. Fragrant (lightly roasted) tea is dominated by floral and peach fragrance. Taste: The taste is sweet and smooth, while the taste is bitter, astringent, numb and sour. Tea has no texture, and the weak one is inferior. The bitter taste often determines the quality of rock tea. The number of brewing is usually about eight bubbles, and more than eight bubbles is better. Good tea has "seven soaks and eight soaks with fragrance, and nine soaks and ten soaks with aftertaste." The statement. Appearance: The appearance and color of dry tea can also be used as a reference for quality identification. Usually, the appearance is uniform, the ropes are tight and strong, slightly twisted, and the color is oily and precious. Chen Chaze is grayish brown in color. The strip is incomplete, but there are too many broken teas. In addition, the leaf bottom of tea can also be used as a reference for tea quality, which should be soft, bright and uniform, and the red edge of the leaf bottom is obvious. High-quality tea should have: no obvious bitterness, texture (the tea in the mouth feels sticky and has consistency), lubrication, sweetness and aftertaste (it is difficult for beginners to grasp this rock rhyme).

Unique color

Dahongpao is noble in color and rich in colors, including three-section color, toad back and three red and seven blue colors.

Wuyishan "Dahongpao" gift box (2 pieces) and "three colors": it refers to the characteristics of dry tea. Specifically, the head of dry tea is dark brown and the tail is light red. It can be said that "three colors" is a typical feature of Wuyi rock tea. "Toad's back" is one of the characteristics of traditional tea roasting and fire attack. Generally speaking, the rock tea with toad back is a traditional rock tea. After a long period of baking, it is partially heated and expanded, resulting in small bubbles on the tea surface. Dry tea is difficult to find, and it is easier to observe on the bottom of fried rice cakes. "Three reds and seven greens" refers to the degree of fermentation of tea. When observing the leaf bottom of rock tea, we can find that the leaves are red around, blue in the middle, and green leaves with three dividends and seven points, also known as "green leaf red edge".

Dahongpao tea area environment (9 pieces). Just as Shen Han's "Xie Wang Shi 'an Hui Wuyi Tea Poetry" says: "The fragrance contains Yunv Mountain's head dew, which moistens the cloud at the mouth of the bead curtain." Most of the tea gardens are in the ravines, surrounded by mountains, with short sunshine and no wind damage. Superior natural conditions give birth to the unique charm of rock tea. The geology of Wuyishan is Cretaceous Wuyi layer, with Shi Ying Banyan in the lower part and conglomerate, red sandstone, shale, tuff and volcanic conglomerate in the middle. The parent rocks of tea garden soil are mostly composed of volcanic conglomerate, red sandstone and shale. "The Book of Tea" said that the soil of Chashan "the upper one gives birth to rotten stones, the middle one gives birth to gravel soil, and the lower one gives birth to loess". The soil of Wuyi tea garden is rotten stone or gravel soil. According to Xu Huobo's Textual Research on Tea in Ming Dynasty, "Wuyishan is suitable for tea".

Suitable soil creates the excellent endoplasm of rock tea. Clear water and mountains, steep peaks and deep valleys, high mountains and deep springs, rotten gravel soil, foggy and rainy, sunny and cloudy in the morning, and Wuyi Rock Tea enjoys the Hui Ze of nature exclusively. It is dedicated to people with its unique "fragrant flowers and rocks and bones", which makes the same people sigh. Wuyi rock tea can be divided into rock tea and continent tea. Those who are in the mountains are rock tea, which is the top grade; At the foot of the mountain, it is continent tea, followed by continent tea. In terms of varieties, it includes Luxian tea, Dongbin tea, narcissus, Dahongpao, Wuyi exotic species, cinnamon, cockscomb, oolong, etc., and is often named after the origin, ecology, shape or color and flavor characteristics of tea trees. Wuyi rock tea belongs to semi-fermented tea with "leaf red edge", and its characteristics are most succinctly summarized by Liang Zhang saw in Qing dynasty, that is, the word "sweet, clear and fragrant" (see Notes on Returning to the Field). Its strip shape is strong and even, and its color is green, brown and fresh. After brewing, the tea soup is dark orange, clear and gorgeous. The bottom of the leaf is soft and bright, the edge of the leaf is vermilion, and the heart of the leaf is light green with yellow; Both the sweetness of black tea and the fragrance of green tea; Tea is mild but not cold, and it won't be bad after long storage. The fragrance will be clear and the taste will be mellow. Small pots and cups are often used when making drinks. Because of their rich fragrance, the aftertaste still exists after brewing for five or six times. This kind of tea is most suitable for making congou tea, so it is very popular, and its quality is unique. After it was introduced to Europe in the 18th century, it was deeply loved by local groups, and once had the reputation of "medicine for diseases".

Edited the origin of tea in this paragraph

Wuyi rock tea has a long history, and Dahongpao is the best of Wuyi rock tea, which is said to have its name in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In 1921, Jiang

[2] Shu Nan's travel notes mentioned Wuyishan in several places, such as Tianxinyan Jiulong Guo (that is, there are now three words of Cliff Stone Dahongpao) Legend has it that in 1927, it was carved by a monk in Tianxin Temple, a place in Tianyou Rock, and a place in Zhulian Cave (also called Shuiqian Cave), but unfortunately, these travel notes and surveys did not explain clearly the more specific locations of these Dahongpao, which temple tea house they belonged to, whether they were the same or different species with the same name, whether the characteristics of tea trees were the same and how the quality was. In 1941, Lin Fuquan's article "The Production and Marketing of Wuyi Rock Tea" mentioned that the Leishi Pantuo in Matouyan had Dahongpao, but it was the three Dahongpao plants in Jiulong that recorded the whole process of collecting Dahongpao. In 1958, when Chen Dehua was in Changle No.1 Middle School, Fujian, he saw that there were also three sets of Dahongpao painted by Chen Li, an art teacher of the school, when he was transferred to Wuyishan to sketch. In the spring of 1962, China Tea Institute cut branches of Dahongpao from Wuyishan and brought them back to Hangzhou for cutting and planting. In the spring of 1964, when Xie Qingzi and others from Fujian Tea Research Institute came to Wuyishan, they were also accompanied by Chen Dehua to Kowloon Cottage to cut the three branches of Dahongpao and bring them back to Fuan Shekou. From the late 197s to the early 198s, Chen Dehua presided over the excavation, sorting, breeding and promotion of Wuyi famous cluster, and made a village-by-village survey of Tianxin Brigade (accompanied by the team leader) in the rock tea producing area at that time, and learned a lot about relevant state-owned farms and related predecessors and tea people. Among them, Dayou Rock, Zhulian Cave (or Shuilian Cave) were not put forward for Dahongpao tea tree. Judging from the four famous tea trees in Wuyishan, Dahongpao, Shuijinggui, Baijiguan and Tieluohan have their own characteristics. Shuijinggui tea tree grows along the road, Baijiguan tea tree itself is unique, and its tender leaves are light yellow for about 5 days. The iron arhat grows in the ghost cave, and the tree is 3.3 meters high, while the Dahongpao grows halfway up the cliff in Kowloon. It is said that in 1927, the monk of Tianxin Temple carved the word "Dahongpao" next to the tea tree. At that time, the name was engraved on this tea tree in Wuyishan, and it was said that a dignitary had left Dahongpao tea in order to get the original Dahongpao.
