Lu Yu of Cha Sheng recorded in the Book of Tea that "Hangzhou, Qiantang Tianzhu and Lingyin Temple produced tea", indicating that Longjing began to produce tea from the Tang Dynasty. The tea named "Longjing" began in the Song Dynasty, and it didn't really become famous until the Qing Dynasty. When Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty, he went to Longjing Tea District for four times to taste Longjing Tea, which was full of praise and named 18 tea trees in front of Hugong Temple as "Imperial Tea". Since then, Longjing tea has become more valuable and famous all over the world, and it is known as "golden bud" and "unparalleled product". Historically, according to the origin, there are five brands: lion, dragon, cloud, tiger and plum, among which the quality of the old well produced in Shifeng is considered to be the best.

Longjing is a roasted green tea. "Longjing is the best in tea". It is known for its green color, beautiful shape, rich fragrance and mellow taste. Its unique peerless look and extraordinary quality of "light and far away" and "fragrant and clear" are unique among many famous teas, ranking first among the top ten famous teas in China. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a record that "the teas in Hangjun County are always inferior to the production of Longjing, but the fine buds before the rain are especially precious."

Dongting Biluochun

Biluochun is also called "Dongting Biluochun" because it is produced in the area of Dongting Mountain and West Dongting Mountain (now Wuzhong District, Suzhou) in Taihu Lake, Wuxian County, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. There is another name for this tea, "It scares people". According to legend, a nun went to the mountain for a spring outing and picked some tea leaves. After making tea, it smelled wonderful and blurted out, "It scares people", so the locals called this tea "Scaring people".

Biluochun has been a tribute as early as the Tang Dynasty. Its producing area is a famous tea-fruit intercropping area in China. The branches of tea trees and fruit trees are connected, and the roots and veins are the same. The tea smells like fruit and flowers, which cultivates the natural quality of flowers and fruits of Biluochun in Dongting. Biluochun was as expensive as gold before the Ming Dynasty, and it took 7, buds to get a catty of Biluochun, so Biluochun was also called "Kung Fu Tea" and "New Blood Tea". After frying, the dried tea strips are tightly knotted, the white hairs are exposed, the color is silvery green, the emerald is attractive, and it curls into snails; When Biluochun is put into the cup, the tea sinks to the bottom, and in an instant, "white clouds are rolling and snowflakes are flying". Looking at its shape, the color is light green and bright, just like snow waves spraying beads, spring dyeing the bottom of the cup, and the green is full of crystal palace; Drinking its taste, the head is light, fragrant and elegant; Second, it is green, fragrant and mellow; Three actions are clear, fragrant and sweet, which are really precious, just like high-grade handicrafts. People praised: "copper wire strips, spiral, covered with hair, fragrant and fruity, fresh and refreshing."

Huangshan Mao Feng

Huangshan Mao Feng is produced in Huangshan (Huizhou) area, so it is also called Huizhou tea. Created by Xie Yuda Tea House in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. Every year, in Qingming Grain Rain, the plump and tender buds of improved tea varieties "Huangshan Species" and "Huangshan Daye Species" are selected and fried by hand. The tea is slightly curly in shape, like a sparrow tongue, yellowed in green, with silvery hair exposed and golden fish leaves (commonly known as golden slices). Brewing in a cup makes the fog top, the soup is clear and yellowish, the leaves are yellow and green with vitality, the taste is mellow and sweet, the aroma is blue, and the charm is deep and long. Because the newly-made tea is covered with white hair, with sharp buds and fresh leaves collected from the peak of Huangshan Mountain, it was named Huangshan Mao Feng. "Golden flake" and "ivory color" are two major features of Huangshan Mao Feng.

junshan silver needle

as early as two thousand years ago, Hunan was already a famous tea-producing place in China. Emperor Yan Shennong once said, "There are seventy-two poisons in Japan and China, which can be solved by tea." Hunan has a long history of producing tea, and there are many famous tea products, among which Junshan Silver Needle is the most famous. Junshan Silver Needle belongs to yellow tea. Its finished tea buds are strong, uniform in length and size. The inside of the tea buds is golden yellow, and the outer layer is completely exposed, and the package is solid. The tea buds look like silver needles, which is called "gold inlaid jade". There is a poem praising: "Gold inlaid with jade, the heart of dust is gone, and the Dongting in Sichuan is coming for a good month."

junshan silver needle began in the Tang dynasty and was listed as "tribute tea" in the Qing dynasty. According to the "Baling County Records", "The tea produced in Junshan is as green as a lotus seed." "Junshan tribute tea has been 18 kilograms per year since the Qing Dynasty." Junshan Yinzhen Tea has high aroma, mellow and sweet taste, high yellow soup, strong buds, really even strips, white hairs like feathers, golden and shiny buds, light yellow hairs, thick and even leaves, sweet and sweet taste, and its taste will not change for a long time. After brewing, the buds rise to the surface of the water vertically in the soup, slowly sink, then rise and sink again, shaped like a group of bamboo shoots unearthed, and like a silver knife standing upright, three ups and three downs, which becomes an interesting view.

Lu' an melon slices

Lu' an melon slices are produced in Dabie Mountain, Lu' an City, Anhui Province. They were called "Luzhou Lu' an Tea" in the Tang Dynasty and "Lu' an Melon Slices" in the Ming Dynasty. They are top-grade and best-quality teas. They are named because the tea leaves look like melon seeds. They are naturally flat, with slightly warped leaves, bright green color and even size, without bud tips and tea stalks. They are fragrant and Gao Shuang, and have a fresh and mellow taste.

Among all the tea leaves in the world, Luan Guapian is the only tea without buds and stalks, which is made of a single raw leaf. De-budding not only keeps a single body, but also has no smell of grass; The stem has been lignified in the production process, and after being removed, it can ensure that the tea tastes strong but not bitter, fragrant but not astringent. Cucumber slices in Lu 'an are picked within ten days before and after Grain Rain, and two or three leaves are taken when picking, so as to be "strong" rather than "tender".

Xinyang Maojian tea

Su Dongpo once said, "Huainan tea is the first in Xinyang." Xinyang Maojian Tea, also known as Henan Mao Feng, is one of the top ten famous teas in China and one of the famous specialties in Henan Province. Maojian is named because of its delicate lines, straight and sharp peaks, and full of white hairs. It is also named Xinyang Maojian because of its origin in Xinyang. It has always been famous at home and abroad for its unique style of "thin, round, tight, straight, with white hairs, high fragrance, strong taste and green color". In 1915, Xinyang Maojian tea won the gold prize with Kweichow Moutai at Panama World Expo, and was known as the "king of green tea", which is one of the best quality and famous green teas.

Xinyang Maojian tea has a unique personality in color, fragrance, taste and shape. Its color is fresh and clean, and it contains no impurities. Its aroma is elegant and fresh, and its taste is fresh, mellow and sweet. From the appearance, it is even, bright green and shiny, with obvious whiteness. After washing, the fragrance is high and lasting, the taste is strong and mellow, and the soup is bright and clear. The proportion of the first bud and the first leaf of the super-grade hairy tip is over 85%; The first-class hairy tip is mainly composed of one bud and one leaf, and the normal bud leaves account for more than 8%; It is required not to pick pedicels or fresh leaves. Boil a pot of clean water, brew a new tea this spring, and watch the soft green blossom slowly in the cup. First, it is like a lotus that has been sleeping for thousands of years and gradually wakes up. Later, it is like a graceful maiden on the murals of the Mogao Grottoes. Only when the tea is fragrant and transpiration, the calm heart is fragrant.

Duyun Maojian Tea

Duyun Maojian Tea is mainly produced in duyun city, Guizhou Province, and was named by Grandpa Mao in 1956, also known as "White Maojian Tea", "Fine Maojian Tea" and "Que Tongcha Tea". Duyun area has undulating valleys, with an altitude of 1, meters, canyons and streams, lush forests and shrouded in clouds. There is no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer, and the four seasons are pleasant. The annual average temperature is 16 C, and the annual average precipitation is more than 1,4 mm. In addition, the soil layer is deep, the soil is loose and moist, the soil is acidic or slightly acidic, and it contains a lot of iron and phosphate. These special natural conditions are not only suitable for the growth of tea trees, but also form the unique style of Duyun Maojian, which belongs to Guizhou famous green tea.

"In the field of green tea in China, Guizhou green tea is the top grade, while in Guizhou green tea, Duyun Maojian is the best and a luxury." This is the positioning and evaluation of Duyun Maojian by the insiders, and it is also the highest praise for the quality of Duyun Maojian. Duyun Maojian has the quality characteristics of "compact and curly appearance, evenly distributed hairs, green and moist color, bright yellow and green tea soup, tender chestnut fragrance, high and lasting taste, dry and sweet aftertaste, tender and even leaves, bright yellow and green". In 1915, Duyun Maojian won the gold medal at Panama International Expo, which is one of the famous "two hairs (hairs)" in Guizhou, namely "North Maotai, South Maotai.

qimen black tea

qimen black tea, also known as qimen gongfu, is known as "the world's top three highly fragrant black teas" with Darjeeling tea in India and Wuwo tea in Sri Lanka in the western world, with a long history and a worldwide reputation. Qimen black tea looks tight and delicate, with little gold and dark color; After brewing, the aroma is fragrant and lasting, like fruit and orchid. This aroma is specially called "Qimenxiang" in the international tea market, which shows that the aroma is very unique. The soup is red and bright, with fresh, mellow and thick taste and tender, soft and bright leaves.

Taiping Monkey Kui

Like Fujian, Anhui is a big tea-producing province, which produces many famous teas, such as Huangshan Mao Feng, Taiping Monkey Kui, Luan Guapian, Yongxi Huoqing, Huoshan Huangya, Qimen Black Tea and so on. In fact, a famous tea is produced in Anhui, which is somewhat "how can it be bright when it is born" and it is difficult to stand out from the crowd. In particular, Huangshan Mao Feng, Taiping Monkey Kui and Lu 'an Guapian are tied together, so it's hard to say who is better than who. If you have to choose one of them as the representative of Anhui, I personally recommend Taiping Monkey Kui.

Taipinghoukui is produced in huangshan district at the northern foot of Huangshan Mountain. Because of its low temperature and humidity, fertile soil and fog, Huangshan Mountain has a unique tea quality. Its core producing area is Xinming Township, huangshan district, Huangshan City, and the quality of Monkey Pit, Monkey Gang and Yanjia in Monkey Pit Village is the best. Taiping Monkey Kui is the "crown of pointed tea" in China, with two leaves sprouting, flat and straight, natural stretching and white hair hiding, and has the reputation of "Monkey Kui has two sharp heads, which will not spread, become warped and curl". In 24, he won the title of "Green Tea King" at the International Tea Expo.

Taipinghoukui has strict control from the beginning of picking fresh leaves. Every year around Grain Rain, when 2% of the buds grow to the first stage of three leaves, the garden can be opened. The picking standard is the first exhibition of one bud and three leaves, and the "four picking" is strictly achieved: one picking mountain, picking mountain, shady mountain and tea mountain covered with clouds; Second, picking the bushes, picking the tea bushes of persimmon tea varieties with lush trees; Third, pick branches, pick thick, straight shoots; Pick the tip four times, and the fresh leaves collected should be "picked", that is, the "tip" with two leaves in one bud should be broken off as the raw material for making the monkey head. When "picking the tip", the bud leaves are too big, too small, thin, curved, pale in color, purple, sandwiched leaves, leaves of pests and diseases (that is, "eight don't"). It should be noted that due to the low temperature in Huangshan Mountain and the high altitude, there is no such thing as tea before the Ming Dynasty, but there may be a small amount of first harvest after the Qingming Festival and before Grain Rain.

Taipinghoukui is one of the few teas with great beauty, which generally refers to the standard 5-7cm. It is the hunchback of notre dame in tea, with rough appearance and excellent internal quality. The leaves are pale green and even, and the veins are green and hidden red, commonly known as "red silk thread"; Brewing in a cup, the bud leaves slowly spread out and spread into flowers, hanging or sinking, but the color of the tea soup is only clear, and there is no particularly bright green color; The taste of the product is fragrant and lasting, and it can withstand several times of brewing. It has the artistic conception of "the first bubble is high, the second bubble is strong, and the three bubbles and four bubbles are still fragrant". The essence of the Monkey King lies in its "light taste". Although it is not heavy, it has a natural flavor and an endless aftertaste.

Lushan cloud

Lushan cloud was originally a kind of wild tea, named after it was produced in Lushan Mountain, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, China. Song Dynasty began to be listed as "tribute tea". Yunwu tea has a unique flavor. Due to the cool and foggy climate of Lushan Mountain and the short direct sunlight time, its leaves are thick, rich, mellow and resistant to foaming.

Lushan Yunwu tea is usually described as "six unique", that is, "thick rope, lush, bright soup color, tender and even leaves, lasting fragrance, mellow and sweet taste".
