Extended information

Hubei is the hometown of "Tea Saint" Lu Yu and "Tea Patriarch" Shennong. Lu Yu's "The Book of Tea" records that "tea is a drink that originated from Shennong and was heard by Duke Zhou of Lu." (The author of "The Book of Tea" is Lu Yu of the Southern Song Dynasty. This sentence comes from the book and should be the author's own narrative. This sentence The meaning is that tea as a drink in people's daily life began with Shennong, and it was not until Duke Zhou of Lu that it was carried forward and spread.) The legend about Shennong shows clues to the origin of tea drinking. It can also prove Shennongjia’s long history and profound cultural heritage as a tea producing area. In the primitive deep forests of Shennongjia, wild tea trees still grow.

Since ancient times, the clouds and mists in the mountains have produced good tea. High-altitude mountainous areas are filled with clouds and mist, and the quality of sunlight radiation and light received by tea trees is different from that on the plains. Air, temperature, light, soil and other aspects profoundly affect the growth of tea trees and the quality of tea leaves. He Baoyan said that the Shennongjia forest area is rich in natural resources, with a concentration of negative oxygen ions reaching 160,000 per cubic centimeter.

There is a lot of diffuse light, shrouded clouds and mist, and a large temperature difference between day and night, which is conducive to the internal circulation of the tea tree's own nutrients, and the tea polyphenols, amino acids, pectin and other nutrients in the tea tree can be accumulated and stored. In addition, the tea trees in mountainous areas have developed root systems, and effective substances are deposited on the leaves, making the tea taste mellow.

In order to improve the cleanliness of tea leaves and retain more active ingredients, Shennong Qifeng pioneered the "atomization cleaning technology 16-18 hours before picking". The tea leaves are washed directly on the tea trees and spray equipment is used to remove floating dust, pesticide residues, bird droppings, insect eggs and other impurities on the tea leaves.
