Nan 'an Shiting Green, also known as Shiting Tea, is a kind of fried green Shiting green tea, which is famous for its "three greens and three fragrances" quality style. It is compact in appearance, heavy in body and bone, silvery gray with green in color, clear and green in soup, and bright and green in leaves, which is to set the beauty of "three greens"; The taste is mellow and refreshing, and the aroma is rich, like orchid flowers, but also like mung beans and almonds, which is known as "three fragrances".
Shiting Green is produced in Jiuri Mountain and Lianhuafeng in Fengzhou Township, Nan 'an, Fujian. "There are flowers in the four seasons, and it often rains, but there is no snow in one winter, but thunder is heard." This is a poem sung by Han Yong, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, which really reflects the natural climate here. It is located on the coast of southern Fujian, with mild climate and rare frost and snow. At the same time, influenced by the coastal monsoon, it is cloudy and sunny, with proper illumination and fertile and loose soil, which provides good natural conditions for the growth of tea trees. According to the records of Quanzhou Prefecture, Jiuri Mountain was named after "Yi people climbed here on the ninth day". The mountain is 1 meters high, surrounded by three peaks in the east, west and north, and there are 7 square cliff carvings on the mountain, all of which are valuable historical relics.
Lotus Peak, known as Lotus Rock in ancient times, is named after its eight petals of cracked stone and lotus-like shape. "The solitary sail is far away, and the clouds are growing, and the double brakes are hanging high to hold the sun." Climbing the Lotus Peak, looking ahead, there is a golden rooster breaking the bridge, locking up the east and west streams, rippling blue waves, and the water reflects the sky; Head-up, Qingyuan and Shuangyang mountains are listed in the northeast, with a myriad of weather; Overlooking, the East and West Twin Towers, the sun shining, Weichen Licheng; Looking closely, the clumps of tea trees are lush, and the famous tea Shiting Green is abundant here.
There is a stone pavilion on the Lotus Peak, also known as Bulao Pavilion, which was built in the first year of Ming Zhengde (156). According to legend, at the end of the Song Dynasty, Enbukuji monks Jingye and Shengyin found tea trees among the rocks of Lotus Peak, and they carefully cultivated and carefully collected them, and the tea made was a treasure for the monks to offer to the Buddha. After the stone pavilion was built, there were more pilgrims and more tourists, and tea became a good treat and gift.
the history of shiting tea
because of its excellent quality and Buddhist origin, the demand for tea is increasing. Shiting is honored by tea, and tea is also famous for Shiting, and Shiting Green is even more famous.
here is a cliff stone carving describing the tea affair, which reads: "Jia Tai Xin You (121) was awarded the title of Geng Shen in January, and the county magistrate Ni Si Zheng just followed the order to pray for the wind at Zhaohui Temple. After that, he went to Jiuri Mountain to rest in Huaigu Hall, returned to Tang Xiangjiang Cemetery, and returned to Lianhuayan for tea." It can be seen that the famous Shiting green tea produced in Jiuri Mountain and Lianhuafeng has a history of nearly a thousand years. In the light year of Qing Dynasty, Lotus Peak has grown from a few monks to many farmers. With Lotus Peak as the center, the production of Shiting tea has been developed in dozens of mountains such as Wushi Mountain, Xikeng Mountain, Shimashan Mountain, Fahua Mountain and Wuhua Mountain.
