Yellow tea is a specialty of China. It is divided into yellow bud tea, yellow small tea and yellow big tea according to the size of fresh leaves, old buds and leaves. Yellow bud tea mainly includes Huoshan Huangya; Weishan Maojian, Quanchenghong, Quancheng Green, Pingyang Huangtang, etc. are all yellow small teas; while Anhui Wanxi Jinzhai, Huoshan, Hubei Yingshan and Guangdong Dayeqing are yellow big teas. The quality characteristic of yellow tea is "yellow leaves and yellow soup".
Huoshan yellow buds are mainly produced in Jinjishan, Dahuaping Town, Huoshan, Anhui, Jinzhuping, Taiyang Township, Jiugongshan, Shangtu City, Danlong Temple, Mozitan, Hujiahe and other places. Huoshan Huangya is one of the famous teas in China. The shape of the tea is straight and slightly spread, evenly formed into flowers, shaped like a sparrow's tongue, and covered with tender green hair. It has a fragrant and long-lasting aroma, a fresh and mellow taste, a rich and sweet taste, a clear and bright yellow-green soup, and bright yellow leaves at the bottom.
Li Zhao's "National History Supplement" of the Tang Dynasty listed Huangya as one of the 14 items of tribute tea. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Huoshan Huangya was listed as tribute tea in all dynasties.
According to testing by the Tea Quality Inspection Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, Huoshan Huangya has as many as 46 aroma components. It is also rich in amino acids, tea polyphenols, coffee and other biochemical components, and has lipid-lowering properties. It has the functions of losing weight, protecting teeth and improving eyesight, improving gastrointestinal function, and enhancing immunity. In April 2006, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine approved the implementation of geographical indication product protection for Huoshan Huangya.
Quality characteristics
The quality characteristics of Huoshan yellow buds are: straight and slightly spread in shape, uniformly formed into flowers, shaped like a bird's tongue, bright green and fragrant. The fragrance is long-lasting, the taste is fresh and mellow, thick and sweet, the soup is clear and bright yellow-green, and the bottom of the leaves is bright yellow.
Geographical introduction
Huoshan is located in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains. It belonged to Shengtang County, Shouzhou, Huainan Road in ancient times. There is a record of tea production in Huoshan in Lu Yu's "The Book of Tea" in the Tang Dynasty. The second volume of "Supplement to the History of the Tang Dynasty" written by Li Zhao of the Tang Dynasty records: "Tea is valued by customs, and its reputation benefits the public. ... There are yellow buds from Huoshan in Shouzhou." Huangya is one of the nearly twenty famous teas in the Tang Dynasty. According to "Qunfang Pu" written by Wang Xiangjin of the Ming Dynasty, Shouzhou Huoshan Huangya was one of the most famous teas at that time. In the Qing Dynasty, Huoshan Huangya was used as tribute tea, with a tribute of three hundred kilograms every year. It can be seen that Huoshan Huangya has been famous for hundreds of years. However, after the evolution of the past dynasties, it was later lost. Huoshan Huangya was only heard of its name, but its tea was not seen. The current Huoshan Huangya was created and resumed production in 1972. It won the Provincial Quality Award in 1989, the Ministry of Commerce Award in 1990, the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" Spark Science and Technology Award in the same year, and won the third "Chinese Tea Cup" award in 1997. Prizes.
Origin and environment
The Huoshan Mountains are in the west of Anhui Province and connect with the Dabie Mountains on the border of Henan, Hubei and Anhui. The main peak, Baimajian, is 1,774 meters above sea level. The county is named after the mountain. The Dabie Mountains and Huoshan Mountains in the southwest of Huoshan County run through the entire territory from southwest to northeast, and the terrain is higher in the south and lower in the north. The southwest-northeast-trending Huoshan Mountains and the northwest-southeast-trending Dabie Mountains show a sharp turn, which is commonly known as the "Huoshan Arc". The upper reaches of the Dongpi River within the "Huoshan Arc" above Foziling Reservoir is currently the main production area of ??Huoshan yellow buds, mainly Jinzhuping in Taiyang Township.
The "Huoshan Arc" forms a series of barriers connected by mountains along the northwest, west, south and southeast borders of Huoshan County. The outer periphery is higher than the central hinterland. Only the area around the Foziling Reservoir Dam is a long and narrow arc. the mouth of the canyon. The Zhongshan District in the "Huoshan Arc" is more than 800 meters above sea level. It has high mountains, steep slopes, deep valleys, cold winters and few tea trees. The ecological environment of the branches and mountain shoulders between 400 and 800 meters above sea level is suitable for growing tea. High-end Huoshan yellow buds are mostly produced in this area. The low mountain valley basin in the upper reaches of the Dongpi River has thick slopes and residual sediments, fertile land, and Foziling and Mozitan reservoirs to regulate the climate. It is an important production area of ??Huoshan Huangya (also Huoshan tea). Huoshan County spans 31 degrees to 31 degrees 31 minutes north latitude and 115 degrees 55 minutes east longitude to 116 degrees 43 minutes east longitude. It belongs to the northern subtropical humid monsoon climate zone, with four distinct seasons, moderate hot and cold temperatures, and large regional differences and vertical changes.
Temperature The annual average temperature is 15.1℃, the average temperature in July is 27.87℃, and the average temperature in January is 2℃. There are less severe heat and severe cold, and they do not last long. The number of continuous days of ≧0℃ is 336 days, and the annual accumulated temperature is 4700℃. The maximum temperature decline rate with altitude is larger than usual, especially in summer it can reach 0.7-0.8℃/100 meters, and mountainous areas are warm and cool in summer.
There are often significant temperature inversions below 800 meters in mountains. There are 23 days of high temperature weather of ≧35℃ in Chengguan, but the vertical decline rate is large, and there are almost no high temperature weather in mountains above 500 meters.
The average annual total sunlight radiation is 488.18 kilojoules/cm2, the annual sunshine hours reach 2,000 to 2,200 hours, and the annual sunshine rate is 47 (the maximum in history is 53, and the minimum is 40).
Precipitation: The annual precipitation is 1 100-1 600 mm. Generally, when the altitude increases by 100 meters, the average precipitation increases by 60 to 70 mm. There is more precipitation in the mountains than outside the mountains. Precipitation in spring and summer accounts for about 70% of the whole year, and less in autumn and winter.
The relative humidity is 80 all year round, with about 200 days of ≧80 throughout the year, and there are few low-humidity and dry weather.
There are about 24-33 foggy days throughout the year, and there are more mountains inside than outside. According to observations from the county meteorological bureau, Baijiashan in Dahuaping Town (the origin of authentic yellow buds) at an altitude of 500 meters has an annual precipitation of 1,818 mm and an average annual foggy day of 181 days.
The soil widely distributed in the middle and low mountainous areas and high hilly areas is yellow-brown soil, which is mostly acidic and weakly acidic (pH 5-6.5). Coarse skeletal yellow-brown soil accounts for 96.84%. The soil-forming parent material is a variety of weathered residual deposits and slope deposits of rocks. The soil is in its infancy stage of development and has the characteristics of "coarse bones" and "thin layers" (it is a large type of gravel soil, and the soil layer is usually less than 30 cm). It has good permeability, poor fertilizer retention and wide seed adaptability. According to the county soil census in 1984, the average content of various nutrients: organic matter 2.5, total nitrogen 0.12, available phosphorus 11 mg/kg, available potassium 86 mg/kg.
Huoshan yellow buds are mainly produced in Dahuaping Town, Jinzhuping, Jinji Mountain, Huoshaoling, Jinjiawan, Wumijian, Mozitan and other places in the mountainous areas above 600 meters above sea level in Huo County. The mountains here are high There are heavy clouds and fog, abundant rain, high relative air humidity, a lot of diffuse light, a large temperature difference between day and night, loose soil, fertile soil, a pH value of about 5.5, lush tea forests, and good ecological conditions, which are extremely suitable for the growth of tea trees.
Yield data
The yield data of Huoshan Huangya before liberation was not found. After liberation, state acquisition began in the 1970s. The output was 110 jins in 1974 and 1010 jins in 1978. In 1981 it rose to 3,061 pounds.
Huoshan Huangya originated before the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhao's "Supplement to the History of the Tang Dynasty" in the Tang Dynasty listed Shouzhou Huoshan Huangya as one of the fourteen famous tribute teas. Huoshan Huangya was used as cake tea in the Tang Dynasty. In Tang Yangye's "Golden Records Handled by Shanfu" it is recorded: "There is a small group of Huoshan in Shouzhou. This may be an imitation of small pieces of dragon bud as a tribute. The number is very small. In ancient times, it was called Huoshan Huangya. The ancients described the flag as a piece of armor, with leaves as soft as cicada wings, as unpressed loose tea."
"Historical Records" says: There are yellow buds on Shouchun Mountain, which can be boiled. Drink it and take it for a long time to gain immortality. Liuhuo is the old Shouchun. One is called fairy bud, also known as Shouzhou Huoshan yellow bud. Xiaoxian Chun in Liu'an Prefecture has the best tea, and the Ming Dynasty began to pay tribute. Since the seventh year of Hongzhi, Huoshan County has been divided into prefectures and counties. County household purchasers should report to Huizhou General.
There are two hundred bags of Lu'an Prefecture Sui Gong Ya Tea, each bag weighing one pound or twelve taels. Since the establishment of Huoshan County in the seventh year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, it has been divided according to the quota, with 25 bags of tea in the prefecture and 175 bags of tea in the county...
Due to this, the dynasty continued until the 23rd day of Kangxi's reign. Every year, an additional 100 bags will be organized. The prefecture will handle 37 bags, totaling 64 jins and 12 taels. The county will handle 263 bags, totaling 460 jins and 4 taels. Every year, the state prepares the price and sends the county to buy the same color of bud tea...
Today, there are hundreds of tea-producing places, and only a dozen places pay tribute. In the Ming Dynasty, Lu'an was dedicated to the tribute, and the rest were sold to the market. . Every year, the number of offerings increased to 360, and there are also deputy titles to make up for the lack. The amount of the state is less than ten, which is twice as much as its strength, but the six enjoy its success. ——"Huoshan County Chronicles Tribute Tea" in the 17th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty
Historical origins
Tea
Tea is the top product in this mountain. The highest grade is called Silver Needle (take only one shot from the top of the branch), the second is called Bird's Tongue (take the slightly spread two leaves from the top of the branch), the third is called Plum Blossom Slice (take the youngest leaf), and is called Orchid Head. (Take three or five leaves from the top of the branch) and call it Usnea (imitation of Huiming's method, but Hui makes leaves and Huo makes whole leaves).
All are harvested by hand, and they are all valued before the rain. The highest one is made by letting the branches naturally form, which is called Maojian. It has names such as Gongjian, Ruijian, Yuqianjian, Yuhoujian, Dongshanjian, and Xishanjian (the Westshankian has more branches after rain, and the branches grow longer. And the taste is better than the rain in Dongshan). The second is called Lianzhi, which includes white Lianzhi, Quancheng red, Quancheng green, green Lianzhi and black Lianzhi, all of which are ranked according to old and tender. When the tea leaves are too old to be picked carefully, the remaining leaves are rubbed together and called Fan Ke, and they are all first teas. By the beginning of May, new stems will grow again. Its leaves are larger and thicker than Toucha, and its taste is slightly astringent. The price is less than half of the price of the first tea branches, so it is called Zi tea.

"Historical Records"
"Historical Records" said: Shouchun Mountain has yellow Yayan can be boiled and drunk. Taking it for a long time will make you immortal. Liuhuo is the old Shouchun. One is called fairy bud, also known as Shouzhou Huoshan yellow bud. Xiaoxian Chun in Liu'an Prefecture has the best tea, and the Ming Dynasty began to pay tribute. Since the seventh year of Hongzhi, Huoshan County has been divided into prefectures and counties. Purchasers from county households should be transferred to the prefecture for general admission.
"Liu'an Prefecture Chronicles·Products"

Among goods, tea is First. The tea mountain environment has all kinds of conditions. Most of the mountains are high and foggy. According to Li Zhao, the produce must be good because of the pure air of heaven and earth. There are a few plants hanging in the rock crevices. They do not need artificial cultivation. They are especially refreshing and unparalleled. The fog in Nanxiang is steep. , Gualongjian and around two mountains, the produce is the best in the city, the harvesting and processing are exquisite, and the price is twice as high as that in other villages. The tea merchants bought the tea on the spot, and the Qiannv workers inspected and distributed the colors, packed them in large baskets, and transported them to Suzhou. Su Shangxun transferred orchids and jasmine from Neiyang to Yingkou and distributed them in the three eastern provinces. Recently, there are also those who produced Huizhou overseas. Secondly, Northeast Township and southwest urban areas are mostly transported north to Bozhou and Zhoujiakou, half-smoked jasmine, and resold in Kyoto, Shanxi, and Shandong. Xixiang starts from the west of Tiling and meanders to the south. The tea leaves are thick, slightly bitter, and the branches are thick. The stems are thick and not refined after being harvested and roasted. They are all bought by Qingqi tea merchants in Dahuaping and Wuxihe and shipped to Shandong Province. To the north of Zhufo Nunnery, the natives transported tide branches to Liubo Shitong in the prefecture, where they were bought by Western merchants, baked by themselves, and sold to Shanxi, Outer Mongolia and other places. The Jiuwubao in the extreme west produces very little, has poor taste and preparation, and is mostly bought by the people of Hubei. The names of flowers recorded in the previous records: such as silver needles and sparrow tongues, indicate that the tea has begun to sprout; plum blossom slices, orchid heads, and pine and spring flowers indicate that the tea has begun to release leaves; they are collectively called small teas, and the price is several times higher. It is difficult to collect it, so it can only be found in several places near the city, Liulin River, and Buddhist monasteries. Most of it is transported and sold in Kyoto. The climate is slightly warmer in the southeast, and it can be picked before the Grain Rain, so it is also known as Maojian before the rain. After the rain in the West Valley, the mountains can only be opened. It takes several days to pick once and it takes twenty days to complete. Therefore, there are first way, second way, third way and fourth way. Finally, the leaves are collected and pheasants are collected, which is called Fan Ke Lao Tea, which is commonly used among the people. After the spring tea is finished, new seedlings will appear again in May and June, which is called Zicha. It is dry and flat with a slightly astringent taste, and its price is half the price. However, those who cherish the tea plant will never harvest it. If they harvest it, the tea will flourish the next spring.
Another kind of Kuding tea is called Kuding tea. Although it is called tea, it is actually woody, with branches and leaves as large as tea. There are two types: one with small leaves and thorns; the other with large and round leaves, both of which grow naturally. There is a seedless seed among the rocks in the deep mountains. It is harvested at the same time as tea. It has a bitter taste and is extremely cool in nature. It can be used as medicine. In recent years, tea merchants have been buying it. Mountain people are increasingly looking for it to plant it, so it is extremely difficult to grow it.
"Natural History"
Those who drink real tea will make people sleep less.
"Pan Zhi"
Liu'an tea is produced jointly by Liu and Huosuo. The name of Liu'an was when Huo had not established a county and had already paid tribute. also. "Tianqi Zhi" states that it was named after Liu'an Village (the village's original name was Liuwan, and it was falsely called Liu'an). The Guhuo Mountains are very rich, and the six lands are vast and sparse. The amount of tea produced is actually higher than that of Huo, but the amount of tribute is less than ten. According to the state annals, there is a theory that the prefecture tea is black and the county tea is yellow, which may be true of Fu Hui. However, Dongshan is the earliest place to produce tea, and Dongshan is all within the state. Every year, the government recommends new products and tributes from the county, and all the people of the state go to the county to sell them before the rain. Huo's products are produced in the southwest, but they are late after the rain, so there is no time to pay tribute. Therefore, the proper name of tea, Liu'an, is also a record.
"Wu Zhi"
The natives do not recognize the taste of tea, but only Yan, Qi, Henan and Chu need it for daily use. Every year, investment banks come with money from thousands of miles away. The teeth bear the burden of all the merchants, and they cut off the tea merchants every moment to pay for it: the silver is melted and changed to a low color; the scales are any weight; the price is lower and higher with each passing day, and more tea is sampled.
The tea households cannot compare with them; despite repeated warnings, detailed constitutions, and strict inspections by the township security guards, the tea households are somewhat clean and affordable, but the disadvantages have not been eliminated. Although the benefits of tea are rich, the work is the most diligent: picking every day, frying and baking at night, and you can't sleep for ten days. The manpower is insufficient, and foreign workers must be hired generously. The slightly higher price of tea can still be compensated. After the rise of the army, donations became more and more expensive. Business costs are heavy, which in turn reduces public value. Recently, the number of traders has gradually increased, and there is actually a Huiyuan tea merchant, who is expected to dominate the market in terms of value. Shrewd traders bought it, and then added old leaves and added water. This gave the tea merchants an excuse, so the price of tea dropped further and further. Since Guangxu, every catty of silver is no more than enough money, and when it is cheap, it is only seven or eight cents, so the people's income is poor. Near Hui County, they imitated foreign countries and used mechanical baking, which made them more refined and less laborious, and they were quite profitable. If the gentry and merchants in this city can collect shares, set up companies, and refine their manufacturing, then the benefits and power will be in my hands, and all the disadvantages will be eliminated. Westerners also say: The fragrance of Huo tea is better than that produced in Huizhou.

Every year, the state prepares the price and sends the county to buy the same color of bud tea...
Farmers in this county pick the best before the rain, buds one shot and one flag, select them according to the law, seal them in yellow silk bags, and store them in four boxes , use the dragon flag and dragon burden to advance respectfully. In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, 1,200 bags of tribute tea were issued, and in the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign, an additional 100 bags were issued. In the first year of Qianlong's reign, there were 720 bags of tribute tea.

Health care effects
Lipid reduction and weight loss
Huangya is a non-fermented natural tea that retains the natural substances in the fresh leaves and is rich in amino acids and tea polyphenols. , vitamins, fatty acids and other beneficial ingredients. Tea polyphenols can remove the accumulation of cholesterol on arterial blood vessel walls and inhibit the uptake of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by cells, thereby achieving the purpose of blood lipids, preventing and buffering arteriosclerosis.
Resist radiation
Computer radiation not only harms our health, but also affects the quality and efficiency of work. People who frequently use computers can drink yellow bud tea to supplement specific phytonutrients and eliminate dark circles caused by computer radiation. The concentrated tea polyphenols contained in yellow buds can inhibit free radicals from damaging the skin's supporting fibers. They are currently recognized as the most effective anti-free radicals. Yellow buds contain effective ingredients for radiation protection. Experiments have shown that they are mainly tea polyphenols, lipopolysaccharides, vitamin C, vitamin E and some amino acids. Its mechanism of action is also a detoxification effect against the amount of free radicals caused by radiation and peroxidation poisoning. Tea polyphenols can resist oxidation and scavenge free radicals, thereby achieving anti-radiation effects and acting as a radiation protectant.
Protect your teeth and improve your eyesight
The basic components of tooth tissue are fluorine, phosphorus, and lime, which make teeth smooth and hard, acid-resistant and wear-resistant. Huangya tea has a high fluoride content, about 75-100 mg per kilogram. Therefore, regular drinking of tea can absorb enough fluoride to meet the body's demand for fluoride, which is good for protecting teeth and strengthening teeth. And tea can also prevent dental caries. The human body's ability to resist caries is related to the amount of fluoride contained in the dental hard tissue. Regular drinking of yellow bud tea or gargling with tea is an effective way to prevent and treat dental caries.
Anti-aging and longevity
There is no doubt that yellow buds can make women more beautiful! Yellow buds are not only rich in vitamin C, but the flavonoids in them also effectively increase the antioxidant effect of vitamin C. The combination of the two has a rare effect on maintaining skin whitening and youthfulness.
Refreshing and refreshing
Yellow buds contain an appropriate amount of caffeine, and the presence of tea catechin prevents its disadvantages from being exerted in the body, but an appropriate amount stimulates skeletal muscles and accelerates bone formation. The contraction of muscles stimulates the central nervous system. Coupled with the fragrance of the volatile oil in the tea, drinking it is refreshing and refreshing. After stressful work and labor, drinking a cup of yellow bud tea can cheer up the spirit and relieve fatigue; drinking a cup of yellow bud tea while working can improve the efficacy.
Enhance immunity
The human body has its own immune function to resist the invasion of foreign microorganisms and maintain the health of the body. This immune defense system recognizes pathogens invading the human body through the formation of immune protein bodies, and then uses the white blood cells and lymphocytes in the human body to produce antibodies and macrophages to perform the task of encirclement and annihilation. Drinking tea can increase the number and activity of white blood cells and lymphocytes in the human body and promote the formation of interleukin in spleen cells, thereby enhancing the body's immune function.
Helps digestion and improves gastrointestinal tract
The catechin compounds in Huoshan Huangya tea can eliminate bad breath and have the following four functions: ① Remove the bad breath substance in the mouth - methyl sulfide Alcohol; ② Combine with amino acids, the substrate for oral bacteria to act; ③ Have bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects on bacteria in the oral cavity; ④ Purify enzymes in oral saliva.
Drinking Huoshan Huangya Tea can eliminate bad breath on the one hand, and can help digestion on the other hand. This is because tea contains aromatic substances, which can not only stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, help digestion and absorption, but also eliminate accumulation of scale in the stomach and reduce symptoms such as dry mouth and bad breath.
As an alkaline drink, the minerals in yellow buds can neutralize acidic foods and maintain the normal pH of human body fluids (slightly alkaline), thereby helping people stay away from "sub-health" and "rich diseases". In addition, the tannins in yellow buds have the effect of photographing bacteria, and caffeine can enhance gastric juice secretion and help digestion. Therefore, regular drinking of yellow bud tea can also have strong gastrointestinal function.
Produces fluid and quenches thirst, relieves heat and relieves summer heat
According to the "Tea Book": "People drink real tea to quench their thirst." "Daily Materia Medica" records: tea can "relieve restlessness and quench thirst." In Sun Dachuan's "External Collection of Tea Spectrum": "It purifies irritability, cures thirst, and reshapes the bones to make the body lighter. The benefits of tea are like magic." Drinking tea can quench thirst, everyone knows. In the scorching heat of midsummer, a cup of green tea will fill your mouth with excitement. In addition to the tea soup replenishing water for the human body, the polyphenols, free sugars, amino acids, vitamin C and saponin compounds in the tea react with the saliva in the mouth to moisten the mouth, produce a cooling feeling, and also significantly quench thirst. effect.
Tea is also a drink that clears away heat and relieves internal heat. Li Shizhen, a famous ancient Chinese medical scientist, wrote in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Tea is bitter and cold, the yin in the yin, sinking, and descending. Introduction to Li Zhao, it is best for reducing fire. Fire is responsible for all diseases. When fire descends, the upper part will be clear. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, tea, especially green tea, is a cooling food that clears fire.
