The custom of "blessing and sealing tea" originated in the Qing Dynasty and was initiated by Emperor Qianlong. Later, his courtiers and literati followed suit and became a fashion.
According to legend, Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and went to Hangzhou. A cup of Longjing touched Emperor Qianlong, who sealed 18 fine tea tree for imperial use, that is, 18 tea tree in front of Gong Hu Temple in Hangzhou today, and became a tourist attraction.
After returning to Beijing, Gan Long presented the tea seal to the minister. Ministers can't seal the tea tree, so they learn the best tea from the emperor's practice, write down the word "Dahongfu" and seal it on the teapot, hoping to leave a happy place. Scholars are even more enthusiastic about tea, and soon the blessing of sealing tea has become an indispensable protagonist on the tea table of the upper class, and it has become a fashion day by day.
Today, this custom is still prevalent in celebrity tea rooms in contemporary Beijing. People call it "Fufeng Tea", which inherits the traditional customs. "Fuji tea set" with Fufeng tea as the main part and Fuzi seal as the base is supplemented. Take the meaning of "a hundred blessings to achieve".
The word "Fu" in today's "Fufeng Tea" was written by the famous calligrapher and playwright Heng Yue, who was the fifth son of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty and the grandson of Prince Gong.
"Fufeng Tea Set" has no fixed tea varieties and tea sets, but all the top grades selected from daily tea tables recommended by tea customers and famous artists, which are stored in limited quantities or customized in limited quantities. "Fufeng Tea" does not advocate excessive packaging, but pursues excellent "tea ware" and simple packaging, which has become its unique style.
