Product introduction: Tiantai Yunwu tea trees are mostly planted in mountains with an altitude of 800 to 900 meters. The climate in the tea area is cool in summer and cold in winter, with an average annual temperature of 12.2°C. It is shrouded in thick fog all year round and often snows in winter. The annual precipitation is 1,900 mm, and the tea fields remain moist all year round. The mountainous terrain is sandy loam with deep and fertile soil. Tea farmers choose favorable terrain and plant sporadically, surrounded by other trees, forming a natural barrier against wind and cold, preventing the threat of high mountain winds and cold. Due to the low temperature in the mountains, the buds are slow to germinate, so we start picking them after they are fully grown. One bud and two leaves are just beginning to unfold. To ensure the characteristics of this tea, only spring tea is picked. It was originally fried green tea and was manually operated. Now it has been changed to half-fried and half-baked. Mainly fried, it is still made by hand. The fresh leaves are spread out, dried at high temperature, stirred up and allowed to cool, and then rubbed lightly to lose the initial baking. water, stir the heat and let it cool, stir-fry in a pan, bake at low temperature, cool slightly and pack into boxes. After brewing for three times, there is a lingering fragrance, which fully demonstrates the natural characteristics of mountain cloud tea and is listed as a treasure among green teas.
Product history: According to the "Complete Records of Tiantai Mountain", as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gaodao "Gexuan's tea garden has gone to Huading Mountain". In the Southern Dynasties, the eminent monk Chen Zhizhe lived in Huading and Tianfeng, abstained from drinking, sat in meditation, and drank tea while sleeping. His disciple Zhi Zang offered tea to treat the illness of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. Lu Yu, the "tea sage" of the Tang Dynasty, recorded in the "Tea Classic": "The people who gave birth to Chicheng are the same as She" and "the mountains of Shiqiao also produce tea, which has a clear and sweet taste and is not allowed to be produced in other counties." Tiantai Mountain Yunwu Tea spread eastward along with Buddhism. In 804 AD, the Japanese monk Saicho came to Tiantai Mountain to study with his teacher. When he returned home, he brought tea seeds and sowed them on Mount Hiei, which is known as the "Hiyoshi Tea Garden". During the Southern Song Dynasty, Rong Xi came to the mountain for the second time, and the cultivation and preparation methods of Yunwu tea, known as "Buddha's Heavenly Rain and Dew" and "Emperor's Garden Immortal Jelly", were once again spread eastward. Rong Xi wrote in "Tea and Health Care": "When you climb Tiantai Mountain, you can see the blue dragon on the stone bridge, worship the Arhat on the Taoist Peak, offer tea soup and feel the strange flowers in the cup." "Tea is an elixir for health and a wonderful way to prolong life." He actively promoted and promoted the plant. Tea and tea-drinking are known as the Luyu of Japan.
Product story: It is said that the picking and brewing of tea at that time was very strict. Here we will talk about the picking method and the magical scenery after making tea. It is five days before the Grain Rain in the lunar calendar and lasts for ten days. The pickers should choose pure girls under the age of 18 every morning. The picking method is: no. Bite the leaves with your mouth only, put the bitten leaves into a silk handkerchief, and then pour them into a brand new green silk bamboo basket. As soon as the sun rises, take them back to brew the Toujian Guyu tea. Special personnel were sent to the court to pay tribute to the eunuchs. The utensils used by the emperor and empress to brew Tiantai Yunwu tea were also specially made. These utensils were all made of gold cups and jade cups. When the emperor and the queen took off the tea lid and tasted it, a fragrant mist filled the golden cup and jade cup. In front of the emperor's eyes, two yellow dragons were surrounded by water on the inner wall of the golden cup and jade cup. When the tea was finished, the yellow dragons appeared. Flying around like this. Later, the emperor gave Tiantai Mountain Yunwu Tea as "tribute tea". I don't know whether this legend is true or not, but it is enough to show that Tiantai Yunwu Tea has a long history and the picking time and method are very unique. It can be recorded in the "Guinness Book of World Records". "Complete Collection of Tea".
