The only road along Xinxikou Township has come to an end, which is our village-Yulin Village. As the last village without access to expressway, Anhui Province is surrounded by high mountains and has pleasant original ecological scenery. It turns out that the deep forest-like tea mountain has made Mao Feng fertile soil.
This year is a warm winter, but the mining time in Mao Feng is very late, which is almost equivalent to the chilly spring year many years ago. Family members say that the main reason is that there is little rain in arid mountainous areas and the growth of tea is slow. Fortunately, this year's tea performance is good, the previous tea is the smallest than in recent years, and the taste is mellow.
Huangshan Mao Feng is one of the top ten famous teas in China and belongs to green tea. Produced in Huangshan (Huizhou) area of Anhui Province, it is also called Huizhou tea. The teahouse was founded by Xie in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. Every year during the Qingming Festival in Grain Rain, selected "Huangshan species", "Huangshan big leaf species" and other fine tea buds are full and tender, and fried by hand. Tea leaves are slightly curly in appearance, shaped like a sparrow tongue, silvery in yellow and green, and have golden fish leaves (commonly known as golden slices). The cup bubble makes the fog top, the soup is light and yellow, the leaves are yellow and green, the taste is mellow and sweet, the aroma is green and the charm is long. Because the newly-made tea is covered with white hair, with sharp buds and fresh leaves collected from the peak of Huangshan Mountain, it is named Huangshan Mao Feng.
Huangshan tea can be traced back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty 1200 years ago. Zhou She was founded during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty, Song Huizong Xuanhe was renamed Huizhou for three years. Huizhou Road, formerly known as Xing 'an House in the early Ming Dynasty, was later changed to Huizhou House in the late Qing Dynasty. Huangshan originally belonged to Zhangzhou and later to Huizhou. According to China Famous Tea Records, it is quoted from Huizhou Fuzhi: "Tea production in Huangshan started in Song Jiayou and flourished in Qin Long in Ming Dynasty". It also said: "Famous tea in Ming Dynasty: ... Huang Shanyun: produced in Huangshan, Huizhou." In the book "Eating Tea for Health" written by Japanese Zen master Rong, it is said: "Huangshan tea is also a wonderful way to preserve health and prolong life." The legend of tea in China Tea Classic: "Zheng Zhi monks and tea". This shows that Huangshan tea was very famous in Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Huangshan tea not only greatly improved its production technology, but also increased its varieties. At this time, Huangshan tea is unique and famous, and the embryonic form of Huangshan Mao Feng tea has basically taken shape.
According to the Huizhou local chronicles published in the 15th year of Hongzhi (1502), "In recent years, the people who are famous for tea are Que Tongue, Lotus Heart and Golden Bud, followed by Xiabai, Lin Zou, Luo Gong, and then opening a garden, being soft and big, with different names." This shape is known as "sparrow tongue" and its color is known as "golden bud", which is very similar to "the shape of sparrow tongue, yellow as ivory" in Huangshan Mao Feng. The source of Huangshan Mountain is 500 miles away from Xiazi Peak, the first peak of Huangshan Mountain. In the article "Luo Song in Xiuzhi" in China Tea Classic, according to Shexian Annals, "It is recorded in the old annals that in Jiangqing Room (1567- 1572), a monk generously lived in Xiuzhi Luosongshan, and the dharma was carefully fried, so counties and cities learned its dharma. For example, Xiazishan Camellia in Shexian was also called "top grade" at that time, also known as pineapple tea. Shexian Beiyuan Tea, adjacent to Luo Song, is also called Beiyuan Luo Song, hence the name. "Tribute of Huizhou Prefecture" records: "The products of our company are uncertain and uncertain." Ink stone and ink are the most important, while Beiyuan tea and Xiazi tea are others. It shows that Beiyuan tea produced in Huangshan and Xiazi tea produced in Zixia Mountain were also famous at that time. [ 1]
