As early as the sixth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (6 18), monks built Shitang Temple in Wo Yun, Wuyishan. The tea cave behind the temple is the earliest tea garden. From fuhuyan to simaquan, the tea cave covers an area of 10 mu and is rich in famous tea. There are teas in the 36 peaks, 99 rocks and Fengfeng Temple Rock in Wuyishan. As the saying goes, there is a temple that produces tea, and you can't meditate without tea. The "hometown of Ganhou" carved on the stone wall of Kowloon Wo can still be seen today.
This was the proper name of Wuyishan Temple Tea at that time, and it was also the earliest good name of Wuyi Rock Tea. Through the gifts from local officials to court officials, temple tea went out of the mountain temple and became the best drink for court officials. Wuyi rock tea culture has a profound relationship with Buddhism; Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "tea and Buddha depend on each other". Throughout the ages, Buddhists have been drinking tea in Buddhist temples, and there will be Buddhist tea in Buddhist temples. Wuyi rock tea is one of the main Buddha teas, and it can be said that it is the ancestor of Buddha tea. As a material spirit and traditional cultural phenomenon, it embodies the spirit of Zen.
