There is a beautiful legend about the origin of Guteng tea. Wuyishan, a fairyland on earth, has not only the beautiful Jiuqu River and Chongyang River, but also many magical and beautiful trees, attracting Longxiang and Fengqi. Once, the dragon lying in the nest in Kowloon guarding Dahongpao was awakened by a sudden flying phoenix, and the tired phoenix lived on a Dahongpao tea tree in the nest in Kowloon. Phoenix said: "I flew from the Bajiao Pavilion in the east of Wuyi Mountain, where there are tall buttonwood trees, which is my dream residence." According to the fairy, there are several kinds of magical teas in Kowloon that ordinary people can't enjoy. "Brother Long told Phoenix:" This tea tree is our lifeblood, and our nine brothers have been together. It is the god tea enjoyed by the emperor. "Phoenix thought that the brook where I grew up under the sycamore tree in Bajiaoting was also suitable for growing tea, so she insisted that Brother Long give her the tea seedlings in Kowloon nest. While giving away the tea seedlings, Brother Long tore off a few strands of dragon whiskers from the corners of his mouth and said, "Sister Feng, when you plant the tea seedlings, you should plant the dragon whiskers together. Then look for the appearance of Christina the Great, and your tea seedlings will come alive! "There was a severe drought when planting tea, but due to the summoning rain of Christina the Great, tea seedlings in Kowloon were planted on sandy loam. When spring tea was picked in the garden, Fenghuang became a beautiful tea-picking village girl in Bajiaoting Tea Garden. On the night of spring tea picking, Phoenix remembered the asparagus tea that Longge gave her, and named it "Guteng Tea". Later, local officials presented Gu Teng tea from Bajiaoting as imperial tea for the emperor to taste. The emperor was very happy to hear that the name of tea contained the word "dragon beard", so he named it "Xianshan Temple". For hundreds of years, the name of Bajiaoting Gu Teng Tea has been called. The legend of Gu Teng tea in Bajiaoting is full of magical meanings, but Gu Teng tea is more famous for its unique production technology.

Gu Teng tea is also the temple tea of the Fairy Mountain Temple in Bajiaoting, so whenever Gu Teng tea is made in the tea period temple, monks and nuns are the main helpers in picking tea and making tea.

Because Gu Teng tea pays attention to modeling and has a unique craft, it is a delicate and skillful craft, which is mostly completed by chanting scriptures in Xianshan Temple and using fasting nuns. They carefully arranged and tied them into bundles, and completed the key process of Gu Teng tea modeling. People think that the dragon-bearded phoenix tail is like a pair of elder brother Jiulong and phoenix girl in Bajiaoting, so two bundles of tea leaves are tied into a bundle and tied tightly with another colored silk thread. The tea leaves in production are slightly scattered, just like phoenix tails. So each bunch of tea has the shape of a "dragon beard and phoenix tail". Nowadays, tea farmers in Bajiaoting, Wuyishan still follow the ancient processing system of Gu Teng tea, and Gu Teng tea in Bajiaoting has ushered in vitality, which will be as fragrant as Wuyi rock tea.
