1385, in the eighteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Ding Xian went to Beijing to take the exam. When passing Wuyi Mountain, he suddenly fell ill and his abdominal pain was unbearable. He happened to meet a monk in Tianxin Yongle Temple, and the monk took Dahongpao tea to drink with him. The disease stopped. After winning the first prize, he came to thank the monk and took Dahongpao back to Beijing with a tin can. After the champion returned to Korea, it happened that the queen was ill and all the doctors failed, so he took out the pot of tea and presented it. The queen was healthy after drinking, and the emperor was overjoyed. He gave the champion a red robe and told him to go to Kowloon and put it on a tea tree to show his kindness. At the same time, he sent someone to take care of it, and all the tea leaves were stored and not allowed to hide. Since then, Wuyi Rock Tea Dahongpao has become the exclusive tribute tea of the royal family. Legend has it that every year, officials sent by the imperial court put on Dahongpao, took off their robes and hung them on tribute tea trees, so they were called Dahongpao. A more widespread saying is that when picking tea, you should burn incense to worship heaven, and then let the monkeys put on red vests and climb to the cliff above the tea trees to pick tea. Therefore, Guangdong people call this monkey-picking tea "horse-picking tea" (Guangdong people call monkeys "horse-picking tea"). It is precisely because of scarcity and difficulty in picking that this kind of tea is a precious treasure in the market.

Edit this tea introduction.

Wuyi rock tea is produced in Wuyi Mountain, a famous mountain in the southeast of Meijingjia in northern Fujian. Tea trees grow in cracks in rocks. Wuyi Rock Tea has the fragrance of green tea and the sweetness of black tea, which is the best in China Oolong Tea. Its founding date is recorded in the textbook Tea Making Law of Ming and Qing Dynasties compiled by agricultural colleges all over the country.

Dahongpao Tea (20 tablets): Wuyi Rock Tea has a long history. According to historical records, tea was planted in the Tang Dynasty and was used as a gift by the people. The Song Dynasty was listed as a royal tribute, and the Yuan Dynasty also set up a "Baking Bureau" and a "Imperial Tea Garden" in Wuyishan to collect tribute tea. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, oolong tea trees planted in Wuyishan were created, with a wide variety, including Dahongpao, Luohan, Baijiguan, Shuijinggui and so on. They were also named after the growing environment of tea trees, such as invisible paradise and golden key. Named after the shapes of tea trees, such as drunken begonia, drunken Dong Bin, scarab, phoenix fern, jade unicorn, a fragrant branch, etc. Named after the shape of tea, such as melon seeds, money, bamboo, golden wicker, willow, etc. Named after the early and late germination of tea trees, such as spring willow and spring; Named after tea flavor, such as cinnamon, stone frankincense, white musk, etc. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it began to be exported to Western Europe, North America and Southeast Asia. At that time, Europeans used to call it Wuyi tea, as the floorboard of China tea. Wuyi rock tea is famous at home and abroad, which is inseparable from the excellent natural environment. Wuyi Mountain is located at 27 35'-27 43' north latitude and117 55'-1'east longitude. The altitude of Fiona Fang is 120, with an average altitude of more than 650 meters. Surrounded by valleys, not connected with the outer mountains, it is composed of 36 peaks, 99 rocks and Jiuqu River, which is self-contained. Rock peaks stand tall and colorful, and the peaks are continuous. Looking eastward, Malik gallops and becomes a spectacle. The crystal clear Jiuqu River wanders among them, turning into Jiuqu 18 Bay. The mountain turns to the stream, which is really like "winding mountain turns, and the peak water holds the current". And along the stream bank, the reflections of the peaks are in the blue waves, and the mountains and rivers complement each other. It is really a fairyland on earth. The predecessor's title "Wuyishan Mountain has wonderful landscapes, 36 peaks winding, and nine streams flowing with clear clouds" summarizes the outline of Wuyishan Mountain. Famous mountains and rivers and scenic spots have cultivated the natural aura of rock tea.

Edit the origin of this tea

Wuyi rock tea has a long history, and Dahongpao is the best in Wuyi rock tea. It is said that it had a name in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the name was 192 1 year.

[2] Shu Nan's travel notes mentioned several places in Wuyishan, such as Tianxinyan Jiulongke (that is, there is now a place with the words "Cliff Stone Carving Dahongpao", which was engraved in Tianxin Temple in 1927), Tianyou Rock and Julian Cave (also called Shuiqian Cave), but unfortunately these travel notes and investigations have not been explained. 194 1 year, it was mentioned in Lin Fuquan's "Production and Marketing of Wuyi Rock Tea" that there was a Dahongpao in Shile Pantuo in Matouyan, but the whole process of Dahongpao was recorded by three Dahongpao plants in Kowloon. During the period of 1958, when Chen Dehua was in Changle No.1 Middle School, Fujian Province, he saw three sets of Dahongpao painted by Chen Li, the school's art teacher, when he was transferred to Wuyishan to sketch. 1962, Chunzhong Tea Institute cut branches of Dahongpao from Wuyishan and brought them back to Hangzhou for cutting and planting, and three Dahongpao plants were also planted in Jiulongna. 1964 In the spring, when Xie and others from Fujian Tea Research Institute came to Wuyishan, they also went to Jiulong Caotang accompanied by them, cut off three branches of Dahongpao and took them back to Shekou, Fu 'an. From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, Chen Dehua presided over the excavation, sorting, breeding and promotion of Wuyi famous cluster, and made a village-by-village survey of Tianxin Brigade (accompanied by the team leader) in the rock tea producing area at that time, and learned a lot about state-owned farms and related predecessors and tea people. Among them, Juda Rock and Julian Cave (or Shuilian Cave) were not nominated as Dahongpao tea trees. Judging from the four famous tea trees in Wuyishan, Dahongpao, Shuijinggui, Baijiguan and Tieluohan have their own characteristics. Guihua tea tree in Shuijing grows along the road, and Baijiguan tea tree itself is unique, and its tender leaves are pale yellow for about 50 days. Iron arhats grow in ghost caves, with trees as high as 3.3 meters, while Dahongpao grows halfway up the cliff in Kowloon. It is said that in 1927, the monk of Tianxin Temple carved the word "Dahongpao" next to the tea tree. At that time, this tea tree was engraved with a name in Wuyishan. It is said that in order to get the original Dahongpao, a powerful person built a hut not far from Dahongpao tea tree and lived in it to take care of it. Not only books, not only books, but also facts. Many rumors can't prove that there are other Dahongpao besides several Dahongpao on the hillside in Kowloon. In fact, at present, Wuyi tea area has not heard of the existence of different varieties of Dahongpao. Judging from the quality verification, Dahongpao is worthy of being the king of tea. Fujian Tea Research Institute screened and identified the quality of many famous clusters in Wuyishan, and finally recommended Dahongpao. In recent years, the quality of newly harvested Dahongpao tea in Wuyi tea area mostly reflects the excellent germplasm characteristics of this tea, especially in the rainy weather during the spring tea in 2005. Most tea farmers who planted Dahongpao recognized its quality. One of the experts, the tea man who made Minnan oolong tea, marveled at the excellent quality of Dahongpao after the first collection.
