Why was Nannuoshan once the king of Pu 'er tea?
Before the old monitor became famous, Nannuo Mountain was the first signboard in Menghai. Even if the old class Zhang came from behind, Nannuo Mountain did not hide its kingly demeanor.

The name of Lao Banzhang lies in the price, in the business circle and in the fans of Lao Banzhang. The name Nannuo Mountain, in a broader and heavier historical time and space, is great, with academic value and specimen significance.

At least in Nanzhao period, the ancestors of Bulang nationality used this tea; Later, Bulang people moved away from Nannuo Mountain, and the tea mountain left behind was inherited by Hani people. According to the local Hani father-son naming system, it can be inferred that they have lived in Nannuo Mountain for 57 to 58 generations, at least 1 100 years.

Why is Nannuo Mountain once the king? Are you bragging?

No, a good cup of tea is initially determined by raw materials, and good raw materials are determined by their growing environment.

Mr. Zu of Bulang and Hani came to grow tea. According to the climate in mountainous areas, they skillfully arranged forests, tea, villages and fields, which fully showed the dependence between environment and resources, especially the mixed cropping of forests and tea.

Tea trees in ancient tea gardens all over the mountains are born in the forest and depend on each other. Generally, only about 0/00 plants of ancient tea trees, 5-8 plants of tall trees and 0/0 plants of small and medium-sized trees are preserved per mu, which has biodiversity.

Ancient tea trees rely on sparse tree crowns for shade and wind protection, increase the relative humidity of tea gardens, slow down the temperature change, and keep the tenderness of tea buds, which is helpful to improve the quality of tea, create a benign ecological environment, and prevent and suppress the spread and breeding of tea pests and diseases by relying on the mutual restriction of various organisms in the forest.

However, tea trees always rely on the dead leaves and living branches and leaves of the crown to cover the ground in three-dimensional and multi-level shading, which not only maintains soil and water, but also increases soil organic matter and improves soil fertility. At the same time, relying on the metabolism of roots to loosen the soil and continuously accumulate mineral nutrients, thus ensuring the continued survival and prolonging the life of tea trees in ancient tea gardens.

If tea trees are not mixed with forests, but cultivated in an open environment, it is inconceivable that tea trees can survive for thousands of years.

At the same time, ancient tea trees are mixed with forests, so tea protection must protect forests, so forests are also protected. Tea in the past has experienced changes from generation to generation, ups and downs. Without the shelter of the forest, the 10,000-mu ecological ancient tea garden in Nannuo Mountain could not survive to this day.

In Nannuo Mountain, where there are forests, there are tea gardens, clear springs and villages. Hani people have lived on forests and tea trees for generations. Men, women and children have been defending the precious resources of forests and tea trees, and forests and tea trees are also duty-bound, which have provided thousands of Hani people with eternal excellent ecological environment and material wealth for many years.

Nannuoshan tea garden is generally distributed on the hillside at an altitude of 1.350 meters. There are dark forest red soil, red soil and forest yellow soil in the soil. The soil layer is deep and acidic, with a pH value of 4.5-6.5 and extremely rich in organic matter. The humidity is high in the morning and evening, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. It belongs to the south subtropical monsoon rain forest climate and is the best environment for the growth and development of tea trees.

Nannuo Mountain is located in the watershed where Jinghong is hot and Menghai is cool, with abundant rainfall all the year round, with rainfall of 1.599ml and relative humidity of 80%. Due to the static wind and topographic inversion, as well as the climatic characteristics and transpiration of the multi-layer structure of subtropical rain forest, Nannuo Mountain is shrouded in clouds all the year round.

The famous villages in Nannuo Mountain are: Shitou Village, banpo village Village, Niangniang Village, Zhu Lin Village and Yakou Village. Among them, in Banpo Laozhai, there is an ancient tea tree that has been cultivated artificially for more than 800 years and verified by botanist Cai, and is known as the "king of ancient tea trees".

Nannuoshan tea is famous for its "high aroma, light bitterness and heavy sweetness". Its color is dark green, the workmanship is loose, the entrance is slightly bitter, the sweetness is good, the flower fragrance is high, the honey fragrance is delicate, soft and wild, the throat is fresh and comfortable, the throat rhyme is far-reaching and long, and the sweetness is exquisite.
