The development of history
The predecessor of Oolong Tea-Beiyuan Tea
Oolong tea originated in Fujian with a history of 1000 years. The formation and development of oolong tea should first be traced back to Beiyuan tea. Beiyuan tea is the earliest tribute tea in Fujian and the most famous tea after the Song Dynasty. There are more than ten kinds of books on the production and boiling of Beiyuan tea in history. Beiyuan is located in the Phoenix Mountain area of Jian 'ou, Fujian Province, where tea was produced in the late Tang Dynasty.
According to Min Tong Zhi, Zhang Tinghui, a Jian 'an man in the late Tang Dynasty, planted tea in Fenghuang Mountain. At first, it was tea. In the second year of Song Taizong Taiping Xingguo (977), Longfeng Tea came out. After Song Zhenzong (998), it was transformed into a small group tea and became the world-famous Dragon Group Phoenix Cake. At that time, Cai Xiang, a transshipment officer and producer of tribute tea in Fujian, especially praised Beiyuan tea. He wrote 105 1? The taste of tea is mainly sweet and smooth, but the products baked continuously by Phoenix Mountain in Beiyuan are delicious. ? The important finished product of Beiyuan tea belongs to Longtuanfeng cake, and its processing technology is as stated in the tea-picking poem given to Lu Yu by Huang Furan. Away from the cliff, the cloth leaves are warm in spring, and the surplus basket is inclined during the day. ? It takes a day to harvest a basket of fresh leaves. The leaves are shaken in the basket and steamed at night. This backlog of raw materials will turn red unintentionally, and the part of the bud leaves after enzymatic oxidation will turn purple or brown, which is essentially semi-fermented, that is, the so-called oolong tea category. Therefore, there is a scientific basis for saying that Beiyuan tea is the predecessor of oolong tea.
After Beiyuan Tea, Chaze in Wuyishan gained the status of tribute tea in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and developed. Oolong tea is a kind of tea made by Anxi people imitating Wuyishan tea-making method and improving the technology. Oolong tea was created around 1725 (Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty). Records of Anxi County, Fujian Province:?
