On April 16, in the long-awaited eyes of Huang Shanren, an unparalleled and precious tea sample slowly entered Chen Lie's room of Zhuangyuan Pavilion in Xiuning County, surrounded by crowds. This tea sample is very light, but it seems so heavy at the moment because of her extraordinary journey-"Songluo Tea", which has been sleeping at the bottom of the sea for more than two centuries with the sinking of the Swedish Gothenburg, finally returned to her hometown! In A.D. 1745, on the famous Maritime Silk Road in the history of Sino-Western trade, the large merchant ship "Gothenburg No.1" from Europe and Sweden, full of China commodities such as tea, silk and prizes, ran aground and sank at the last moment when it was about to reach the shore of its hometown. The prosperity of the East, the treasure full of ships, and the legendary voyage, all of which are buried deep under the sea with the huge "Gothenburg", leaving the world with infinite mysteries. 1987, the sunken ship "Gothenburg" buried for more than two centuries was salvaged by new technology. People are surprised to find that some of the 370 tons of tea in the cabin have not been oxidized, some are still drinkable, and even have a faint tea fragrance. Faced with media interviews and people's curiosity, Wang Jianrong, director of China Tea Museum, told reporters: "According to historical records, this is Luosong tea in Xiuning, Anhui Province, which belongs to green tea." Subsequently, a tea sample donated by former Vice Premier Tian Jiyun of the State Council during his visit to Sweden and a tea sample donated by the Swedish Embassy in Shanghai were fortunately preserved by the China Tea Museum. For more than ten years, two precious tea samples of the sunken ship "Gothenburg" have been hidden in the warehouse of China Tea Museum and have never been publicly displayed. After many efforts, after leaving home for 263 years, this "pineapple tea" has returned to the embrace of home with historical memories and vicissitudes, with new joy and feelings. Pineapple tea is produced in Luosong and belongs to Fusi Village, Wan 'an Town, Xiuning County. The Ming Dynasty is the era of the rise of loose tea in China, among which Songluocha is an outstanding representative, famous and extraordinary. By the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, the export volume of Huizhou tea represented by tea had accounted for 90% of China's tea export volume, which played an important role in the history of tea export in China. Zhou Yueyun, secretary-general and deputy director of China Tea Museum, said that there were 370 tons of tea and more than 2,000 tea boxes on the sunken ship "Gothenburg" which sank for 239 years. It is a miracle that tin cans can be salvaged after more than 200 years because they are tightly packed and have not been spoiled by flooding. History once again proved the glory of Huizhou tea and the developed tea packaging technology in southern Anhui at that time. The "pine tea" on the sunken ship of Gothenburg is a powerful proof of the great influence of Huizhou tea in the world at that time! Although the tea sample of the sunken ship "Gothenburg" in the showroom has faded from its original green color, it quietly exudes a strange brilliance in the attention of the people in her hometown.
