According to "Song Shi Huo Zhi"; "Haizhou is the place to buy tea." Tea monopoly is a measure of taxation, control and exclusive acquisition of tea by successive governments. In the second year of Song Jingde (1005), the imperial court issued a taxation edict to tea merchants selling Haizhou tea. Because "Haizhou tea is good and easy to sell, and the money invested is thicker than other States." According to the Records of the Golden History, four years (Zhang Zong Cheng 'an Year, AD 1 199) in March, new tea was made in Zi, Mi, Ning, Hai and Maozhou. According to the example of the south, each catty is a bag, which is worth 600 articles. 192 1 year, the Yunwu tea produced by Yi Shu Company won the Nanyang Association Quality Excellence Award. At present, there are 300 mu of tea fields planted in Sucheng, the origin of Yunwu tea, with an annual output of 200 tons. Yuntai Mountain is close to the Yellow Sea, with a warm and humid climate. Often in the end, the clouds break up and the sea fog rises again. "Wuyun has good tea." Green tea trees are often shrouded in Wuyun Mountain. Low temperature, small temperature difference, high humidity and tender buds and leaves. When baking, we should control the temperature of the pot, and grasp, bake, rub and turn it all by hand. The tea is uniform in size, rope-shaped, shaped like a thin eyebrow, harmless to bees, green in color, pure and lovely.
Wu Yun, Yuhua and Biluochun are three famous teas in Jiangsu. As can be seen from the above table, the amino nitrogen content of Wuyun tea is less than that of Biluojuan and Yuhua tea, while the content of catechin and caffeine is the highest, which is an important factor to form a fresh taste.
Wu Yun Tea's tea tasting method is also very unique. When making tea, it is best to pour half a cup of boiling water first, and control the temperature between 80℃ and 90℃. Without the lid, the tea leaves stretch like scissors, like new leaves. After a while, add water twice, and in the clear yellow-green tea soup, there seem to be clusters of camellia, and the yin is moving. The taste is mellow, fragrant and refreshing. Every time you refill the water, don't wait until the water is dry, but refill the water when there is a quarter of water left in the cup, so that it will be very mellow even after repeated brewing.
1980, Lianyungang Wu Yun, Nanjing Yuhua Tea, Suzhou Biluochun and Wuxi Er Quan Yin Hao were listed as the four famous teas in Jiangsu. According to laboratory tests, the content of theophylline, tea tannin and vitamins in Wuyun tea is high, and it has the functions of excitement, heart strengthening, clearing away fire, convergence, diuresis, anti-inflammatory and sterilization. Moderate drinking can restore mental fatigue, improve memory, refresh people, and help treat abdominal distension and indigestion. Raw tea can be preserved for more than ten years by rubbing and drying in the sun, and the longer the age, the better the curative effect. In recent years, Wuyun Tea in Lianyungang reappeared in the Canton Fair, which was warmly welcomed and appreciated by Japan, Singapore and some European and American countries.

Name: Lushan Yunwu Tea (formerly known as "Wen Lin Tea")
Origin: Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi, China.
brief introduction
"Lushan Cloud" is the name of a green tea, which is produced in Lushan Mountain.
Lushan Mountain, located in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, China, is surrounded by clouds and gurgling springs. More than 180 days are foggy every year. This cloud landscape not only casts a mysterious veil on Lushan Mountain, but also provides good conditions for the growth of tea trees. "Lushan Yunwu" tea is also named after this natural phenomenon.
There are two major producing areas of Wuyun tea in Lushan Mountain, one is the tea garden at the top of Lushan Mountain, and the other is the relatively large producing area of Wuyun tea in Maweishui tourism ecological scenic spot halfway up Lushan Mountain. (Because of the spread of Mazu culture in the scenic spot, it is also called Mazu Yunwu Tea. )
Lushan Mountain has a long history of growing tea. According to the records of Lushan Mountain, Buddhism was just introduced to China in the Eastern Han Dynasty 1800 years ago. At that time, there were more than 300 Van Gogh temples in Lushan Mountain, and monks at that time had already started to grow tea in Lushan Mountain.
This is a place called Kangwang Valley under Hanyang Peak in Lushan Mountain. According to legend, more than 65,438+0,000 years ago, in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu, a man from Xijiang River who was revered as Cha Sheng by later generations, came here. He used the spring water here to make tea soup, and found that the tea cooked here was delicious. Later generations saw his record in the Book of Tea, and Lu Yu commented on the world's twenty waters. He thinks that the spring water in Kangwang Valley of Lushan Mountain is the first.
Good water produces good tea, and good tea is mostly in the environment with high altitude, large temperature difference and humid air. Although Lushan Mountain is located in the south of the Yangtze River, due to its high altitude, rime often occurs in winter. The change of seasonal temperature difference and strong ultraviolet radiation are just beneficial to the synthesis of aromatic substances in tea trees, thus laying the internal cause of producing good tea in high mountains. Therefore, "Lushan Wu Yun" tea has fat buds and contains more tannins, aromatic oils and multivitamins. Lushan Wuyun tea not only has a unique flavor, but also has the functions of calming the nerves, stopping diarrhea, helping digestion, sterilizing and detoxifying, preventing gastrointestinal infection, and increasing anti-scurvy. , and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad.
The picking of "Lushan Wu Yun" tea begins around Tomb-Sweeping Day every year. In particular, the "tea before tomorrow" collected before Qingming is the most precious. At this time, the earth has just warmed up and the tea buds are very tender. Liao Yu's "Lushan Tea Picking Ballad" recorded the situation of tea picking before the Ming Dynasty: "Tea picking is early all year round, but late this year. The cold wind blew in April, and the roots of the stone garden were frozen, which protected the fragrance a little ... ". The picked buds must be treated on the same day and go through many processing procedures such as braking, shaking, twisting, carding and drying. Tea farmers need more than100000 fresh buds to process one kilogram of tea.
The processed "Lushan Cloud" has buds and leaves, and the color is green. The brewed tea soup contains a large amount of tea polyphenols and extracts, with rich fragrance and long duration.
Tea and water are inseparable. Lu Yu classified the water content of tea as third class. He wrote in the Book of Tea: "Its water uses mountains and rivers.". However, the quality of Lushan tea may be due to the natural environment and spring water in Lushan Mountain. The water in Kangwang Valley under Hanyang Peak is famous for its good tea in Lushan Mountain.
Lushan Wuyun tea is fragrant and refreshing, with endless aftertaste, sweet and delicious, and has always been regarded as a treasure by drinkers. It is one of the top ten famous teas in China. It was first born in the Han Dynasty and has been planted for more than 1000 years. It was listed as "tribute tea" in the Song Dynasty.
Lushan Yunwu tea has a long-standing reputation for its mellow taste, bright color, rich aroma and clear soup color. Sell well at home and abroad. If you taste it carefully, its color is like Tuocha, but it is lighter than Tuocha, just like jasper in a bowl. Its taste is similar to "Longjing", but it is more mellow than Longjing. If you use the mountain spring of Lushan Mountain to make tea and bake tea, it will be more mellow and delicious.
The unique flavor of Wuyun tea, influenced by the cool and foggy climate of Lushan Mountain and the short direct sunlight time, has the characteristics of thick leaves, rich sweetness and foam resistance, and contains more tannins, aromatic oils and vitamins. It is not only rich and fragrant, but also helps digestion, sterilization and detoxification, and has the functions of preventing gastrointestinal infection and increasing anti-scurvy. -Comrade Zhu De said in a poem: "Lushan Wuyun tea tastes strong and pungent. Long-term drinking can prolong life. "
