1, the legend of oolong tea: According to legend, oolong tea originated in Anxi County, Fujian Province. Legend has it that a long time ago, in the deep mountains of Anxi, there lived a hunter named Hu Liang. One day, he came to a mountain with clusters of small dark green trees and lush foliage, so he picked one and put it in a basket to cover his prey. He climbed the mountain and crossed the ridge until the sun went down. When I got home, I made a fire and water, and the mountain wind blew, and suddenly I smelled a fragrance. Then when I cleaned up the prey, I found that the fragrance came from the leaves in the basket. Hu Liang tried to pick a few leaves, brew them with boiling water and drink them into his mouth. Not only is he mellow, but he also feels that his breath is full of saliva and his irritability is gone. Hu Liang thinks it must be a fairy tree. I immediately got up and went back to the mountains to collect a large bundle of branches and leaves, but the leaves became bitter and astringent when soaked in water. Hu Liang thought for a long time, why the branches and leaves collected from the same tree taste different? After careful consideration, I understand a truth. The original branches and leaves withered for a long time, producing a fragrance, so I decided to explore the method of processing and making fragrant tea. After repeated trial production, we finally found a method of drying, kneading and frying the collected tea leaves into fragrant tea. After the successful production of fragrant tea, it spread all over the country, and Hu Liang's name was widely known. According to Anxi dialect, "Hu Liang" is similar to "Oolong". Later, people called the famous tea produced here "Oolong Tea", which is famous at home and abroad.

2. The legend of jasmine: A long time ago, Chen Guqiu, a Beijing tea merchant, studied with a tea tasting master what kind of tea northerners like to drink. Chen Guqiu suddenly remembered that a southern girl gave him a packet of tea that he had never tasted, so he found it and let the master have a taste. When brewing, as soon as the bowl cover is opened, there is a strange smell. Then, in the rising heat wave, I saw a beautiful girl holding a bunch of jasmine in her hands, and soon it turned into a hot air. Chen Jiaqiu was puzzled and asked the master. The master said, "This tea is the best in tea". Chen Guqiu remembered the experience of buying tea and staying in an inn in the south three years ago and meeting an orphan girl. The girl complained that her father's body was parked at home and there was no money for the funeral. Chen Jiaqiu showed deep sympathy and gave her some money. Three years later, when he went to the south again this spring, the innkeeper handed him this packet of tea, saying that it was given by the girl three years ago. It wasn't brewed at that time, but it was a treasure. "Why is she holding Molly alone?" The two men brewed again, and the girl with jasmine in her hand appeared again. While sipping tea, Chen Gulai realized, "In my opinion, this is tea fairy's suggestion that jasmine can be used in tea." The following year, jasmine was added to tea, and there was a new jasmine tea (one of the top ten famous teas).

3. Legend of Longjing Tea: It is said that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou to watch rural women picking tea to show their love. On this day, Emperor Qianlong saw several country girls picking tea at more than a dozen shady tea tables. He was very happy and learned to pick tea. Just picked one, suddenly the eunuch came to report: "The Queen Mother is ill, please return to Beijing as soon as possible." When Emperor Qianlong heard that the Empress Dowager was ill, he put a handful of tea leaves in a bag and returned to Beijing day and night. In fact, the Queen Mother was not seriously ill because she ate too many delicacies. At that time, she got angry, her eyes were red and swollen, and her stomach was upset. At this time, when I saw the arrival of the prince, I felt a faint fragrance and asked what good things I had brought. The emperor was also surprised. Where does the fragrance come from? He touched it casually. Ah, it turned out to be a handful of tea from Shifeng Mountain in Hangzhou. After a few days, it was dry and the rich aroma came out. The queen mother wants to taste this tea. The maid-in-waiting made tea and sent it to the queen mother. Sure enough, the smell is fragrant. The queen mother took a sip and her eyes felt much more comfortable. After drinking tea, the redness disappeared and her stomach did not swell. The queen mother said happily, "Hangzhou Longjing tea is really a panacea." Emperor Qianlong was so happy to see the Empress Dowager, and immediately ordered the eighteen tea trees in front of Gong Hu Temple under Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou to be named imperial tea, and the new tea was picked every year to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. Up to now, these eighteen kinds of imperial teas are still preserved in front of Gong Hu Temple in Longjing Village, Hangzhou, and many tourists from Hangzhou come to visit and take photos as a souvenir.
