What kind of tea is Putuo Buddha tea?
Pu 'er Buddha tea has a long history, and Zen tea has a very long history. As early as the Tang Dynasty, there was Zen tea, and Buddhism flourished in the Tang Dynasty in China. We can learn a thing or two from the story of Tang Sanzang's Buddhist Journey to the West. There were many monks in the Tang Dynasty, and the custom of growing tea and drinking tea by monks gradually formed a trend. As one of the important shrines of Buddhism, it is not surprising that Zen tea originated here. By the Qing Dynasty, the Buddhist culture of Putuo Mountain had developed and strengthened, and more and more people came to Putuo Mountain to worship Buddha, which greatly affected the development of ordinary Buddhist tea.

Putuo Buddha tea has excellent quality and became tribute tea as early as the Qing Dynasty. Putuo Buddha tea looks like a snail rather than a snail, and looks like an eyebrow rather than an eyebrow. It is green in color, rich in aroma, fresh in soup color and leaves, and sweet and refreshing in taste. Picking originated from "around Tomb-Sweeping Day" every year. Strict requirements, must be "uniform, neat, clean and tender", exquisite production technology. The appearance of tea leaves is slender and compact, and the tea soup after brewing is bright yellow-green, and the soup color is bright and bright. But the tea leaves spread out, blossomed neatly, with high and lasting aroma and mellow taste. Therefore, when drinking Putuo Buddha tea, it not only gives people a feeling like a saint, but also makes people sigh after drinking it. "The skin is slightly sweaty and the bones are cold in June."

The excellent quality of Putuo Buddha tea benefits from the excellent tea growing environment in Foding Mountain, which belongs to temperate maritime climate. The climate here is warm in winter and cool in summer, with wet seasons, fertile land and lush trees. Tea trees are mostly distributed in the sunny side of Foding Mountain and the shelter zone of mountainous depressions. Foding Mountain provides a unique natural environment for the growth of tea trees, so Putuo Focha won the second prize of Panama International Expo in 19 15.
