Huaguoshan Yunwu Tea
This tea comes from Huaguoshan in Lianyungang, Jiangsu. While many know that Huaguoshan is the home of the Monkey King, few are aware of the Yunwu tea produced there.
Huaguoshan Yunwu Tea is a traditional famous tea with a long history, dating back to the Song Dynasty, and was once considered a tribute tea.
The tea trees grow in high mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, giving rise to its name. This unique natural environment contributes to the exceptional quality of Huaguoshan Yunwu Tea.
Characteristics:
The dry tea leaves are green and lustrous, with prominent white tips, and the leaves are delicate and beautiful. When brewed, the tea soup is a tender yellow, bright and clear, with a high, lasting fragrance and a rich, refreshing taste. The leaves unfold gracefully, exhibiting good elasticity.
This tea was once known as one of the three famous teas of Jiangsu, along with Suzhou’s Biluochun and Nanjing’s Yuhua Tea, indicating its high quality.
Xianwu Fengming
Produced in Yibin, known as the “Home of Early Tea,” this high-mountain black tea has a tea-making history spanning thousands of years and is one of the earliest tea-growing regions in China.
Yunlian Black Tea gets its name from the Junlian mountainous area where the tea trees grow. In ancient times, this tea was called “Huangya Tea” and was highly regarded, often being considered a tribute tea.
The raw materials for this tea come from high mountains and are crafted using techniques recognized as national intangible cultural heritage, resulting in excellent quality protected by national geographical indications. Despite its remarkable origins, it is affordable and loved by the general public.
The tea garden is located at an elevation of over a thousand meters, where the low temperatures slow down the growth of tea trees, allowing them to accumulate a wealth of nutrients, which enhances the tea’s quality and provides a rich taste.
Furthermore, the high-altitude environment inhibits the growth of pests, eliminating the need for pesticides and ensuring that it is healthy and safe to drink.
