There are large-leaved and small- and medium-leaved tea trees in the Yibang tea area. According to the examination and approval of relevant experts, the quality of small and medium-leaf species in Yibang tea area is not only better than that of local large-leaf species, but also better than that of small- and medium-leaf species in other provinces. The small leaf species is known for its special fragrance type, the palate is sweet and slightly honeyy, slightly bitter, and the middle and back of the tongue are bitter and sweet.
Yibang Pu'er tea has a unique small-leaf species.
One of the major characteristics of Pu'er tea that distinguishes it from other types of tea is that its raw materials are made of Yunnan large-leaf tea, and the quality of the sun-dried green tea made from the small and medium-sized leaf varieties of Yibang is not inferior to the Pu'er tea made by the traditional large-leaf species, which leaves two major public cases
First, is Yibang tea Pu'er tea?
The second is where does the Yibang small-leaved species come from?
Regardless of how modern people define Pu'er tea, Yibang tea in history is the representative of Pu'er tea, and it is a kind of Pu'er tribute tea. The difference in the modern definition lies in the difference between the large and small leaf species, but through tasting, we clearly feel that the quality of the small and medium-leaf tea in Yibang is completely different from the small-leaf tea in the mainland, and according to the approval of relevant experts, the quality of the small and medium-leaf varieties in the Yibang tea area is not only better than the local large-leaf species, but also better than the small- and medium-leaf varieties in other provinces. If it weren't for this, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would not have been reluctant to seek the near and far, and would have named him to drink the tribute tea thousands of miles away.
Tea is a drink, drinking it in the mouth only counts, it seems that the outstanding quality of Yibang tea proves: it is not that Yibang tea is too different, but that the definition of Pu'er tea is not rigorous.
As for the origin of the Ebony microphylla species, there are two views:
One theory is that tea farmers in Sichuan or Jiangxi brought tea seeds to grow during the Ming and Qing dynasties, while the other theory is that Yibang small-leaf tea also belongs to the large-leaf series, because of its characteristic geographical environment and climate and soil, it has mutated, forming the shape of the small leaves commonly known as cat ears that we see today. Neither theory is currently unverifiable and remains a mystery to be solved.
Of course, there are also large-leaf tea trees in the Yibang tea area, to be precise, large-leaf varieties and small- and medium-leaf tea trees are mixed. There are still small-scale ancient tea gardens in Mangong, Yibang, Ma Lishu and other places, among which there are many ancient trees with small and medium-sized leaves. The famous Mansong tea area has a small stock of ancient trees because of the destruction.
Main villages: Yibang, Mansong, Zhanggang, Jiabu, Mangong, etc.
Characteristics of Yibang small-leaved Pu'er tea.
Introduction to the characteristics of Pu'er tea of Yibang tea mountain, the characteristics of Yibang tea are: Yibang is mainly a small-leaf species, the bud head is smaller, the cord is short and thin, the soup color is yellow-green, the leaf bottom is yellow-green, bitter and light, bitter with sweet, astringent in bitter, and the soup quality is full;The sweet return is fast and long-lasting, the aroma is obvious, because it grows in the mountains, the environment is good, the mountains and fields rhyme is good, and the bottom of the cup is fragrant.
Yibang small-leaf tea seed test: How is small-leaf tea formed?
Talking about the origin of small-leaf tea in Yunnan, some "authoritative figures" believe that the origin of small-leaf tea in Yunnan is in Kunming, including Taihua tea, Shilixiang, Baohong tea, etc., all of which are small-leaf teas that originated in Yunnan.
Professor Gao Zhao believes that "the paleoclimate and paleogeological conditions of Yunnan do not form the origin of small-leaf tea. The formation and origin of Yunnan small-leaf tea is at least in the northeast of Yunnan (now Zhaotong), Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, not Kunming, let alone the current Xishuangbanna. "Why?Professor Gao Zhao said that before the absence of human beings, the temperature of the earth was shifted downward, so the paleoclimate and paleogeological conditions of Yunnan did not have the genetic characteristics of the microphyllous species.
When we talk about the origin of the primitive species of the ancient tea plant, we need to fully understand the climate at that time for 40 to 50 million years, and even the structure and changes of the earth's plates at that time. "As a biologist, I believe that the solidity of my knowledge of biology will gradually clarify all this."Academically, everyone can present facts and reason. ”
