Wuyi Mountain, the "kingdom" of Chinese tea varieties
Low yield, exquisite skills, but with a unique rock charm that makes people want to stopWuyi rock tea has been the most precious existence in the tea industry since ancient times. To this day, some of the "top luxury" in ordinary tea can only be bought with entry-level Wuyi rock tea. **High can't stop enthusiastic tea lovers from flocking to it, so the official has no choice but to set a limit that the unit price of 500g cannot exceed 60,000 yuan. If the layman asks, he will get a sentence:"Rock rhyme is worth it!”
The world loves rock tea.
Love its rare rock bone floral fragrance.
Then Wuyi Rock Tea saidWhat exactly is Rock Yun?And why is it worth it?We found a tea family in Wuyi Mountain that has been making tea for more than 300 years.
Rock tea is expensive in rhyme
Tea, a masterpiece of nature. A small cup of tea, a collection of including:Production area (mountain farm), climate, planting, variety, technology, age of treesand so on, you seem to be able to taste its origin and character in a sip and drink.
Between the cups, the tea is intoxicating.
Rock rhyme, the most praised unique flavor characteristic of Wuyi rock tea, is a comprehensive overall feeling including aroma, taste, and tail rhyme. At present, the most vivid description should be what Yao Yueming said in "Wuyi Rock Tea":"Rock tea is the first 'rock rhyme', sharp is thick and long, clear is far away, the taste is strong and mellow, fresh and smooth. ”
The formation of this unique flavor profile is closely related to the place of origin. Wuyi Mountain belongs to the Danxia landform, and most of the tea garden is the brown loose soil formed by weathering and erosion of volcanic conglomerate, which is in Lu Yu's "Book of Tea"."The upper one gives birth to rotten stones".The perfect presentation. As for the pickiness of the origin, as early as the Qing Dynasty, the "Sui Jianlu" put forward: "Wuyi tea is rock tea on the mountain, and Zhou tea is on the waterside." Rock tea is the top, and Zhou tea is second. Rock tea, the north mountain is the top, the south mountain is second. ”

The tea plantations here have deep soil.
Loose characteristics.
In short, the tea grown outside of Wuyi Mountain, even if it is made by rock tea technology, no matter how high the quality is, it cannot have the embodiment of rock rhyme;However, after several years of cultivation in Wuyi Mountain, varieties from other places will have the performance of rock rhyme. Rock rhyme is a unique natural gift of Wuyi Mountain.
At present, the state has identified the authentic Wuyi rock tea produced within the administrative area under the jurisdiction of Wuyishan City, Fujian Province, but the folk generally believe that 70 square kilometers in the scenic area of Wuyishan City isZhengyan production area, and the rock rhyme of Zhengyan tea is significantly better than that of other production areas.
Wuyi Mountain National Park is located at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, and is a national park with both natural and cultural heritage.
In addition to the extremely harsh natural growth environment, Wuyi rock tea has extremely high requirements for the planting management of tea gardens and the production process of rock tea. Good rock teaDo it only for one season, even if the yield is low, the picking standards must be strictly controlled;Rock teaHeavy water for fragranceIt requires the full experience and skills of the tea master to ensure that the rock rhyme is fully displayed.
To make old fir trees, you need to choose tea trees that are more than 50 years old.
Inherited for more than 300 years, do one thing well, "see the green and do the green".It is the most basic standard for making Wuyi rock tea that has been inherited for a hundred years. However, the actual operation completely depends on the personal experience of the tea master, and excellent tea makers can often give full play to the advantages of rock rhymeOn the contrary, if the skill is not enough, even if you have the raw materials of the Zhengyan core mountain farm, you may miss it, resulting in charring and a burnt smell.
Hojicha is the art of fire.
Therefore, if you want to drink authentic Wuyi rock tea, you can't get around the local Wuyi MountainA family of tea makers。Mr. Yao Yueming, a tea expert, once said: "All tea makers in Wuyi Mountain, if they don't know Chen Shu, they will be laughed at." Chen Shu Province is the first person to review Wuyi Rock Tea, and the local people are respectfully called the "Provincial Prince" of the tea industry, and the Chen family in Wuyi Mountain, where Chen Shu Province is located, isInherited for more than 300 yearsThe family of rock tea making tea. Turning over the history of Wuyi mountain tea, everything related to rock tea can always find the figure of the Chen family:"Production, Manufacturing and Distribution of Wuyi Tea".Medium、"Wuyi Tea Says".and...... inheritor of Wuyi rock tea making skills, a national intangible cultural heritageAll left a "story" about them.
