Gedeng is a Brown language, which means a very high place, Gedeng Tea Mountain covers an area of about 150 square kilometers between Yibang Tea Mountain and Mangzhi Tea Mountain, and the smallest area among the six major tea mountains, although the area of Gedeng Tea Mountain is small, but because it is closest to Kongming Mountain, and there is a large tea king tree, it has a special status and proud reputation in the six major tea mountains.
Simao Hall Chronicles" and "Pu'er Chronicles" recorded: "There is a tea king tree in its Zhigedeng, which is taller than all the tea trees, and when the local people are picking, they first have a wine ceremony to sacrifice here." The tea king tree of Gedeng is the only one of the six major tea mountains that is recorded in the book, and it can be imagined that it is "tall and tall". But this big tea tree has died in the ** period, and now only a tree pit remains, and there are many of its descendants growing around the tree pit - small tea trees.
The ancient tea mountain of Gedeng includes the area of Xinfa Village, Xinfang, and Laiyang River in Xiangming. During the Qianlong period, because the tea garden of Gedeng Tea Mountain was connected to Yibang Tea Mountain, and the area was very large, there was also a fire of tea gardens left by Gedeng and Xi Kun people to fight for tea gardens.
The climate of Gedeng Tea Mountain is pleasant, with dense forest vegetation, fertile soil, abundant sunlight and abundant rainfall
