Product Description: Most of the tea trees on the roof are planted in Mi Shan at an altitude of 800 ~ 900 meters. The climate in tea-growing areas is cool in summer and cold in winter, with an average annual temperature of 65,438 02.2℃, dense fog all the year round, frequent snowfall in winter, and annual precipitation of 65,438 0900 mm, which keeps the tea-growing areas moist all the year round. The mountainous area is sandy loam with deep and fertile soil layer. Tea farmers choose favorable terrain to plant sporadically, and plant other trees around them to form a natural barrier against wind and cold, so as to prevent the threat of mountain air cooling. Due to the low temperature and slow germination in mountainous areas, one bud and two leaves were picked after the small harvest. In order to ensure the characteristics of this kind of tea, only spring tea is used. Originally, the green tea was fried by hand, but now it is half-fried and half-baked, mainly fried, or handmade. It is made by spreading fresh leaves, deactivating enzymes at high temperature, spreading and cooling, gently kneading, primary drying and dehydration, spreading and cooling, frying in pan, baking at low temperature and slightly cooling. Brewing for three times is especially fragrant, which fully shows the natural characteristics of Alpine Cloud Tea and is listed as a treasure in green tea.

Product history: According to Quan Zhi in Tiantai Mountain, as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a saying in Gaodao that "Ge Xuan Tea Garden has reached Huading Mountain". During the Southern Dynasties, Master Chen, a monk and wise man, lived in Huading and Tianfeng, giving up drinking and meditating, enjoying tea and sleeping peacefully. His disciples hid their wisdom, and offered tea to cure diseases for Emperor Yang Di. Lu Yu, a "Cha Sheng" in the Tang Dynasty, recorded in the Book of Tea: "Those who were born in Chicheng are also born in Kuitang", and "Shiqiao Mountain also produces tea, which is sweet and delicious, and cannot be outside the county." Cloudy tea in Tiantai Mountain spread eastward with Buddhism. In 804 AD, Japanese monks first came to Tiantai Mountain to learn from their teachers. When they came home, they brought tea seeds and planted them on Hiei Mountain, which is called "Riji Tea Garden". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Rong Xi entered the mountain for the second time, and the variety and preparation method of Wuyun tea, which is known as "Buddha's heaven and rain dew" and "Yuan Di's fairy pulp", were spread to the east again. Rong wrote in "Drinking Tea for Health": "Climb Mount Tiantai, see the stone bridge Qinglong, worship Luohan to talk about the peak, and light up the exotic flower tea soup." "Tea is an elixir of health and a coup to prolong life". He actively publicized and promoted the cultivation and consumption of tea, and was known as Lu Yu of Japan.

Product story: It is said that tea picking and brewing at that time were very strict and particular. Only the picking method and the magical landscape after making tea are mentioned here. The picking time is five days before the Grain Rain in the lunar calendar, and the time is ten days. Two hours before sunrise every morning. The picking role should be a pure girl under the age of 18. Wash hands, face and mouth before picking. The picking method is: you don't have to bite with your hands, put the bitten sharp leaves in Sipari and pour them into a brand-new bamboo basket. Take them back to brew as soon as the sun rises. These brewed Grain Rain teas were sent to the imperial court and presented to eunuchs by specialized personnel. The utensils used by emperors and queens to brew cloud tea on the roof were also specially made. These vessels are all gold cups and jade lamps. When the emperor and queen were brewed on the roof by eunuchs and maids, they were sent to the palace. When the emperor and queen lifted the lid of the tea to taste it, a fragrant mist filled the golden cup and jade lamp. In front of the emperor's eyes, there were two yellow dragons surrounded by water on the inner walls of the golden cup and the jade lamp until the tea was finished. When the water resumed, Huanglong flew around like this. Later, the emperor gave Wuyun tea in Tiantai Mountain as "tribute tea". I don't know if this legend is true or not, but it is enough to show that Tiantai Wuyun tea has a long history and the picking time and method are very strange, which can really be included in the Guinness Book of World Tea Records.
