"One or two gold and one or two teas", what is this "golden tea"?

The so-called "one or two gold and one or two teas" still has a certain origin. The tea mentioned here is not ordinary tea, but magic tea that can be used to save lives. It is a local specialty of Hunan, "Golden Tea".

"Golden tea" is actually a kind of green tea, which originated from Golden Village, Hulu Town, Baojing County, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. This is the oldest tea tree resource in the area. This kind of golden tea actually has allusions.

According to the records of the Jiajing period of Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty:

In April of the 18th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, Lu Jie, the capital of the imperial court, visited the garrison from Baojing County to Jishou City. When passing through the ravine of Hulu Town, Baojing District, most of the people were infected with miasma.

When everyone arrived at Liangchahe Miao Village with difficulty, the Miao people picked fresh leaves from the century-old tea tree in front of their house, brewed them into tea soup, and handed them to officials who were contaminated with miasma. Unexpectedly, the miasma of officials was cured within half an hour after drinking tea!

Liu Jie was very happy. On the spot, he presented a gold bar to the old woman to show his gratitude and presented tea as a tribute to Jiajing.

Since then, this kind of tea has been regarded as "one gold and one tea" in the market.

Therefore, the origin of golden tea is not small, but in fact, there are many kinds of contemporary golden tea, but the golden tea here refers to the tea in Xiangxi, Hunan Province. Xiangxi golden tea is mainly distributed in Jishou and Baojing in Xiangxi, belonging to an ancient and rare local tea variety. And now there are tea trees in their 200 s. The amino acid content of golden tea is sufficient, and the processed dry tea has the quality of "fragrance, green, refreshing and strong". It is rich but not bitter, and has a mellow taste, which many people like very much.

The discovery of Xiangxi golden tea has a history of about four or five hundred years. Golden tea is a truly pure natural healthy drink, which is very suitable for people who get angry easily in hot summer, and is also very popular with modern people, green and healthy. So to sum up, golden tea is the golden tea in Xiangxi, which is good for us and can be drunk properly.
