Today, Yunnongmei will take you to explore the Yiwu tea producing area and solve these doubts.

"Yi Wu" means "the place where the beautiful snake lives" in Dai language. Yiwu Mountain is located on the border between China and Laos, in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, and it is the leader of the six ancient tea mountains. As the saying goes, Yiwu occupies one and a half mountain.

You may ask: What are the origins of the six ancient tea mountains?

This is to mention the change of the history of tea mountain favor. The ancient tea mountain is mainly in Xishuangbanna, with the Lancang River as the boundary. The six major tea mountains in the river (Jiangdong) have been favored for many years since the Qing Dynasty. The rise and fall of the whole six ancient tea mountains also alludes to the development of Pu 'er tea, including its heyday, decline, glory and war.

Yi Wu Tea Mountain is famous, and seven villages and eight villages are busy making tea.

Among them, Yiwu tea is soft with rigidity, and there is a folk saying that "the king of the class is the queen of Yiwu", which means that the tea from the hills of Yi Wu is delicate in taste, like a gentle queen. Yiwu tea producing area has seven villages and eight villages. Seven villages refer to Mahei Village, Gaoshan Village, Luoshuidong Village, Manxiu Village, Sanheshe Village, Yibi Village and Zhangjiawan Village. Bazhai refers to Guafeng Village, Dingjiazhai (Yao), Dingjiazhai (Han), Jiumiao Village, Luode Village, Dazhai Village, Mansa Village and Xinzhai Village.

choose a few unique hills that we are familiar with.

Mahei Village

Mahei is now the most extensive and highest-yielding tea garden in many hills of Yi Wu. Tea trees are basically managed and cultivated by the Han people. The tea produced has outstanding aroma, full of tea flavor, and clear and transparent tea soup. It is the most typical representative of Yi Wu's characteristic of "fragrant and soft water" and is unique among many hills in Yi Wu.

Gaoshan Village

Gaoshan Village is a pure Yi Nationality Village. In recent years, the reputation of Gaoshan Village has gradually grown. Many tea merchants have entered the village to collect raw materials. The ancient tea strips made by local tea farmers are very beautiful and tight, with good integrity. The soup is golden and bright, with a strong and lasting fragrance, a long taste, a lasting sweetness and an empty cup. The aroma is excellent and the aftertaste is long.

Yi Wu water hole

The water hole is said to be the place where the seven fairies take a bath. Behind the village, there is a famous tea king tree, which is said to be about 8 years old.

The quality of the ancient tea in Luoshuidong is excellent, especially the spring tea. The spring tea made by local tea farmers by hand is compact, with dark gray appearance and white hair. After brewing, the soup is golden and transparent, sweet and fragrant, which is particularly prominent in the Luoshuidong of Yiwu tea, with endless charm, mellow soup quality and fresh taste in Gan Chun, especially in the later storage, and the taste will be better. /3bf33a87e95352a2cf37ac15843fbf2b3118b6d?

X-BCE-process = image/resize, m _ lfit, w _ 45, h _ 6, limit _ 1/quality, q _ 85

Zhangjiawan

Before War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, all tea merchants in the northern part of the six major tea mountains had to go through the small stockade of Zhangjiawan, which was a caravan at that time.

The tea in Zhangjiawan is pure Yi Wu flavor, with uniform appearance and silvery white color. After brewing, the soup is golden in color, full and delicate in taste, moist and Gan Chun, with extremely high aroma, rich and soft honey fragrance, and a feeling of small jasper after tasting.

Guaifeng Village

Guaifeng Village is a pure Yao village, bordering Laos, on the border, which is very remote. The ancient tea trees in Guaifeng Village are distributed in the virgin forest and mixed with the old trees in the forest. The tea trees grow slowly and accumulate a lot of substances, which can often give people great surprises in storage and transformation.

The most striking feature of ancient tree tea in Guafengzhai is its unique Shan Ye charm, and its overall performance is outstanding.

Dingjiazhai in Yiwu

Dingjiazhai has Yao village and Han village. Today, I will talk about Yao village first. There is a saying among tea lovers: If you like Yiwu tea, you must taste Dingjiazhai to know the charm of Yi Wu.

The tea garden in Dingjiazhai is famous for its bow. The tea we usually talk about in Dingjiazhai is actually bow tea (bow is the name of the tea garden).

Bow-bending tea has been very popular in recent years, and its price is far away. The quality of ancient tree tea is really very high, and it is the best tea for tea lovers.

The Han village in Dingjiazhai also has its own tea garden-Toona sinensis forest and a mill. Toona sinensis forest tea lovers are not familiar with it, but a mill has gained a reputation in recent years. These two ancient tea garden areas are one of the largest artificially cultivated ancient tea areas found in the six ancient tea mountains.

the characteristics of a ground ancient tree tea: both soft and tough. /e2442a7d933c895a49fc7b2da1373f83211? X-BCE-process = image/resize, m _ lfit, w _ 45, h _ 6, limit _ 1/quality, q _ 85

The ancestors of the ethnic minorities in Yi Wu Jiumiaozhai and Xinzhai

Xinzhai were the "Pu people" who first discovered and planted Pu 'er tea, and their attitude towards tea was always maintained.

The tea made by local tea farmers in Xinzhai is very good in taste. The tea strips are even, the soup color is orange and bright, and the taste is full. The tea soup has a heavy feeling, and it is moist after the product. The aroma is heavy. Xinzhai tea has a small shortcoming, and its aroma is not particularly obvious. Its aroma is sinking, the bottom aroma of the cup is not particularly obvious, and the sweetness of the tea soup is very high and full.

the tea in the old Miao village is very similar to that in the new village, and the difference is almost indistinguishable.

Luodezhai and Dazhai in Yi Wu are not well-known. The price of tea in Luodezhai is far lower than that of the first-line tea mountain, but the quality is comparable to that of the famous stockade in Yi Wu. Therefore, in terms of cost performance, the tea in Luodezhai is really good and cheap.

The tea buds in Dazhai are plump, the cords are moderately elastic, the color is moist, the soup is light yellow and bright, the taste is mellow, the aroma is high, the leaves are tender, complete and soft, the overall coordination is very good, and the layering is extremely rich.

Yiwumansazhai

The early Qing Dynasty was the most glorious period of Mansachashan, which was the tea distribution center in Yi Wu area at that time.

mansa tea is truly pure Yi Wu flavor. Because of its heavy sense of history and profound sense of vicissitudes, mansa tea is the most distinctive in the sweet tea series. It tastes slightly bitter compared with other tea areas in Yi Wu, but it can maintain high sweetness while suffering, which is very distinctive.
