Why is Dahongpao called the king of tea?

The preciousness and uniqueness of these six mother trees, Dahongpao, are known all over the world. When people visit Wuyishan area, they must also see the real thing.

In ancient times, the tea produced by these six mother trees, Dahongpao, was a tribute, which ordinary people could not eat. Now "Mother Tree Dahongpao" has become an intangible cultural heritage, and it was banned from June 2007 10. Not only is there a special person to take care of it, Wuyishan City also contributes 1 100 million yuan to insure it.

I want to ask, what kind of tea can be treated like an emperor through the ages?

Only this dahongpao is also.

So, can these mother trees Dahongpao really be regarded as "the king of tea"?

Let's take a look at its real value first.

Example 1: China and the United States established diplomatic relations 1972, Chairman Mao gave Nixon four Liang Dahongpao. At that time, the output was only 728, and Premier Zhou laughed and said that it was a masterpiece in the national ceremony.

Example 2: In 2004, the seventh China Wuyishan Dahongpao Cultural Festival and the best lot of Dahongpao, 20 grams of Dahongpao was auctioned at a price of 208,000 yuan, worth millions.

Let's talk about its quality characteristics.

The growth environment of Dahongpao, the mother tree of Jiulongshan Mountain, is very unique, not only growing on the cliff, but also infiltrated by fine springs all the year round. Moreover, the canyon is deep, the sunshine is short and the temperature difference is large. In this growing environment, the quality of tea is naturally different.

However, we ordinary people can't drink the mother tree Dahongpao. One gentleman has never seen the truth, let alone drunk it. So I can't tell you why.

That is to say, the Dahongpao that appears on the market now is generally divided into two categories.

One is pure Dahongpao, that is, cutting off the top ear of the tea tree of the mother tree Dahongpao and cultivating it by cutting; One is the commodity Dahongpao, which consists of more than two categories, mainly Beidou No.1, old fir narcissus, cinnamon and so on. There are clear requirements for aroma, rhyme and taste. Take the mellow fragrance of narcissus and the soup fragrance of cinnamon, and pursue the harmony and unity of quality. High-quality Dahongpao has a strong aroma, orchid fragrance, mellow taste and obvious rock rhyme.
