Is Yibin famous for its tea? Where can I pick tea?

There has always been a saying in tea shops that the spring fair depends on the "face" of God. If there is no morning tea in Yibin, there will be no new tea in the Canton Fair. This is Yibin morning tea produced in Sichuan.

"Early, tender, fast and good" Yibin morning tea is produced in Yibin, the first city in the Yangtze River, and has been put on the plaque of "the hometown of morning tea in Yibin, China" by China Tea Circulation Association. The advantage of Yibin morning tea is the word "early", as early as the spring of a year, as early as before the spring. The early tea producing area here is located in the southern margin of Sichuan Basin, at the downstream end of Jinsha River Basin, where Jinsha River, Minjiang River, Yangtze River, Xiaoliangshan Mountain and Wumeng Mountain all meet. Influenced by the climate of high humidity, hot valley and alpine mountain area all the year round, it presents the typical characteristics of humid monsoon climate in the middle subtropical zone, and the shallow hill valley has the tropical climate attribute of South Asia.

Yibin's geographical advantage is very unique and obvious, and it can't be copied. Yibin is close to Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with high terrain in the southwest and low terrain in the northeast. There are residual veins of Liangshan Mountains in the west, among which Laojun Mountain, the main peak of Wuzhishan Mountain in Pingshan County, is the highest point in the city, with an altitude of 2008.7 meters. The southern part is the basin side belt of Sichuan basin, that is, the northern slope of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. There are Xianfeng Mountain in Xingwen County at an altitude of 1795. 1 m and Daxue Mountain in Junlian County at an altitude of 1777.2 m.. The northeast is the rest of Huaying Mountain, and Qixing Mountain, Longtou Mountain and Guandou Mountain near Yibin City are all distributed in this area. The southeast side belongs to Dongling Valley in Sichuan Basin, with the lowest city boundary. The Yangtze River bed with an altitude of 236.3 meters near Jinshan Temple in Jiang 'an County is in this area. The northwest side belongs to the hilly area of the basin. The landform of the city is mainly low-middle hills, with ridges and valleys alternating, narrow and fragmentary flat dams, and the natural profile is "seven mountains, one water and two fields". As a result, the average temperature in Yibin, Leng Yue reached 8℃ in 65438+ 10, which was the highest in the same latitude (27-28 north latitude) in China. In winter, the temperature is high, the air humidity is high, and it warms up early in spring, so Yibin tea can be opened in early February every year, which is generally about 15 to 30 days earlier than the main tea-producing areas in Sichuan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. In Yibin, Laojun Mountain in Pingshan County, Huangshan Mountain in Yibin County, Daxueshan Mountain in Junlian County and Wangjiashan Mountain in Gongxian County, the forest coverage rate is over 40%, forming a superior natural ecological environment for tea planting. The middle and low tea areas below 600 meters above sea level are the most suitable areas for ecological morning tea production.

The tea trees of Yibin morning tea are mostly domestic varieties that germinate very early, such as Wuniuzao and Huangyazao. Morning tea with only one bud is beautiful in shape, green in color, green in soup, high in fragrance and delicious. The earliest morning tea this year was opened on February 2, and Beijing tea drinkers actually had the Lantern Festival tea blessing of "a pot of new green refreshing and a bowl of glutinous rice balls warming people's hearts". Yibin morning tea has been harvested for a long time. In addition to the early tea picking season, there is also an early history of tea planting, tea tasting and tea circulation. There are records of "fragrant tea in the garden" and "tribute tea" in Yibin BC. The fragrant tea was made by Bo and lasted for 3,000 years.
