About Lu’an Guapian

Why is it called Lu'an Guapian?

Lu'an Guapian is produced near Qishan in Lu'an City, Anhui Province. It is the only tea without buds and stalks. Because of its shape like sunflower seeds (瓜子:“Gua Zi”), it is called "Lu'an Guapian".

How are Lu'an Guapian made?

The origin of Lu'an Guapian is very narrow, only produced in the Dabie Mountains of Jinzhai County, Lu'an City, with a radius of only fifty or sixty miles. The misty rain here for many years weakens the direct sunlight and forms scattered light, which is conducive to the formation and accumulation of aromatic substances in tea.

When picking Lu'an Guapian, it is necessary to discard the tender shoots, and only take two or three leaves, seeking "strong" rather than "tender". The absence of buds reduces the grassy taste, and the absence of stems ensures that the tea is strong and not bitter.

Therefore, it has to wait until the tea buds grow completely, about after Qingming and before Grain Rain.
The craftsmanship of melon sliced ​​tea is complicated and the time to market is late, so it does not have an advantage in the market, and even the inheritance of traditional skills is a problem. It is very rare to find a traditional product that can represent the quality of Lu'an Guapian.

How does it taste?

The color of Lu'an Guapian is emerald green, with hoarfrost, the soup color is clear green and bright, with the fragrance of flowers and seaweed, and the taste is fresh and sweet.

There is a small tea mountain in Dali, Yunnan,
Located at an altitude of 2668 meters,
Clouds and sunlight cover each tea tree at the same time.
Every tea bud is a wild child bred by heaven and earth.
The unique environment affects the growth and development of tea,
and the long history has bred ancient tea trees that can be seen everywhere.
In the distance, there are undulating mountains,
There are also clouds and mist drifting in the mountains.
The so-called clouds and mist entering the cup are the true portrayal of the tea here.

Best organic tea + Best tea making process

The owner of the tea garden told us that he has adhered to the agricultural production method following the laws of nature for many years, based on the maintenance of soil vitality and main soil cultivation, and never used any chemical fertilizers, pesticides and Various growth regulators and any additions that are harmful to the soil are used to plant and maintain tea gardens.

Although in Chinese natural farms, this can be called a textbook-like existence. But for him, these are only the duties of the producer.

We explored this real natural tea garden, walked into it, and discovered its magic

What amazes us is that the fertilizer used in the tea garden comes from the excrement of cattle and black goats raised in the tea mountain.
In this farm, he created an ecosystem where all creatures and life share. The fungi, mosses, all kinds of wild herbs, and alpine rhododendrons here are all kinds, making people feel like they have strayed into the tropical rainforest.Among them, the tea tree occupies only one-third. The 600-mu mountain has an annual output of only 4,000 jin, which is very small for the common Yunnan tea mountains.
