More About Xinyang Maojian

The origin of Xinyang Maojian?

During the Tang Dynasty, the development of tea production began to enter a prosperous period. Xinyang has become a famous tea area, and the quality of the tea produced is high, and Xinyang Maojian is no exception. In the early years of the Republic of China, with the rapid development of processing technology, the production process of Maojian was gradually improved and perfected. Xinyang Tea District produces local Maojian tea, officially named "Xinyang Maojian". In 1915, at the Panama International Exposition, Xinyang Maojian won the gold medal.

Xinyang Maojian has always been ranked among the top ten famous teas in the country.

Where is Xinyang?

Xinyang, which belongs to the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, is located in the southernmost part of Henan Province and the northern part of the Jiangbei tea area in my country. As a tea-producing area in the north, the growth cycle is long, and the picking time will be slightly later than that of southern green tea. Here the mountains are ups and downs, the vegetation is rich, the rainfall is abundant, the clouds and mists are filled, and the air is humid. Tea gardens are distributed at an altitude of about 200 meters. Although the altitude is not high, it is located at the geographical boundary between the north and the south. The temperature difference between day and night is large, which is very conducive to the growth of tea trees.

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.
