In people's impression, China's tea-producing areas are all in southern Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places. This is related to the way European business travelers transported tea, handicrafts and silver in Nanyue, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places with the reopening of the Maritime Silk Road after16th century. Local tea merchants can reduce the cost and risk of bumpy roads, and over time, they have formed a "China tea producing area".
In fact, there are many good teas in the north, and Shaanxi is the earliest place to grow tea trees in China. Not later than 3000 years ago in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ba people in southern Shaanxi began to grow tea artificially in the garden. The famous story of "Shennong tasting a hundred herbs" discovering tea also happened in today's Sichuan-Shaanxi region.
Gu, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty, concluded: "After Qin people took Shu, they only had tea.". The first time Qin people took Shu was in 3 16 BC, that is, in the ninth year of Qin Huiwang, "Sima Cuo cut Shu and destroyed it". After the demise of Shu, 10000 Qin people moved to Shu. In 3 16 BC, Shu people began to plant and drink tea, and taught this skill to Qin people who moved to Shu. Historically, tea was not only an important source of food and clothing for farmers in southern Shaanxi during the Tang and Song Dynasties, but also relied on it to open up financial resources and expand armaments. Hanzhong in Ming Dynasty was the distribution center and trade center of tea and Shu tea in southern Shaanxi. At that time, the output of tea in Hanzhong was as high as 5 million Jin (1557), accounting for 2,500 tons. This shows the cultivation and development history of Hanzhong tea and its ancient reputation.
On the other hand, Maojian tea, as a sub-variety of green tea or yellow tea, is famous for its thin, straight, round and smooth appearance. The whole body of tea is covered with white hair, and the taste of tea soup is very fresh, strong, sweet and unique. When boiling water is poured into the cup, you can see that Maojian tea leaves relax vertically, and then slowly sink to the bottom of the cup. The tea leaves are even, tender, bright green and smooth. The tea soup brewed in this way has fresh and clean color, no impurities, elegant and fresh aroma, fresh and refreshing taste, mellow smell and longer and sweeter. After brewing many times, you can taste different flavors, just like "young people listen to the song building and the rain, and the red candle is faint; In full bloom, the boat listens to the rain, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind; Now listen to the rain monk, the temple is full of stars.
