Extended information

Hubei is the hometown of Lu Yu, the "Cha Sheng", and Shennong, the "tea ancestor". Lu Yu's "Tea Classic" records that "tea is a drink, which originated from Shennong and was heard in Duke Zhou of Lu." (The author of Tea Classic is Lu Yu of Southern Song Dynasty. This sentence comes from the book and should be the author's own narrative. Tea, as a kind of drink in people's life, started from Shennong, but it was not until Duke Zhou of Lu that it was carried forward and spread. The legend about Shennong shows the clue of the origin of tea drinking, and can also prove Shennongjia's long history and profound cultural heritage as a tea producing area. In the original deep forest of Shennongjia, there are still wild tea trees growing up to now.

since ancient times, mountains and clouds have produced good tea. The high altitude mountain area is filled with clouds, and the quality of tea trees receiving solar radiation and light is different from that of the flat land. Air, temperature, light and soil have a profound influence on the growth and quality of tea trees. He Baoyan said that Shennongjia forest area is rich in natural resources, with a negative oxygen ion concentration of 16, per cubic centimeter.

More diffuse light, misty clouds and large temperature difference between day and night are beneficial to the internal circulation of nutrients in tea trees, and the accumulation and storage of tea polyphenols, amino acids, pectin and other nutrients in tea trees. In addition, the roots of tea trees in mountainous areas are developed, and effective substances are precipitated on the leaves, which makes the tea taste mellow.

in order to improve the cleanliness of tea and retain more active ingredients, Shennong Qifeng initiated the "atomization cleaning technology 16-18 hours before picking". Tea leaves grow on tea trees and are directly washed, and impurities such as floating dust, pesticide residues, bird droppings, eggs and the like on the tea leaves are removed by spraying equipment.

At present, Shennong Qifeng Tea Industry has 7 national trademarks, including Shennong Qifu, Yandi Qifeng and Qingtianpao, 16 patent achievements and 2 national invention patents, with a core tea garden of 66 mu. There are Kaijun Tea Professional Cooperative and Cooperative Association Papaya Garden Tea Professional Cooperative, which radiate more than 1, tea farmers and more than 4, mu of tea gardens.
