Jiangxi tea has finally risen. From its decline to ranking second in the country in terms of brand value, what has it experienced
When it comes to Jiangxi tea, many people may only know Lushan Yunwu, which is somewhat ignorant .
On the land of Ganzhou , there have been countless good teas since ancient times. In addition to Lushan Yunwu Tea , there are also Dog Gunnao Tea , Wuyuan Green Tea and so on. But today we are mainly talking about another tea in Jiangxi, from its decline to "Ninghong Gongfu", whose brand value ranks second in the country.
Let's take a look at Ning Hong What happened to ? Ning Hong's past and present life:
▶ Quality improvement, fragrance overseas
Ning black tea is an early Gongfu black tea in my country, mainly produced in Jiangxi Province Xiushui County, originated in the late Qianlong period (about 1785).
In Qing Dynasty Daoguang first year (1821), Luo Kunhua, a tea maker in Xiushui County, further improved Ning black tea, selected high-quality fresh leaves, and manually removed tea stalks, removed the end , tea making and other processes,In the end, Ning black tea has the characteristics of high aroma, high taste and strong taste, and the tea soup is red and bright, which is deeply recognized by many tea merchants.
After the improved Ning black tea came out, it quickly became famous and exported overseas. From 1892 to 1894, Xiushui exported 300,000 boxes (about 7,500 tons) of Ning black tea to Russian merchants every year, accounting for 80% of the total export of tea in Jiangxi Province.
By 1904, Ning Black Tea had become the tribute tea of the Qing Dynasty; in 1915, Ning Black Tea participated in the selection at the "panama World Expo " and won the highest honor - a Class A medal, and its reputation once crushed Moutai.
▶ Yesterday was brilliant, today’s sigh
Due to the impact of the war (World War I), civil war and foreign humiliation, Sino-Russian trade was interrupted, and by 1933, Ninghong severely reduced production, The export volume of Ninghong is only more than 4,000 boxes. Large areas of tea gardens are deserted, tea houses are closed, and the tea market is withering. By 1949, there were only 7,000 tans of tea produced in Ninghong, Xiushui County.
▶ Reorganization, bigger and stronger The tea factories were all integrated into Ninghong, and in 2010, the Beijing enterprise Gengxiang Tea Group was introduced to join Ninghong to become bigger and stronger.
2015 Ning Black Tea was recognized by experts at the Milan Expo held in Italy,Won the "Public Brand Gold Award", realizing the 100-year-old glory of Ning Black Tea. According to the results of the brand value of Chinese tea products in 2021 released by China Tea Circulation Association , Ninghong ranks second in the country.
Although it has experienced many ups and downs, fortunately, Ning Hong has a perfect ending. Eventually, Ning Hong emerged, got out of the predicament, and returned to the public eye, and has also become one of the representative enterprises in Jiangxi. However, in contrast, the fate of another black tea in China is a bit different. Although it has quality and reputation, it has not been actively promoted and appreciated by Bole, and it will end up in a corner where no one knows it.
▶ Xianwu Fengming
This is a high mountain black tea from Yibin, Sichuan. belongs to the "Top Ten Famous Teas" in Sichuan - Tianfu Longya series.
Its product positioning is to only make ration tea that the public can afford, so the price is affordable. However, due to the underdeveloped economy and transportation in the mountainous areas, and the lack of news, the popularity of this tea has not been great.
Although it has gradually improved with the help of the national poverty alleviation project, it is only famous locally and not very famous outside the province. In terms of quality, this tea does not belong to the big brand tea.
This tea is produced in alpine tea gardens above 900 meters above sea level. The local soil is rich in humus, cloudy and foggy all the year round, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and sunlight can only diffuse, which is beneficial to the accumulation of nutrients. Black tea has the characteristics of "rich aroma and sweet taste".
Its dried tea strips are quite delicate and free of impurities, and the color is dark and moist; the tea soup after brewing is orange-yellow, clear and translucent.It makes people intoxicated; after swallowing, the bottom of the tongue is obviously rejuvenated.
