Some time ago, I read an article "Ban Zhang is the king and Iceland is the queen, then Yiwu can only be your father! 》 article. The content of the
article is a bit plastic, so I won't discuss it here, but as far as this title is concerned, it seems that I want to express: Yiwu Tea is the most awesome.
I have explained the views on Yiwu Tea in previous articles, such as (click on the text to jump to view the full text):

Regarding these articles, I would like to summarize and express them in one sentence: Drinking tea is climbing a mountain to see the scenery. Each height has its own scenery, and every scene is worth cherishing.
How does that person view Yiwu Tea?
To be honest, from the perspective of a businessman, I am more willing to make Mengku tea and Lincang tea. On the one hand, there is profit margin; on the other hand, consumers are easy to understand, Mengku tea is more casual and direct, and the sweet and fragrant flavor of sweet soup is mellow or pure, and it can be distinguished at the mouth;
From the perspective of personal tasting experience, Mengku tea gives me the feeling of being so exciting; Menghai tea gives me the feeling of being amazing; and Yiwu tea gives me the feeling of being unforgettable.
In fact, good tea in each tea area can bring people the ultimate tasting experience, but the only high-end tea in Yiwu is delicate and warm, but it has penetration and durability that other tea areas cannot achieve.
The drinking experience it brings to the body is unforgettable, endless aftertaste, and cannot be calmed for a long time.
Use one word to summarize it. Yiwu tea, what you drink is the foundation!
. Don’t make noise, you will have your own sound. This is the true charm of Yiwu Tea.
There is an indisputable fact in the Shantou tea industry. Every spring tea, tea friends like the most, and the most discussed one is always famous ancient trees or single melons from famous mountains.
The most typical one is the tea king tree in the old village of Iceland and the tea king tree in the old village.
Especially in recent years, the sudden popularity of some famous micro-producing areas has made the "hype" more intense. Therefore, whenever Iceland and Lao Banzhang mention, the opinions held by consumers who are unknown are often more derogatory than praise.
But no matter the noise outside, Yiwu Tea always seems to be able to keep itself alone. After so long in the industry, I rarely hear news about Yiwu Tea hype, and even the news about Jiangnei Six Tea Mountains (Gu Liushan) is rarely heard.
But friends who collect Yiwu raw materials know:
First, the raw materials of Yiwu tea are not cheap , similar to Mint Pond, Tea King Tree, Fengzhai , Tianmen Mountain, Tongqing River and other small areas of ancient tree tea, although the price is not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands per kilogram, the price of famous mountains such as Iceland and Laobanzhang is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands per kilogram, but it is no problem to just over tens of thousands per kilogram;
Second, the raw materials are expensive on the one hand, and such expensive raw materials are often hard to find. The most typical example of is like a mint pond. Fresh leaves need to be reserved in advance, and queue up to equal the sign. Buying fresh leaves depends on fate;
raw materials are expensive and hard to find, and there is little hype. So what is Yiwu Tea relying on? Reputation. Where does reputation come from?
It must be the result of generations of true tea lovers and tea lovers who have come one after another, no matter how much love, going deep into the source and passing on word of mouth.
Only the real Pu'er tea veteran players know that Yiwu tea does not need to be hyped. Any tea friends who form a correct drinking system and understand the deeper drinking value of ancient tree tea, after drinking pure Yiwu good tea, will be captured by its delicate, powerful, wild and pure drinking experience and become a devoted supporter.
is not noisy, it has its own sound, which cannot be replaced by any hype. This is the charm of Yiwu Ancient Tea and its golden signboard!
No one in the world can compete with him. This is one of the foundations of Yiwu Tea!
2. The charm of Yiwu Tea lies in its segmentation and depth.
Why should Shantou tea be subdivided?
The most essential purpose of subdivision is to find higher quality tea leaves. This is one of them, because of subdivision, "one mountain, one tangerine, pure material of ancient trees"; also because of subdivision, more and more recognizable mountains are produced. Behind the term
subdivision is the ultimate tasting ability. The unique small regional climate of famous camellia has created more distinctive features and a better drinking experience.
In other words, the more subdivided the production area, the deeper the tea people play with ancient tree tea.
There is no doubt that no tea area is as detailed as Yi Wu.
Let’s take a look at the output of these famous micro-producing areas of Yiwu:
The mint pond, which has been incredible in recent years, has a unique popularity in Mint Pond, a Class 1 Ancient Tea Tree The output of a spring tea is about 80 kilograms; the second Class 2 ancient trees are about 2,000, most of them are ancient tree teas from 100 to 200 years, and some have been dwarfed, and the output of a spring tea is about 500 to 600 kilograms;
claims to be the "Doyi Tree" of the next mint pond, but it is a forest tea garden composed of only hundreds of high-rod ancient trees. Based on 2 kilograms per tree, the output of spring tea in the first season is only 200 kilograms;
Not to mention small areas like Biaofengzhai, Tianmen Mountain, Tea King Tree, etc.
Yiwu production area is often just one or several pieces of land and is selected separately to be a "famous micro production area", similar to the Shimenkan in Mahei, the banana forest in Gaoshan Village, and even the first and second categories of mint ponds. These extreme small-producing areas have common characteristics: delicate and powerful; wild and pure. But it seems to be different. Previously, we talked about a tea that is nothing more than: color, fragrance, taste, breath, and rhyme;
Only when talking about famous micro-producing areas such as Yiwu is it necessary to talk about its "god".
God is the spirit, which comes from the calligraphy "The wonderful way of calligraphy, spirit is the best". Just as a person's life experience and character will be integrated into his calligraphy, I saw "the spirit of the temple", I saw "the spirit of the temple", I saw "the elegance of the temple", I saw "the elegance of the jade", I saw "the elegance of the jade", and I saw "the elegance of the jade" of the tea; the growth environment of a tea, the tree species and leaves of the leaf species will also treat it. The characteristics of tea have an impact and are ultimately presented in the drinking experience. Just as when you taste Mansong , you feel the breath of "rich and idle people"; when you drink the mint pond, you feel the breath of "mountain hermit"; when you drink the numb and black high pole, you feel the aura of a central and peaceful Confucianism...
3. Drink Yiwu, you drink the foundation!
For me, drinking Lincang tea is like reading "Water Margin", the children of the world are happy and revengeful; drinking Menghai tea is like reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", reading the heaviness of history and taste the ups and downs of people's hearts; drinking Yiwu tea is like reading " Dream of the Red Chamber ", delicate and lively, with charm, and endless aftertaste;
Lincang represents the breadth of Shantou tea, direct and rich, and easy to capture the taste experience; Menghai tea represents the thickness of Shantou tea, strong, broad, and full and heavy; Yiwu tea represents the depth of Shantou tea, delicate and profound, soft and hard, and long aftertaste.
So taste, it doesn’t matter how high or low it is. Just match the depth of the mountain tea with your own taste height.
However, in terms of Yiwu Tea, I think drinking Yiwu Tea is the foundation. What is foundation?
Someone only saw Yiwu's old street, but couldn't see the grand occasion of the tea industry that tens of thousands of merchants in Yiwu's old street a hundred years ago;
Someone only saw the tall ancient trees in the dense jungle, but didn't know that the nutrition of this ancient tree comes from the deep soil of more than ten meters or even dozens of meters underground;
Someone only drank the fragrant water of Yiwu tea, but didn't know that behind the fragrant water of Yangyang Shuiru is the fragrant soup that is as lively as the dance music , delicate as the waterway of the baby's skin, the charm of the taste buds, and the body feeling of the breeze of the armpits,
Someone only drank the waterway, the charm, the body feeling and the soup fragrance, but didn't know that such a tasting experience is in line with the spirit of the thousand-year inheritance of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
The heritage is experience, history, culture and spirit.
This is Yiwu Tea.
