900 years ago, Song Huizong wrote in On Daguan Tea: "White tea is different from ordinary tea. Its article explains that its leaves are thin, although it is not caused by manpower. " The article does not explain the origin of white tea. Since ancient times, people have only heard of its name, not its shape. In 2003, it was verified by experts that the white tea mentioned by Song Huizong was Anji white tea produced in Anji County, Zhejiang Province.

Anji county is located in the north of Zhejiang province, where beautiful mountains and rivers and green water flow. It is a famous hometown of bamboo in China. 1982, an ancient tea tree with white tea was accidentally discovered in a valley in Anji. Since then, Anji white tea has been gradually recognized and developed by people. Anji White Tea and West Lake Longjing grow here. In contrast, the color of Anji white tea tree is obviously lighter. Even more amazing is that the color of tea buds will change with the seasons: the young leaves before Qingming are gray; In Grain Rain, the young leaves will gradually turn green until they are completely green. Anji white tea has a short tea production cycle, generally only about one month, which makes white tea more delicate.

China tea can be basically divided into six categories: green tea, black tea, green tea, white tea, yellow tea and black tea. Although Anji white tea is called white tea, it belongs to the category of green tea. Because it is made of white leaf tea according to the method of green tea. The new leaves are spread for four or five hours, and then fixed at a certain temperature and time. After shaping and pruning, and finally drying, Anji white tea is completely out of the pot. New Anji white tea, after brewing, has green stems and leaves, light yellow tea soup color and fresh fragrance.

Compared with other green teas, Anji white tea is characterized by high amino acid content and rich nutrition. Therefore, Anji white tea is not only delicious, but also healthy. Recently, white tea has become popular among girls and won the nickname "beauty tea".

Zhang Fujin's family in jian shan, Anji County has been planting white tea for more than 20 years and is well-known in the local area. Today, a friend came to his house to taste new tea. Unexpectedly, the foreign customers just came, and the tight Anji white tea was sold out at home. The party is still going on, and the topic of white tea seems endless.

Anji white tea is a rising star of Zhejiang famous tea. White tea is one of the six major teas. Anji white tea, which is made by green tea processing technology, belongs to green tea, and its color is white because its processing raw materials are collected from a tea tree with all white leaves.

Anji white tea tree is a kind of tea tree, which is extremely rare. Young leaves in spring are pure white, but when they are "old in spring", they become white and green flowers and leaves, and Zhixia is all green. Such a rare variety of tea trees breeds high-quality Anji white tea, which makes the tea gardens in China more colorful.

Albinism of animals and plants has always been rare and is regarded as a good omen. In Buddhism, there are stories of white finches and white apes listening to scriptures. White snake and white turtle have become the protagonists of fairy tales. If they are discovered today, they will be reported. China's earliest record of white tea was in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty (1041-kloc-0/048): "White-leaf tea, with leaves like paper, is valued by the people, thinking that tea is rich." Song Huizong and Evonne said in "On Daguan Tea": "White tea itself is a kind of tea, which is different from ordinary tea. Its strips are carefully made, and its leaves are between the cliff and the forest. Although it is not caused by manpower, there are only four or five, and one or two are alive. " After the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty said that white tea was valuable, he said, "There are not many buds, so it is extremely difficult to steam and bake. Once the soup is lost, it becomes an ordinary product. " Because this record has been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 350 years, no white tea has been found. Therefore, Anji's white tea fills the gap in historical records and is extremely rare.

Anji is located at the northern foot of Tianmu Mountain, where the mountains are undulating, the trees and bamboos are shaded, the clouds are lingering, the rainfall is abundant and the soil is fertile. Anji, also known as "China Bamboo Township", has a vegetation coverage rate of 60%, and the relationship between tea and bamboo is worth tasting. The production practice shows that the tea collected around or adjacent to the bamboo forest generally contains chestnut or orchid, and the closer to the bamboo forest, the more obvious the orchid is. Perhaps it is the unique ecological environment in Zhuxiang that gave birth to the shocking Anji white tea tree and Anji white tea.

Anji first discovered dozens of wild white tea trees in Malinggang, Xiaofeng Town on 1930. "The tender leaves extracted from the branches are as white as jade and slightly yellow after baking, which are produced by the local Guangjin Temple" ("County Records"), I don't know what to do. 1982 another white tea tree was found on the 800-meter-high mountain in Hengkengwu, Daxi Village, Tianhuangping Town. Its tender leaves are pure white, only the main vein is slightly green, and it rarely bears seeds. At that time, Liu Yimin and Cheng Yagu, technicians of the County Forestry Institute, successfully cut propagation on April 4th, and by 1996, it had grown to 1000 mu, and only 200 mu could be harvested, with an annual output of less than 1000 kg of dry tea. Because its amino acid content is twice that of ordinary tea, which is 6. 19%-6.92%, and tea polyphenols is 10.7%, it won the highest score of 99 points in the second tea fighting conference in Zhejiang Province in 1989, and 99.3 points in the following year 19655. Anji white tea, 1996, 500g1500-2,200 yuan, because the quantity is small, the demand exceeds the supply.
