The characteristics of this kind of tea are quite different from other teas. Its leaves are delicate and even, slightly revealing dark green in cyan, covered with a layer of soft and delicate white hair, and there are five to seven tea leaves. The tea soup is clear and golden, and the tea tastes cool, fragrant and sweet, which makes people feel deeply, and the sweetness in the mouth lasts for a long time.
This tea is processed very finely. Generally, picking begins at the beginning of April. The standard of fresh leaves of high-grade Gougunao tea is the first bud and one leaf, which requires no exposed leaves, no leaves in rainy days and no leaves in sunny days at noon. Fresh leaves should be carefully selected after collection, and purple bud leaves, single leaves and fish leaves should be removed. After that, it is refined through six processes: fixing, rolling, setting, baking, frying and packaging. On June 29th, 2004, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued an announcement, approving the protection of geographical indication products for Gougunao tea. Since then, Suichuan specialty Gougunao tea has embarked on the road of rapid and healthy development.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the planting area of Gougunao tea was small, and the output was very low, with an annual output of only tens of kilograms. According to the data in 3 1 year (1942) of the Republic of China, "Yushan tea, also known as Gougunao, is now sold for three yuan every two", and "the amount of tea is small", but "mainlanders rarely taste its fragrance. At the beginning of the People's Republic of China, in order to maintain and develop this traditional famous tea, the price of Gougunao tea was reasonably adjusted. Leaders at all levels went deep into Liang Qigui's home (hereinafter referred to as Liang's) to express their condolences, publicize policies, help solve some specific difficulties, support and encourage them to improve their tea-making technology, and increase the output of Gougunao tea by 6438+0957.
