Features of the Ancient Tree Tea from Yi Wu Ban Gong
Ban Gong Ancient Tree Tea originates from the ancient tea garden in Dingjiazhai (Yao ethnic group) of Manla Village, Yiwu Town, Mengla County, Yunnan Province. It is located within the core area of the Yiwu tea mountain and includes micro-regions such as Ban Gong River and White Tea Garden, currently managed by the residents of Dingjiazhai (a Yao village). The Ban Gong tea carries a unique primitive forest aroma. With its immense tree age, it exhibits unparalleled smoothness and an incredibly refreshing taste, making it the pinnacle of Yiwu teas. Historically, Ban Gong Da Zhai was home to over 400 households and was the largest village in the Mansa region. There were both Han and Hui villages here, with a mosque in the Hui village and a Guandi Temple in the Han village. The Guandi Temple of Ban Gong was once the most exquisite building in the six major tea mountains, but now only ruins remain. The once prosperous Ban Gong Da Zhai gradually declined and is now uninhabited. The ancient tea gardens have suffered significant damage, with only a few ancient tea trees surviving in the primary forest at an altitude of 1,300 to 1,600 meters. Here, the average… -
Check and Receive Guizhou’s Winter Management Techniques for Tea Gardens and Cold Prevention Measures
Great tea is grown, but it is also well-managed. As the saying goes: "One-third planting, two-thirds management." After three seasons of growth and harvesting in spring, summer, and autumn, the tea plant has expended a great deal of nutrients, and the soil between rows becomes compacted. As winter approaches, proper garden management becomes particularly important for the quality and yield of next year's tea leaves. For this reason, the Tea Industry Development Working Group, in collaboration with Guizhou Broadcasting Station's Ecology & Rural Channel, has produced a teaching video on tea garden management during autumn and winter for reference and learning by tea companies and farmers. The video received strong support from the Guizhou Tea Research Institute and covers four parts: fertilization principles and recommendations, pruning techniques for tea plants, pest and disease control, and cold prevention measures. 1 Winter Fertilization According to the growth and development patterns of tea plants, as they enter autumn and winter, the above-ground parts will gradually stop growing and enter dormancy. However, the underground parts become increasingly active and enter the peak period of root activity throughout the year. At this time, the plant's root system significantly strengthens its absorption capacity and has a… -

Among Thousand Mountains, Why Jingmai Mountain?
Jingmai Mountain has become intertwined with us. Time and again, we have made the journey up the forest-lined cobblestone path, delving deep into the mountain’s fabric. We have counted the towering green trees of Dapingzhang that reach towards the sky, contemplated beneath the Bee God Tree, stood in solemn silence before the golden pagoda bathed in morning light, and felt a profound sense of awe as we pondered its ancient history. Ai Wen, Ai Ken, Yan Kan... familiar names and vivid faces are imprinted on our hearts. Every person we met on our trips through the tea mountains presented us with a new facet of this place. We welcomed many sunrises amidst the misty clouds from the terraces of their modern homestays, which seamlessly blend living spaces.

Over time, this tea mountain has moved from being a picturesque rural landscape to a place of refuge within our hearts. Bit by bit, these experiences have resonated like echoes, much like those heard in an echo chamber, responding to the glittering lights of the city. This is the bond that the editors… -

Ji’an Suichuan: In the Mist of Tea
Mom's younger sister is middle-aged now, her thick black hair streaked with silver. Her voice, when calling out to her children, is strong and powerful, tinged with the wear and tear of time. Grandma, smiling warmly, like many other women who pick tea, has long since melded into the tea mountains. That tea affair, that long-haired girl drinking tea, who would remember any of it? It only appears in my mind, transformed and shifting, that smile like a spring breeze through the forest. The tea-picking aunt is elderly now, suffering from rheumatism, her hands shaking as she walks alone around the house. Grandpa, who used to make tea, is skin and bones; he no longer has the strength to stand by the large iron wok and stir-fry a pot of handmade tea for his children and grandchildren, much less go out to attend a tea event. This man who loved socializing and kept up appearances, after a serious illness, his face turned the color of tea. He gasped for breath and waved his hand, unwilling to eat meals at the same table as his children and grandchildren. Sometimes, getting out of bed required Dad's help. He took the food cooked… -
