Tea is born in the embrace of nature, gathered from the essence of heaven and earth, absorbing the vitality of the sun and moon. From green leaves to the final transformation into the "green" fragrance on one's palate, tea and its green origins are inseparable. To thoroughly explore the essence of Pu'er tea production processes such as killing the green and sun-drying, the transformation from fresh leaves to finished product is far more meticulous and sophisticated than one might imagine. Today, let's delve into the production process of Pu'er tea. Wilted Fresh Leaves In the morning mist of tea regions, just as the fog begins to dissipate, tea farmers are already busy in the fields. Red sunlight filters through the misty clouds, draping everything in a golden veil. The dewdrops on the green tea leaves wet the gloves of the pickers. The freshly picked leaves are bright green and very tender. They need to be set aside to air dry patiently. As time passes, the water content within the leaves is gradually evaporated by the scorching sun, and the once taut tea stems become limp and lie on the ground. This process is known as airing, the first step of…

Ancient tree tea is expensive not only because of its considerable age and deep roots but also due to its unpolluted, natural environment which gathers the essence of heaven and earth, thus nurturing the unique aroma and taste of ancient tree tea. Why is Ancient Tree Pu'er Tea so Expensive? ① High Cost of Manual Harvesting The ancient tea trees in Yunnan are tall with many branches. Fresh leaves grow on the tips and ends of branches, making manual harvesting time-consuming and labor-intensive. It takes a long time to harvest one large ancient tea tree, and there is some risk involved, so the wages for tea pickers are relatively high. Moreover, most tea farmers allow their ancient tea trees enough time to rest by only harvesting them during the spring and autumn seasons, resulting in a limited quantity of tea, which naturally drives up the price due to scarcity. ② Traditional Handcrafted Processing Techniques Good tea processing techniques are crucial for producing high-quality ancient tree Pu'er tea, and only by carefully controlling each step can excellent tea be made. For example, temperature control during the initial steaming process, the force used in kneading, and the pressure applied when forming cakes...…

Today, Bingdao tea has become a calling card for the Mengku tea region and even the entire Lincang tea area. Under the influence of Bingdao's famous teas, villages like Dongguo, Xiaohusai, Dijie, Molie, and Zhengqitang, among others, are increasingly recognized. The value of tea, ecology, and geography in the Mengku tea region continues to be discovered and showcased. This feature article will delve into the people and teas that have prospered due to Bingdao. Mengku's Eighteen Villages To understand the Mengku tea region, start with "two mountains flanking a river." The two mountains are Ma'anshan and Bangma Mountain, both running north to south. Between them lies the river known locally as the Mengku River or the Nanmeng River. On this river stands the Nanding Reservoir, now also called "Bingdao Lake." The entire Mengku tea region is divided by the Nanmeng River, leading us to focus on the East Half Mountain and West Half Mountain of Mengku. Geographically, the people of Mengku traditionally use the Nanmeng River as a boundary, referring to the eastern Ma'anshan as the East Half Mountain and the western Bangma Mountain as the West Half Mountain. Many visitors initially struggle with orientation, leading to practical sayings like…

In the "world" of Pu'er tea, 8582 is like a reclusive master with unparalleled skills—his name is well-known, yet few have seen his true form. But whenever he appears, he commands attention, and those in the know can recognize him at first glance, thanks to his unique mark—the "Purple Heaven." Both 8582 and its sibling 8592 were born in 1985. Among Yunnan Seven Sons cakes, they stand out. While both hail from Menghai Tea Factory, they are exclusively custom-made for a Hong Kong-based trader—Nantian Trading Company. Because the purple "Heaven" character was stamped on their wrapping paper, a practice unprecedented at the time, these teas are commonly known as "Purple Heaven Cakes." The Purple Heaven Cakes now sell for over 100,000 RMB per cake, and various accounts related to them abound, often leaving people unsure of what to believe. Recently, our editorial team interviewed Chang Jinqiang, the former manager of the Specialized Tea Department at Yunnan Provincial Tea Import and Export Corporation, who witnessed the birth and export of 8582 and 8592 to Hong Kong. He shared stories about the legendary history of these Purple Heaven Cakes. The Beginnings and Endings of 8582/8592 Image The birth of the Purple Heaven…

The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year in our country and also the day when yin energy is at its peak. After the Winter Solstice, sunlight gradually increases, yin energy slowly decreases, and the daytime becomes progressively longer. Therefore, the Winter Solstice is a very special day. It is an important solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar and a traditional Chinese festival, commonly known as "Winter Festival," "Festival of the Longest Night," and "Sub New Year," among others. In ancient China, great importance was placed on the Winter Solstice, which was considered a significant holiday, with the most emphasis on winter tonics. Thus, many people would eat and drink well on this day. People believe that after the Winter Solstice, daylight hours become longer each day, yang energy begins to rise, marking the start of a new seasonal cycle and a lucky day that should be celebrated. Winter Solstice Health Preservation Since "Qi begins at the Winter Solstice," from winter onwards, vital activities transition from flourishing to waning and from dynamic to static. Scientific health preservation can help ensure vigorous vitality while preventing premature aging, contributing to longevity. During the Winter Solstice period, your diet should…

Yibang Mountain is one of the ancient six great tea mountains in Yunnan Pu'er tea and has always been an indispensable part of the ancient six great tea mountains. The mixed growth of large and small tree species, as well as the fact that Man Song became a tribute tea for the royal family during the Qing Dynasty, have all made Yibang famous in its time. Yibang Ancient Tea Mountain is known as “Molai” Yibang in Dai language, which means "tea well." It is located in Xiangming Township, Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province, or the northernmost part of Mengla County. To the east lies the ancient Yiwu Tea Mountain, to the south, the ancient Manzhuan Tea Mountain, and to the west, the ancient Gedeng Tea Mountain. Yibang Mountain had already established tea gardens by the early Ming Dynasty. From the fourth year of the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Yibang was the political center and administrative headquarters of the six great tea mountains. During its heyday, hundreds of baskets of Pu'er tea offered as tribute were mainly from Yibang, marking the start of Pu'er tea's reputation. I.…

Litchi, also known as lychee, is loved for its sweet and fragrant flesh. The entire fruit is a treasure trove of medicinal value. For instance, litchi seeds can help regulate qi flow, dispel cold and stagnation, and relieve pain. Litchi shells are known to alleviate heatiness in the body to some extent. A lady's laughter through a cloud of red dust; none would know it was due to litchis coming—Du Mu, "Passing by Huaqing Palace (Three Quatrains, First)" Eat three hundred litchis daily, I would not mind being a southerner forever—Su Shi, "Eating Litchis" In May in the south, litchis are as red as cinnabar, each one round like a dragon's pearl—Liu Zuman, "Litchi" Many tea enthusiasts also love litchis but may wonder which teas pair well with them. In fact, litchis have a strong compatibility and can be paired with many foods, producing unique effects. With tea, you can try pairing litchis with black, white, or green tea—all of which work well. Here are the benefits of combining litchis with tea: Litchi Black Tea—Beauty and Detoxification Litchis contain vitamins A, B1, and C, as well as pectin, free amino acids, proteins, and elements such as iron, phosphorus, and calcium.…

What precautions should be taken when drinking tea? Tea is closely related to our daily lives, and there are many benefits to drinking it, such as fat reduction and digestion aid. However, there are also several considerations to keep in mind to ensure that drinking tea truly promotes health. Here are some points worth noting. What to Consider When Drinking Tea Regularly 1. How Many Infusions Can a Cup of Tea Have? The number of times tea can be steeped depends not only on its tenderness but mainly on the processing method used. During initial processing, if the leaves are cut, the tea essence will be easier to extract. Conversely, coarser, older, and intact leaves release their flavors more slowly during steeping. For most green teas, the first infusion releases about 50% to 55% of the soluble substances; the second infusion typically extracts around 30%; the third yields about 10%; and the fourth provides only 1% to 3%. From a nutritional standpoint (considering vitamins and amino acids), 80% of these components are extracted in the first infusion, about 15% in the second, and by the third infusion, nearly all have been extracted. In general, black teas, green teas, and flower…

Pu'er tea is gentle and doesn’t harm the stomach. In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure lifestyle, gastric problems are common, and many people have imbalanced blood and qi or irregular eating habits. Typically, lightly fermented teas can be a concern for tea enthusiasts. Pu'er tea is a scientifically validated health beverage. Many modern individuals are working tirelessly to make money, and once the cancer-preventing and health benefits of Pu'er tea were confirmed by medical professionals, the concept of “spending a little for longevity” strengthened the faith of tea lovers and attracted many new enthusiasts. Additionally, Pu'er tea’s ability to reduce fat, aid digestion, and promote weight loss has captured the hearts of countless beauty-conscious individuals looking to maintain their figure and middle-aged individuals dealing with weight gain. Pu'er tea is easy to brew and can withstand multiple infusions. Properly aged Pu'er tea is not bitter or astringent, even after prolonged steeping. Unlike high-mountain teas that require precise timing, brewing Pu'er tea is simple and enjoyable, and it’s as convenient as using tea bags. The components in Pu'er tea inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms in the digestive system while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria (such as lactobacillus), effectively regulating gut function.…

After the great popularity of mountain-top teas in 2008, many tea enthusiasts were drawn to them. Mountain-tops like Lao Banzhang, Bingdao, Xigui, Bohe Tang, and Mansong, as leading figures in the Pu'er tea world, attracted countless admirers. Moreover, with most of the roads to the tea mountains being improved over the past few years, more people can now visit. They come to see the tea trees, experience the local culture, or even participate in the initial processing of fresh leaves... In this process, buying tea is often involved. Does it sound familiar to you? Or are you planning to do the same? Here’s a friendly reminder for tea enthusiasts: If you don’t have a good understanding of the mountain-top you plan to visit, no acquaintances to guide you, no connections with local tea farmers, and limited experience in tasting tea, then buying tea directly from the farmers might not be a wise choice. You could easily end up paying 4000 RMB per kilogram for so-called “ancient tree spring tea” from Lao Banzhang and still feel happy about it. (A little research on the actual price of Lao Banzhang ancient tree spring tea will explain why.) — Important Notes for Those…

The enchanting flavor of spring tea from ancient Pu'er trees lies in its rich and sweet aftertaste. After winter dormancy, these ancient tea trees store many nutrients, allowing the growing buds and leaves to synthesize more amino acids. The cold temperatures of winter and spring also slow down the growth of ancient tea trees, which is conducive to the formation of aromatic substances in the tea. Characteristics of Spring Tea from Ancient Pu'er Trees 1. Rich in Internal Substances Spring tea refers to tea harvested and made between the beginning of spring and the beginning of summer. Compared to summer and autumn teas, spring tea has the best quality. This is because after a winter of accumulation, the tea tree transports substances to new shoots and buds when the weather warms up in spring, making the internal content of spring tea the richest. In autumn and winter, organisms are in a state of conservation. While spring tea is resting and recuperating, it stores abundant energy. Additionally, the continuous low temperatures of spring lead to minimal consumption, resulting in even more abundant nutrients within the spring tea. At this time, the tea contains abundant vitamins, especially amino acids, which not only…

Spring is a season of vitality and growth. As the weather gradually warms, people who have grown accustomed to the cold may start to feel fatigued and drowsy. No matter how much sleep one gets, it never seems enough, leaving them listless throughout the day. This is what we commonly refer to as "spring drowsiness." "Spring drowsiness" is not a disease, but it could be an early sign of suboptimal health. Persistent "spring drowsiness" might lead to conditions such as lung yin deficiency, lung dryness and heat, phlegm dampness, hyperactivity of liver yang, or liver and kidney yin deficiency. While "spring drowsiness" is not a serious ailment, it should not be underestimated. How can one alleviate "spring drowsiness"? A cup of tea to revitalize the mind. Spring is the perfect time for drinking tea. Tea enthusiasts generally know that this season calls for more tea consumption to invigorate and refresh the mind. In traditional Chinese medicine, drinking green tea in spring is believed to dispel the cold and dampness accumulated in the body during winter. The subtle aroma of tea not only clears the mind but also promotes the generation of yang qi in the body, which can help eliminate…

Benefits and Suitable Groups for Young Citron Fruits: 1. Promoting Metabolism and Fat Reduction The peels of young citron fruits contain nobiletin, which is a promoter of carbohydrate metabolism, with anti-blood cell agglutination, antifungal, and anti-allergic effects. Human metabolism is an unconscious, staged process that varies by age, gender, and body part and occurs constantly within the body. As one ages, certain parts of the body's metabolism may slow down, requiring external assistance to…

Freshly made Pu'er spring tea contains high levels of polyphenols, aldehydes, and alcohols. These substances can strongly stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, making it easy for those with poor gastrointestinal function to experience symptoms such as dry mouth and throat, abdominal pain, and constipation after drinking it. Additionally, individuals who seldom drink tea may experience symptoms of "tea drunkenness," such as dizziness, insomnia, fatigue, sweating, and frequent urination, after consuming fresh tea. Therefore, freshly made tea needs to be stored for some time, allowing these substances to partially dissipate or oxidize, reducing the activity of caffeine, alkaloids, or aromatic compounds. This not only achieves the effects of "green color, clear broth, high fragrance, and rich flavor" but also makes the tea safer and healthier to consume. Why Should Freshly Made Pu'er Spring Tea Be Stored for a While Before It Becomes Enjoyable? From picking to becoming a finished product, Pu'er spring tea goes through more than ten tea-making processes. If the tea is not compressed into shape, then several steps are skipped; however, if it is shaped into cakes, tuos, or bricks, it must undergo steaming to soften it before being pressed into shape. Taking common Pu'er cake tea as an…

Understanding, selecting, collecting, and investing in purple clay teapots begins with attention to detail. The first is form, which refers to the shape of the teapot. This stems from a deep familiarity with design and relies on meticulous planning. One must clearly define the major "planes" of the pot, primarily the body. Each part of the pot—the spout, handle, rim, base, foot, lid, and knob—should have a clear orientation. From points and lines to planes, one must trace the origins and endings of lines, manage transitions, highlight contrasts between light and shadow, and balance solid and void spaces. Only then can one achieve depth in form. Once points, lines, and planes are well-handled, the work—its form—comes to life. The second is spirit, referring to the teapot's demeanor or the mood it conveys through its form. When creating, one should not merely explore flat surfaces but consider undulations and curves. All life springs from a central point, expanding outward, sprouting, and blossoming. Imagine the form (teapot) engaging with you, reaching out, speaking to you, expressing itself. This form embodies a powerful internal impulse. Such artwork possesses life and spirit. The third is qi, referring to the teapot's character or the inherent…

As the saying goes, preparation is key, and the beginning of autumn signals that we should prepare for the fall season. After summer, one may feel weak even without illness. Cultivating yang in spring and summer, and yin in autumn and winter, the appropriate nourishment in autumn is the best time to restore and regulate the functions of various organs in the body. Reasonable "nourishing of autumn" involves replenishing the vital energy dissipated during the hot summer, preparing the body for the storage period. Drinking tea is the best daily method to cleanse the intestines; it can eliminate fat and grease, supplement vitamins and fiber, help the intestines detoxify and peristalsis, and expel toxins accumulated in the colon. 【Tea Can Prevent and Alleviate "Autumn Dryness"】 The first sign of autumn dryness is a sore throat upon waking up in the morning, accompanied by severe nasal sensitivity, skin dryness, dry hair, colds, coughs, and nosebleeds. Plain boiled water is clearly less effective than tea in hydrating and relieving dryness, and the beneficial components in tea water can effectively alleviate and "treat" the discomfort associated with autumn dryness. Ladies who hydrate their skin in autumn cannot rely solely on applying toner; they…

How long is the shelf life of tea? How to store tea? Tea has a certain shelf life, so when purchasing, it's important to check the date. If buying loose tea, pay even more attention to its quality. Of course, proper storage later on is also very important; it should be placed in a well-ventilated, shaded, and dry area. Otherwise, even if it hasn't expired, the tea may become undrinkable due to spoilage. As a food product meant for consumption, tea naturally has a shelf life. This is indisputable, but different types of tea have varying shelf lives depending on their production methods and storage conditions. Green Tea When drinking green tea, freshness is key, so new tea can typically be consumed after being stored for half a month or a month. Green tea, being unfermented, has higher storage requirements. If not stored properly, it can turn yellow, significantly reducing its aroma and flavor. The shelf life of green tea is the shortest because it is not fermented and requires higher storage standards. Generally, at room temperature, the shelf life is about 1 year. If improperly stored, it may begin to wither and lose flavor within 8 to 9 months.…

With the recent spell of high temperatures, the air has become stiflingly hot. Have you turned on your electric fan or perhaps the air conditioner to cool off in this sultry weather? The humid climate brought about by such heat can lead to an accumulation of dampness within the body. When dampness accumulates in the body, it can cause a lack of appetite and other issues. Excessive dampness can also lead to digestive problems, which are typically addressed through dietary adjustments. Chenpi is particularly helpful for those suffering from poor digestion and loss of appetite. The Benefits of Chenpi Chenpi is a type of Chinese medicinal herb that has a pungent and slightly bitter taste and is warm in nature. It can effectively dry dampness and transform phlegm, helping to remove excess dampness from the body.

These properties make it useful for improving spleen and stomach weakness. For those who frequently consume greasy or cold foods or live in cold and damp environments, leading to excessive dampness in the body, chenpi can help regulate the spleen…

To truly understand Puer tea and enjoy the pleasure of its appreciation is not easy. It requires a significant amount of accumulated personal experience and expertise, as well as a rich knowledge base and artistic cultivation to reach the realm of Puer appreciation. For raw Puer tea, the unique production process endows it with distinctive color, aroma, flavor, qi (energy), rhythm, and realm, unlike other teas that only emphasize color, aroma, flavor, and shape. Therefore, when appreciating Puer tea, one must fully concentrate and engage all sensory organs and taste buds, as well as various cavities in the body, to perceive the aroma, qi field, qi path, rhythm, and abstract realms. One must then activate their mind to analyze and think about the conclusions perceived, and based on these conclusions, deduce the true condition of the raw material quality, processing, and storage. This allows for an evaluation of the product's strengths and weaknesses, providing a comprehensive assessment. Hence, appreciating Puer tea requires a comprehensive understanding of natural sciences, as well as life experiences, aesthetics, art, and more, to comprehend and enjoy the social, artistic, and philosophical feelings rooted in the nature of the tea.

One person, one cup of tea, a whole world unto themselves. What is savored is the tea; what becomes tranquil is the heart; what is enlightened is the Zen; what is purified is the soul. Tea, a tender leaf, carries profound cultural significance. It is not merely a beverage to quench thirst but also a spiritual anchor in Chinese life. Zen is a practice, a state of inner peace and composure. The combination of tea and Zen transforms tea into an instrument for cultivation and a means of understanding life. Tea is the spiritual bud of Zen, while Zen is the elevation of tea. The shared pursuit of both is the heart, insight, meditation, and self-cultivation. Meditating and sitting in stillness are like brewing tea, both focused on a single state of being, engaging in dialogue with oneself and one's heart. A cup of tea, a Zen moment, like the interplay of light and shadow on water and mountains, naturally coexist. In modern society, tea and Zen culture remain significant. Amidst the fast-paced lifestyle, people often feel stressed and anxious. Sipping tea can help relax the body and mind, alleviating stress. The root of human suffering lies in the inability…
