A Tea Picking Journey on the Lips

Spring, everything is reviving
The tea tree has undergone a winter of cultivation
It incorporates the sun, moon, wind and snow into its body
At this time, it breeds the best of itself
This is spring's beautiful gift to the palate

Hello, 3 month tea picking season!

Huanglongxian Tea Culture Tourism Village has 2600 acres of tea gardens
It mainly produces two major green teas, Long Jian and Long Hao
Long Hao has one bud and one leaf, white hairs are exposed
Long Jian has no leaves in the bud
The appearance is glossy, the soup color is bright green
The fragrance is long and rich, the taste is fresh and mellow
It enjoys a long-standing reputation as 'the first needle in Jiangnan'



Brew green tea in a pot
Light and delicate, small and adorable
The fragrance and aroma of spring
All of it converges here
In a tasting of a cup of clear tea
Green mountains and green waters, captured in one pot
This is the elegant style of Jiangning


Tea gardens are expected to enter the picking period in late March and early April, with an annual yield of 15 to 18 jin per acre
Xinxicui Street's 'Seven Fairy Red Oolong'
It combines the processing characteristics of red tea and oolong tea
It adopts conventional oolong methods on one hand, and on the other hand
Extend the fermentation time
Skip the killing process of oolong tea
Further deepen the fermentation degree during the kneading process
Red Oolong tea has a bright orange-red soup color


The color is like diluted red tea
It has the fruity sweetness and sweetness of red tea
But it still maintains the flavor of oolong tea
And the oolong tea's characteristic of being able to brew for a long time
Sweet and mellow taste
'Spring, before the valley rain, and hand-picked fragrant smoke'

Tea trees sprout and turn green all over the mountain
Refreshing tea fragrance surrounds the surroundings, making people intoxicated

It is also the main featured tea in the base
Among the tea trees, tea pickers are wearing masks and picking tea frantically

They are busy picking this year's first batch of spring tea

Having tea days are a good time
No matter how busy, there is always a cup of tea at hand
Besides quenching thirst, it can also soothe the heart
In a moment
Like sitting among trees and plants
Like being in green mountains and waters
