Is Darjeeling from China what is the difference between Darjeeling black tea producing area and Yunnan black tea producing area?

Many people wonder how geographers look at things.

How would we talk about tea?

It's a story that starts from "the relationship between man and land".

Contains the culture and culture, with the impact of people's treatment of the environment, resulting in the sense of values of the taste of good and bad.

Darjeeling and Xishuangbanna: geographical differences and requirements for producing areas?

Darjeeling in India and Xishuangbanna in Yunnan all belong to the highlands, not only the "tea only grows hills" written in textbooks.

But the real 1000 meters above the plateau, high mountain tea, with rich pectin thick texture, starch carbohydrate accumulation of a lot of characteristics, aroma and taste of course.

However, the current situation in China is different. Most of the tea we will see in China is the development of the so-called "science and technology agriculture", especially after the economic reform and opening up.

The 1985 fire plan adds fuel to the flames, so that the tea grown in high-tech agriculture is beautiful, the fat leaf buds are nutritious, and the growth rate is fast, from two harvests to five or six harvests.

This is a symbol of modern science, the output is increased, but this practice is easy to lead to the decline of soil fertility, and the long-term taste is too single.

Therefore, in the high-end consumer market, this kind of science and technology tea is not favored, and it is also called "platform tea" to distinguish it from the primitive forest, while the shortcomings of over-production, excessive picking, excessive man-made intervention in nature and destruction of environmental balance have been paid more and more attention by the world.

Therefore, in the past ten years, we have worked hard to regard ancient tree tea as a symbol of high quality, and people began to pursue ancient tree tea and ancient tea forests that are not secondary forests. There have been tea trees in Yunnan since the period of the three Kingdoms. For thousands of years, tea trees have naturally grown with diverse flavors.

Although the latitude of Darjeeling is higher than that of Xishuangbanna, it is further north, but Darjeeling also faces the Himalayas of Zhangjia Peak in Gancheng, which is blown by cold and dry winds for a long time, full of monsoon climate, which makes the rainfall concentrated in monsoon monsoon months, and contains a lot of topography, frequent rain and thunder.

Although Yunnan itself belongs to the continental highland climate, in principle, the inland is relatively short of water, only Xishuangbanna is a special and oceanic crisscross influence area, which can almost be called a paradise without winter.

However, the overall area of Yunnan Province is vast, and not all producing areas can get stable Rain Water. Normal cloud belts are all in the position of 400 to 500 meters, but Yunnan is often close to more than 2, 000 meters of highland. When the topographic rain is over at 400 to 500 meters, it is difficult to keep moisture deep inside.
