Which is more advanced among Phoenix single fir, Chinese cabbage or narcissus? Which tastes better?

Single fir tea tree

Single fir is a biological term. "single" means single, and "fir" means tree or shrub. According to Wikipedia, "single fir refers to the form of tea trees." Most tea trees emerge from the ground to form a cluster of branches; however, a rare Dan clump variety appears as a single trunk with higher branches. "

Once a tea tree is found to have a unique flavor, the seeds and branches will be removed and planted on a large scale. Grafting technology was later introduced to improve the quality of tea trees, to diversify their tastes, and to improve their immunity to extreme temperatures and natural disasters such as insects.

The unique single fir tea

The uniqueness of Danzong tea lies in its "mountain feeling" and "floral flavor".

"the feeling of the mountain" or "the cloud of the mountain" comes from the habitat of tea trees. Untouched by the modern world, the mountains are lush with dense forests and a layer of nutritious soil rich in various minerals. These rocks are mainly made up of easily eroded shale, which also increases the mineral content of tea. As Fenghuang Mountain is in the monsoon rain belt, with abundant rainfall, deep soil layer and dense trees, it has a water supply all the year round.

The Fenghuang Dancong tea tree grows between 360 and 1450 meters above sea level. For people above 600 meters above sea level, the "feeling of the mountain" is very obvious. The higher the altitude, the stronger the feeling.

The floral aroma of tea comes from the content of various amino acids in tea. These natural tastes are very different from jasmine tea and other scented teas.

The History of Dancong Tea

Dancong was planted as early as 900 years ago in the Song Dynasty. The locals found tea trees with beaked leaves and began to plant them with seeds. According to legend, one of the last emperors of the Song Dynasty fled the Mongols and came to Wudong Mountain. After he tasted the tea (the emperor always found some entertainment, even while on the run), he appreciated and liked the taste of the tea, so it was later called Song tea.

The she nationality originated from Fenghuang Mountain. According to research, the she nationality planted tea much earlier than in the Song Dynasty. In 766 AD, their ancestors brought the tea industry from Fujian to Zhejiang. So the oolong tea in Fujian may also be a descendant of the she nationality.

According to government records, by the Ming Dynasty, Shan Fong had become one of the main tributes of the royal family.

In modern history, Shan Zongcha has won the highest praise:

As early as the beginning of the 20th century, Phoenix daffodils (see above, different types of single-clump tea) won a silver medal at the Panama Pacific International Expo.

In 1986, Fenghuang Dancong won the first prize among 134 kinds of five kinds of tea in China.

In 2002 and 2012, Phoenix Dancong won the Gold Award for International famous Tea Competition.
