The Zhengshan race is known as the Zhengshan race of the earliest black tea in the world. How many people know its delicacy? Have you ever been frustrated by the smell of smoke after drinking? Was it smoky black tea that fascinated Princess Catherine a long time ago? Real longan tea has a very strong dried longan aroma. This is not like the sweet exotic aroma of tea, this is Zhengshan race black tea that set off a revolution in European tea culture. We went to China several times in order to get the real thing. The tea finally found is the authentic product of Xingcun Rent Tongmu Village, which is almost difficult to buy now. Is loved as Imperial Tea, the same as before Lapu Mountain Suchuan. Direct drinking, mixing with other teas, milk tea, etc., let the guests choose. Why do you use Wuyi rock tea to make black tea? The name Wuyi rock tea comes from Wuyi rock tea. Originally a wild variety called race in Yanshan, Fujian Province, it is the raw material of high-quality Wuyi rock tea (oolong tea). In the record, the name of race Suchong of 1734 has been recorded. Remarks: Wuyi rock tea is a kind of oolong tea representing China, and it still produces all kinds of famous tea. At that time (1604), the Zhengshan race was traded as a high-priced drug by Dutch merchants, who monopolized trade in Europe. Then, in 1669, Britain first began to import Zhengshan race black tea on a commercial scale. Trade is monopolized by the East India Company, tea as a high-priced drink, with the British court as the center is widely used. When Charles II married Princess Catherine of Portugal in 1662, the princess brought her favorite Zhengshan race from her country. It is said that it is her enthusiasm for the Zhengshan race that makes this tea soar in popularity in the UK. Since then, Zhengshan race, as a very luxurious drink (tea) representing China, has been loved by the British royal family. Why do you use Wuyi rock tea to make black tea? During the Qing Dynasty (1850-1864), China was in a very unstable situation. When the army marched towards Xingcun town, it was stationed in the teahouse. There are many farmers in Xingcun town engaged in the cultivation and processing of oolong tea, so there are many teahouses. At that time, farmers carried out the process of natural withering → shaking green (semi-fermented) →, and drying was carried out in teahouses on the street. As a result of the army invasion, the teahouse workers put the tea aside and fled to the mountains, leaving wet tea in bags. After the army left, when the people came back, the tea turned brown and exuded a unique aroma. Tea leaves placed in a warm and humid environment will slowly oxidize and brown.) However, the people in the teahouse did not dry the tea immediately. On that day, farmers brought in a steady stream of fresh tea, enough to meet the needs of drying equipment. People who don't want to waste tea stir-fry tea in a pan to make it dry, while burning pine, raising the room temperature and shortening the drying time. In this area, the most common pine trees are used as firewood. As a result, the tea absorbed the aroma of tobacco and essential oil, and the final product emitted an unprecedented wonderful aroma, which is an epoch-making tea. When this kind of tea was introduced in Fuzhou, it attracted the attention of foreign traders. After that, it also attracted great attention in Europe, and eventually even became a tribute to the British royal family, and its popularity continued to accelerate. At that time, people who saw black tea for the first time were surprised by the glossy black color of Lapu mountain tea, which was called Wu-Cha. This is the etymology of the English name Black Tea of black tea. In addition, because the water color is red after making tea, it is called black tea in China. I inherited this title in Japan. But in the place of origin, this kind of black tea uses a small race (Xiao-zhong) of tea, so it is called race black tea. At that time, Min-Nan-speaking Fukienese, who engaged in tea production and trade, called it Suchong when they first introduced races of black tea in Fuzhou, where Fujian's main trading port is located. In addition, because this kind of tea is produced in Tongmu area, it is called Tongmu race, and it is derived from Xingcun town, which is the gathering place of tea, and is called Xingcun race.

However, with the popularity of small black tea, people take "aged tea" or "tea made with other kinds" to Xingcun town, reprocess it with "tobacco flavor", and sell low-quality tea in the name of small black tea. But these only have the smell of tobacco and are of poor quality, so they are called tobacco races (xing Village Xiao-zhong). "smoke" means the smell of smoke. In addition, there are similar black tea production in other regions. The production staff of high-quality black tea races differentiate their own products. Nei-shan xiao-zhong is called (Tongmu Village is the deepest part of Wuyi, that is to say, the inner part of the mountain is for position). During the Qing Dynasty, Fujian dialect (Minnan dialect) pronounced "Nei" as Lap, so the Neishan race was called Minnan Minnan. In addition, tea made in other areas is called Waishan race. The real producers of Neishan race black tea, in order to distinguish their own "real tea", use "positive" instead of "Nei". In other words, from the inner mountain race to the Zhengshan race. In this way, the name Zhengshan race was born.
