Wuyishan Dahongpao: The emperor of the Qing Dynasty paid tribute to the exquisite tea. Only the emperor had the exclusive right to enjoy it. The highest price ever, it was sold at an auction for a sky-high price of 198,000 yuan/20 grams, which is equivalent to 4.95 million yuan/jin.
How about it? Is it expensive enough? There is something even more powerful!
During the Dahongpao Festival held in Wuyi Mountain in April 2005, the price of Dahongpao was sold at 208,000 yuan/20 grams, equivalent to 5.2 million yuan/jin
About Dahongpao , the answer on the first floor is wrong:
1. Dahongpao grows on the cliff, but it is not picked by monkeys, but by people who use ladders to pick it manually;
2. Dahongpao There are only seven tea trees in Dahongpao (actually there were six tea trees originally, but it was later thought that one was transplanted), so the output of Dahongpao cannot be as large as 40 kilograms, which is just a few taels;
3. Because Dahongpao has excellent quality and extremely low yield. Therefore, the Wuyishan Tea Research Institute began to study how to expand planting very early. After the invention of the branch pressing method, the planting area of ??Dahongpao was rapidly expanded. However, it is still a very precious tea species. It is grown from the mother tree. Those propagated by pressing branches are called second-generation Dahongpao, and in sequence they are called third-generation Dahongpao, fourth-generation Dahongpao... Generally, the "real Dahongpao" that can be seen in the market is definitely from the fourth generation or later.
4. Although there are second, third, fourth, and... generations of Dahongpao, due to Dahongpao’s unique growing environment (humidity, sunshine, etc.) that is difficult to replicate, the most unique one is next to the Dahongpao tea tree. (Bat Cave), the offspring Dahongpao are not as good as the mother tree.
When it comes to the auction prices of tea, not only Wuyi Dahongpao, but also: Anhui Bat Cave Liu'an Guapian sold for more than 460,000 yuan per catty, and tea produced from 18 imperial tea trees in West Lake Longjing sold for more than 72.8 Ten thousand yuan/catty, Sichuan Mengding spring tea sold for over 980,000 yuan/catty,………….
