Extended data
Hubei is the hometown of "Cha Sheng" Lu Yu and "tea ancestor" Shennong. Lu Yu's Tea Classic records that "tea is a drink, which originated from Shennong and was heard in Duke Zhou of Lu." The author of The Book of Tea is Lu Yu of the Southern Song Dynasty. This sentence comes from the book and should be the author's own narrative. Tea, as a kind of drink in people's life, began in Shennong, but it was not until Duke Zhou of Lu that it was carried forward and spread. The legend about Shennong shows the clue of the origin of tea drinking, and can also prove Shennongjia's long history and profound cultural background as a tea producing area. There are still wild tea trees growing in the original deep forests of Shennongjia.
Since ancient times, mountains and clouds have produced good tea. The high altitude mountain area is filled with clouds, and the quality of tea trees receiving solar radiation and light is different from that of the flat land. Air, temperature, light and soil have far-reaching effects on the growth and quality of tea trees. He Baoyan said that Shennongjia forest area is rich in natural resources, and the concentration of negative oxygen ions reaches 6.5438+0.6 million per cubic centimeter.
Diffuse light, fog and mist, and large temperature difference between day and night are beneficial to the internal circulation of nutrients in tea trees, and to the accumulation and storage of nutrients such as tea polyphenols, amino acids and pectin in tea trees. In addition, the roots of tea trees in mountainous areas are developed, and effective substances are deposited on the leaves, which makes the tea taste mellow.
In order to improve the cleanliness of tea and retain more effective components, Shennong Qifeng pioneered the "atomization cleaning technology before picking 16- 18 hours". Tea leaves grow on tea trees, which are washed directly, and impurities such as floating dust, pesticide residues, bird droppings, eggs and so on are removed by spraying equipment.
At present, Shennong Qifeng Tea has seven national trademarks, including Shennong Qifu, Yan Di Qifeng and Qingtianpao, 16 patent achievements, two national invention patents and 660 mu of core tea garden. There are Kaijun Tea Professional Cooperative, Cooperative Association Muguayuan Tea Professional Cooperative, radiation 1000 tea farmers, and more than 4,000 acres of tea gardens. It is the tea garden base and production base in Shennongjia forest area.
