Time has come in the early summer and it's getting hotter. However, in quanan and kim chai counties in anhui province, throughout the tea-producing areas of the “six cucumber tablets”, the tea farmers, men and women, are still fighting for a second to pick their leaves early and greedyly, and do not see anything that will stop
It is surprising that my home is not far from here, but also a place to produce high-quality green tea, which is known to have ended more than a week ago. What difference does it make to a tea tree
“the variety of tea trees does not differ, except for the fact that the `six cucumber tablets' require different leaves, starting to pick late and stopping to pick late. This is one of the important reasons why it is better than other green teas.” at the time of the interview, yang, deputy director of the san city agricultural council, explained the situation。
A lot of literature
The “six cucumber tablet” is a fine piece of green tea. For more than 100 years, china's “ten teas” have been in the forefront, even though several agencies have evaluated several versions。
In fact, the history of tea is much longer. The han-tang has been documented and repeated. Tang dynamite's tea book is written in “six teas”. Suh guangqi, a scientist of the ming generation, said in the agricultural policy book that “the tea of the six ans is the best of tea”. Li dongyang, xiao shing, li shi suk-suk, who is a man of ming dynasty university, even more so, are bragging:
Seven bowls of fresh wind from 6 annes, and each of them comes to poetry。
The sprouts sprung out of the ground, and the fire broke during the night。
It's the last of the old lu yu, and he's drunk。
When will you be able to retest the zhumbun phoenix。
The designation of “six cucumbers” as “gang tea” began in ming dynasty and jingyang in 36 years (1557 a. D.) until the time of the bing dynasty. It has been recorded in history that the jubilee was awarded a monthly ration of 14 “measles” of tea only after having given birth to his son, the late co-patriarch。
From “six teas” to “six teas”, a process of succession, development, evolution and improvement, experts believe that, as a follow-up show, the completion of the “six cucumbers” should take place at the beginning of the early part of tomorrow, some 300 years ago。
The “six cucumbers” are also written in a number of literary works. The golden bottle, for example, had been highly rated, while the red house dream had more than 80 references。
The first prime minister of the republic, zhou en, came with a special interest in the “six cucumbers”. Only in the spring of 1939, when visiting the new four armaments in changnan, was it possible to drink the “six cucumber tablets”, which were very entertaining, which could never be forgotten. At the end of 1975, the condition had deteriorated to a point where he was often in a coma, and before his death, he had brought in “six cucumber tablets” specifically for his own benefit. During his tenure as president of the state, li also recommended “six cucumbers” to the city of red an, hubei province, and asked them to send a team to san to learn how to produce “guacamole” tea。
In 1971, united states secretary of state kissinger visited china for the first time, and in 2007 then-president hu jintao visited russia with a “six aguas” gift from the chinese government。

“ming jian jian said in his "runshan ink 9" that `six teas are the best in the world'. I agree with him that the "six melons" are the best green tea in the world."
Listening to yang's clever and daring statement, i was surprised: "you, and the ancient man, are very brave, but is there a basis?"
“of course there are, and there are many.” yang, with his finger on his finger, said, “this is the first reason for having a unique geographical environment.”
First, the northernmost tea area is better than the south. The origin of the “six cucumber tablets” is mainly in the quanan area of the city of san, as well as in parts of the towns of quan, kim-cai, hoshan and shu city. The tea park covers approximately 300,000 acres and produces around 10,000 tons of “six cucumber tablets” annually, of which quanan produces more than 70 per cent. In addition to this, there are many well-known teas produced on the land of kansai, such as the yellow sprouts of mount ho, the orchids of shu city, the golden twilight, the silver twilight of the mountain, and so on, locally known as the “five golden flowers”。
This area is located in the north-east of mount pyramid, between 31°04 and 51° n. Up north, no tea. Generally, the higher the latitude, the lower the temperature, the greater the temperature difference between day and night. It is consistent with the habit that the tea tree is afraid of being positive, with a natural increase in life and a corresponding increase in the content of tea polyphenol and amino acid. This is very helpful in improving the quality of fresh leaves。
Second, the mountain ring ying-ho's show. The local tea farmers used to divide the “six cucumbers” into inner and outer mountains. The country's “measures” are produced in the villages of quishan in the county of qinxiang, hungtian, zhui zhui zhuang, zhou an's twin peaks, qishan, qi yishan, zhuo zhuo zhuo, etc. These sites averaged about 700 metres above sea level, some more than 800 metres; mountain valleys were deep, streams were dense, cliffs were steep, and wood and onions were symbiotically symbiotically symbiotically symbiotically with fruit and bamboo, making the “six melon slices” produced here fratricidal. Of these, “tips of tea” produced in the area of the bat caves in qiuixian county are usually considered to be the best of “measles”. This is in addition to the production of “measles” from the outer mountains, which are dominated by low hills and hills of about 300 metres above sea level。
The third is the control of the yangtze. The production area of the “six cucumbers” is dominated by the river basin and part of the yangtze basin. There's plenty of water and good water. There are seven major rivers in the country, namely, the river zhu, the river shi and the river hangport. In the 1950s, the largest artificial irrigation zone in the country was built by the construction of the buddha ridge, the mills, the hattered hungtian, meishan, the passage of the long river and the white lotus cliff six reservoirs. Water grids are dense, cloudy, wetter and radiant, which greatly facilitates the accumulation of nutrients in tea。
Qing dynasty has a poet in wing-an, who says:
Southeast of the barrier
Six is not like another state。
This is a great show
We'll take care of it。
The “six cucumber tablets”, unique to the spirit of the heavens and the earth, are already at the source of the death。
"old" is the best
In the course of the interview, every place that arrived, the owner always made a cup of the new marketed “six cucumber tablet”. Once, yang suddenly asked me, "did you find anything special about this tea?"
“oh, really! Not only does it taste different, but tea and tea and soup are different from the green tea you used to drink.”
Yang's bright nod: "unique appearance, this is the second reason why the "six cucumbers" are particularly good."
The first one, which is neither contained nor sprouted. The “six cucumber tablets” are just leaves, which are called “measles” because they are shaped like pumpkins, and they are just like strips cut into pieces. Because of the timing of the extraction, some are also referred to as “discretion” or “pie”. In terms of quality, the film is preceded by the melon, which is in the middle, behind the plum. This is unique in all the tea. In fact, tea stubbles are poorly nourished, and when they are baked with high temperatures, they become woody, which is the source of the bitterness and smell of tea leaves. It's too young, and when it's made, the stove is a little bit bigger and the temperature is a little bit higher, and there's a cathedral. As a result, the “six cucumber tablets” have been cast out of the sprouts, so that the tea does not feel bitter, odourous or odour。
Two, the leaves are big and old. There is a common denominator between the requirements of green teas of all kinds for fresh leaves, which are small, one leaf or two leaves, and are referred to in circles as “one flag and one flag and two guns”. However, the “six cucumber tablet” is different and requires that the leaves grow larger, fatter, older, that is to say, that they will not begin to be picked until the new leaf has grown to a bud of three or four, forming the “open face”. Thus, even in the same area and in the same tea park, “six cucumber tablets” take leaves about half a month later than other green teas. The best nodes are before and after the rain. In fact, it is only when tea grows to this point that it is basically mature and its contents are enriched。
Two pots and three fires for the savages
Would it be possible to make high-quality tea with high-quality leaves
Yang asked himself: “it is not clear that the `six cucumber tablets' have become a principal tea, separate from its special manufacturing process. This is the third reason.”
With regard to the “six cucumber tablets” production process, there are seven processes and 10 processes. However, according to my summary, the basic process is five, which can be simplified in two parts, the former being a setup and the latter being a bakery. As for the others, there are peripherals, such as the requirement to pick fresh leaves; there are auxiliary ones, such as “crushes”, which classify the recovered leaves and pick out tea sprouts and sprouts, and now more and more tea farmers only start picking leaves; and there are transitions
First of all, two pots. In a tea factory in the mountains of yu'an's stone shop, we had the privilege of visiting the production process of the “six melons”. First, a teamaker will prepare about 50 grams of fresh leaves, which will fall into a slant tea pot of about 25 degrees, and, as the turn of the beam (a tea tool) turns around, the leaves will sound like a sesame sound; then, in a minute or two, the soft, darker leaves will be transferred to the next one and the next one will take over。
The chief of the tea office in yuan district who accompanied the interview explained that the previous process, known as the “cooking pan”, could not be less than 120 degrees celsius, the main purpose of which was to kill the green and remove the grass and demand a perusal; the latter was called the “cooking pan”, which was mainly plastic and dry and could be reduced to between 90 and 100 degrees celsius. At the end of the course, the key is fire temperature and shape. After the “two pots”, the amount of tea is reduced to no more than 30 per cent。
And then pull the three fires. These are: lashing fire, pulling fire, pulling old fire, three stages of the baking chain。
The puddle, which is soaking wet, is made of bamboo in the shape of a broad hat, and is put into tea leaves of about 1. 5 kg. Charcoal fire does not smell smoke, and the temperature is about 100°c, which is to be reversed once in two or three minutes, bringing it to about 80% dry. It's not less than 10 hours cold。
When a small fire is pulled, two or three kilograms of tea per cage shall rise to about 120 degrees, with two cadavers to be replaced with a lighter flip to avoid fragmentation and 90% dry. It was then suspended for three to five days to allow the remaining water in the leaves to be released fully, in the professional term “retired”。
It's also called a fire or "cook." at this time, a fire of dozens of pounds of charcoal, high and high fire, with a high level of fire of up to 160°c - 180°c; the cages have been transformed into large sizes, with about 10 kg of tea each time, with two teamakers holding the cages for two to three seconds, moving under the carbon fire and flipping once; the key point of the expert's advice is that the cages should be lifted quickly, the tea should be smooth, the cages should be flat, the feet should be steady and the cages should be light; such actions need to be repeated more than 140 times, lasting about 40 minutes, until a white frost appears on the tea leaf surface。
After this process, which is also crucial, the whole process of making the “six cucumber tablets” is almost over, and it's like the shape of a piece of melon, the colours of the green, the clear soup of the yellow, the scent of the cuisine's nose, the taste of fresh alcohol back to sweet。
Zhang ying, a university student in chiang dynasty, wrote a book called "six antiguas" which compared “nomads” to "sweets". In his tea, the recent scribe liang sumiqi said, "how can this be formed when friends have come from six months to make me a small, large green, and drinkers have wild air?" from the unique selection and production process of the “six cucumber tablet”, it is easy to find its associated “genetics”。
I want a brand
Since the establishment of the new china, the “six cucumber tablets” have entered a new stage of development, traditional production processes have been restored and improved, tea quality has been further improved and many honours have been awarded, including the designation “old chinese title” given by the ministry of commerce, which has been incorporated by the ministry of culture into the national list of “intangible cultural heritage” and, as mentioned earlier, many of the country's top ten teas have been selected. However, a new problem, namely the serious overdrafting of brands, has arisen in due course. The market is distorted, the fish dragons are mixed, and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to figure out what is a “measure” and what is a “measure”。
When zhou en drank the "six cucumbers" of the year, he praised it as the "guilty" that was given to us by the mount of pyle! Today, how can the reputation of this historic brand be preserved and made more widely accepted and accepted
“we, the city of six, have become aware of this problem and have put in place policies and measures accordingly.” “the basic spirit of the interview was to support the backbone, foster the lead, write about branding, industrialization, standardization and scale, and integrate business and historical brands”
In this context, anhui province's quangu tea company, inc., was established in 2002 as the first provincial lead agricultural industrial chemical company, and the “six” tea industry is their brand. The deputy general manager of the company, xuehong, believed that the quality of the “six cucumber tablets” produced should be guaranteed, first and foremost, by turning off good raw materials. To this end, they have strengthened their bases, with 20,000 acres of eco-cafés; led the establishment of the “six agua tea industry professional cooperative”; and selected well-reputable producers and producers for the purchase of tea. No fresh leaves and tea of unknown origin are purchased from the market. The second is to turn the technology off. They have established close cooperation with the anhui university of agriculture in the field of productive sciences, and have successfully developed a clean, mechanized production line for “six cucumber tablets”, obtaining a number of provincial scientific and technological achievements and functional patents and patents on inventions。
This company is now the country's largest supplier of “six cucumber tablets”, producing 300 tons of dry tea of all types per year, with a value of over 100 million yuan. It is worth mentioning that the “six cucumber tablet” national tea is produced by the company. They are particularly proud of this。
