The origin of Xinyang Maojian?

During the Tang Dynasty, the development of tea production began to enter a prosperous period. Xinyang has become a famous tea area, and the quality of the tea produced is high, and Xinyang Maojian is no exception. In the early years of the Republic of China, with the rapid development of processing technology, the production process of Maojian was gradually improved and perfected. Xinyang Tea District produces local Maojian tea, officially named "Xinyang Maojian". In 1915, at the Panama International Exposition, Xinyang Maojian won the gold medal.

Where is Xinyang?

Xinyang, which belongs to the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, is located in the southernmost part of Henan Province and the northern part of the Jiangbei tea area in my country. As a tea-producing area in the north, the growth cycle is long, and the picking time will be slightly later than that of southern green tea. Here the mountains are ups and downs, the vegetation is rich, the rainfall is abundant, the clouds and mists are filled, and the air is humid. Tea gardens are distributed at an altitude of about 200 meters. Although the altitude is not high, it is located at the geographical boundary between the north and the south. The temperature difference between day and night is large, which is very conducive to the growth of tea trees.
