Introduction to Wuyun Quhao Tea

Wuyun Quhao Tea is produced in the high mountains of Baijiang Township, Tonglu County. It is a famous tea newly created by the Tonglu County Agricultural Bureau in 1988. Wuyun Quhao tea has a fine, tight and curly appearance, with a green and shiny color. The soup is tender and bright green, with a long-lasting fragrance and a refreshing and sweet taste. The leaves have a bright yellow green color at the bottom. Wuyun Quhao tea is harvested around Qingming Festival, selecting one bud and one leaf with more vigorous buds as the raw material, with a length of 2.5-3.0 centimeters and a weight of 4.5-6.0 grams per hundred buds. It is processed through processes such as withering, hand kneading, initial baking, shaping, shaping, and baking over low heat. When kneading, the tea leaves in the pot should be sorted into 2-3 alternating clumps

As early as the Tang and Song dynasties, the tea made in Tonglu was processed into pressed tea balls and cake tea using steaming and grinding methods. Therefore, there is a saying that goes, "Tongjun Yunshan explores the tongue of sparrows, and the rich spring water boils dragon clusters," which expresses the "height of mountains, the spirit of water, and the beauty of tea. Later, during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, the original group tea was transformed into pancake tea, thus ushering in a revolutionary change in tea making and drinking that will last forever. Tonglu's tea has also been changed to loose tea. The "Tianzun Tribute Sprout" was already a tribute during the Southern Song Dynasty. According to the "Zhejiang Famous Tea Record", the famous varieties at that time were "Fenshui Tianzun Tea" and "Tonglu Huangya Tea". Li Rihua of the Ming Dynasty once recorded in his "Notes on the Six Research Institutes" that "Tianzun Rock in Fenshui County produces the most fragrant and spicy tea, which was used as tribute during the Song Dynasty". Later, Li Rihua wrote in "Purple Peach Pavilion Miscellaneous Accessories" that "the distribution of water tribute tea is not very abundant... Recently, there have been various products produced, including bract purple, longevity eyebrows, sparrow tongue, lotus heart, top grain, willow branches, and tung silk, which have been traded back to Yuanjun, but only yellow bud tea is sold in Liaodong. In later generations, there were even more diverse names of loose tea in Tonglu County. According to Mr. Zhuang Wanfang, a contemporary tea scholar, in his book "A Brief Discussion on the History of Chinese Tea", "According to the Qing Dynasty's" Hai Ji ", there were records of tribute tea from various provinces in the early Qing Dynasty, among which Tonglu offered 12 kilograms of tribute tea." This indicates that Tonglu has always been known as the hometown of auspicious grass. Later in the early years of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (around 1875), the method of making Kung Fu black tea was introduced to Tonglu County and developed into a branch of "Yue Hong" tea. In the fourth year of the Republic of China (1915), Gu Ya tea from the narrow stream area won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition
