Basic Introduction to Jianou Beiyuan Tribute Tea

Beiyuan Royal Tea (Beiyuan Tribute Tea) refers to tribute tea from the Song Dynasty, mainly produced in Jiyuanli, Jian'an County in ancient times, which is now located in Dongfeng Town, Jianou City. According to relevant written records and contemporary tea expert Chen Chuan's research, artificial tea cultivation and tea processing production already existed in Jianzhou during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (479-502 AD). By the Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan Tianbao period (713-755 AD), tea had already been abundant in Jianzhou, and tea production had transitioned from herbal tea to steamed green tea. According to the "Huamanlu", during the Tang Dynasty's Zhenyuan period (785-804 AD), Chang Gun served as the Fujian Observation Commissioner and the Governor of Jianzhou. He oversaw the reform of tea making techniques in Jianzhou, grinding and pressing steamed green tea leaves into tea cakes, and creating paste tea, commonly known as "sliced tea". Because there was a small hole in the middle of the tea cake that was easy to carry with a rope, it was also called "string tea". The famous product of Yan Gao tea is called "Purple Bamboo Shoots", also known as "Fragrant Wax Slices" (a type of sliced tea with added wax noodles), which has gained a reputation throughout the country. In the late Zhenyuan period, tea cultivation was quite common in the Jian'an Mountains, and many tea growers and some "tea roasting landlords" who made a fortune by running tea gardens emerged. Zhang Tinghui from Jian'an Jiyuan was a prominent one. In the late Tang Dynasty, Jian'an Yangao tea began to enter the upper class society and was listed as an annual tribute by local officials

How did the history of Jianou North Garden tribute tea come about

"Qingbo Magazine" recorded: "The Miyun Dragon was first made, and every year the head was raised to pay tribute. In addition to providing jade and food for the ancestral temple, there were very few gifts and servants, but the Qi family was close, and the Beggar's gifts were particularly abundant. Emperor Xuanren was disturbed by the gift of the Miyun Dragon by the Beggar, and exclaimed, 'Let's not build Miyun Dragon in Jianzhou from now on.' However, his reputation grew even greater. The most exquisite and peak of Beiyuan Tuan Cha was during the Xuanhe period (1119-1121) when Zheng Kejian served as the Fujian Transport Commissioner and began producing Silver Thread Xiaoya, also known as Longtuan Shengxue. Tuan Cha was divided into 43 varieties, including the five categories of fine colors (Trial New, Gongxin, Longtuan Shengxue, Wushou Ya, and Taiping Jiarui). There are 31 varieties of coarse colors, including Xiaolong Xiaofeng, Dalong Dafeng, Bu Nao Shangpin, Dongya Xiaolong, Bu Nao Xiaofeng, Bu Nao Dafeng, and Bu Nao Xiaofeng. Especially in front of the Five Principles Society of Fine Color (Awakening of Insects), the buds were harvested ten days ago, and thousands of workers gathered every day to make them. Once baked, officials were quickly sent to the capital on horseback. Ouyang Xiu wrote in his poem: "Jian'an is 3500 miles away, and the capital tastes new tea in March. The Longfengtuan tea produced by Beiyuan Royal Baking is exquisitely crafted, of noble quality, and luxuriously packaged, with a value of up to 40 taels per cake, unparalleled in the world. Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, praised in his "Treatise on Grand View Tea": "The prosperity of this dynasty is due to the construction of streams and the tribute of dragons and phoenixes, which are renowned throughout the world. Zhou Jiang's "Supplement to Tea Classic" records: "The tea in the world is built to be the best, and the North Garden is also built to be the best
