Basic Introduction to Mengku Icelandic Tea

Mengku Icelandic (also known as "Bing Island" by locals) is a famous ancient tea producing village in Shuangjiang County, Lincang City. It is famous for producing large leaf Icelandic tea and is one of the earliest places in the county where tea trees were artificially cultivated. Icelandic tea is a major component of the famous Mengku large leaf tea, and Icelandic villages are the main source of Mengku tea. The history of this tea industry is long, with written records dating back to the Ming Dynasty (around 1485), while legends without written records predate the Ming Dynasty. There are different theories about the origin of Icelandic tea: one is that it was introduced by the local chieftain "Ban Na Gu Cha Shan", and the other is that it was introduced from other places

There are many large tea trees in Iceland village, which can be seen everywhere from the roadside to the back mountain of the village. Most of these tea trees are concentrated in front of and behind the houses of farmers, and tea picking does not require a long journey. Some tea trees are assigned to be tied to ropes for drying clothes or to tie livestock as public servants. In a tea field, I saw a group of tea farmers digging and cultivating seeds for old tree tea. There were dozens of ancient tea trees in the field

Mengku Icelandic ancient tree Pu'er tea has a long-lasting aftertaste effect, bright soup color, soft and symmetrical leaf base, and a stronger and more delicate sweetness compared to the tea king "Lao Ban Zhang". Many women prefer Iceland more. Observing its soup, the color is uniform, bright, and thick as oil; Taste it, with many variations and lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth; After drinking, the honey fragrance in the teacup is strong and cannot dissipate the leaves of life for a long time

How did the history of Mengku Icelandic tea come about

When it comes to Iceland today, anyone who knows a little about tea is familiar with it. However, the situation was far from that when the Mengkurong clan's Rong Jia Sheng established the initial tea making plant. Iceland was located in a remote area with difficult roads, and foreign merchants rarely came here to purchase tea, and tea could not be sold at high prices. Later, the initial tea making plant in the Icelandic village of Ba Ka was burned down by a fire, and the number of people coming here to collect tea became even fewer and fewer

The leaders in Shuangjiang County saw that Rong Jiasheng had restored other initial systems very well, so they approached him and hoped that he would take over the Iceland Baka initial system that was destroyed by the fire. As early as childhood, Rong Jiasheng's father often told him that the Icelandic Ancient Tea Mountain is the birthplace of Mengku large leaf tea. The tea tree has a history of hundreds of years and was a special tea supply for Dai chieftains in ancient times. During the planned economy period, Icelandic villages did not receive enough attention due to low production. At that time, one pound of fresh leaves of Icelandic tea could only be sold for 80 cents, but he was very firm in the quality of Icelandic tea. Out of the trust of his leaders and his ideals, he contracted this small initial establishment, which was also the first private initial establishment in Iceland after the reform and opening up

When he arrived in Iceland, he paid medical insurance for every villager and connected the village to electricity. He also invested 1.58 million yuan to build a road leading down the mountain. There is still a monument at the entrance of Iceland Village, which was built by the villagers to express gratitude for their kindness. Later, he applied to register the "Iceland" trademark, but the Trademark Office ruled that because "Iceland" is a national name, he also missed out on the "Iceland" brand
