Mao Jian, the pride of xinyang people
Mao Jian, the pride of xinyang people.
If you have a friend of Xinyang by your side, you must know what I am talking about.
The hospitality of Xinyang people, no matter when and where, is always to first come to a cup of fine Maojian tea, and then look at you with expectation: "How is this tea, is it delicious?" ”
Watching the sharp tips of the hair slowly land in the transparent glass, stretching out the branches and leaves, gradually soaking the water out of the blue color... Are you drinking tea? It's the spring light of Xinyang!
When the tea leaves are brewed, the fresh herbal fragrance is mixed with the seemingly innocent chestnut fragrance and orchid fragrance, which is simply a double enjoyment of sight and smell.
Tea entrance, "a bowl of throat kissing, two bowls of broken and lonely", tea sweet and smooth tongue into the throat, tea fall tongue root slightly raw.
After a few moments, the sweetness of the return is exhausted, and the aroma of the hair tip fills the mouth...
Whenever this happens, I will silently have a kind of sigh in my heart, "Ho Tak Ho Neng, let them entertain me with such a good tea".
Under the behavior of Xinyang friends who "inadvertently planted willows" several times, I ate this wave of Amway.
From then on, every spring, I had to count the days and beg him to send new tea from his hometown.
And for my Xinyang friend, no matter where he goes, there will always be a transparent glass and a bag of Xinyang hair tips in the suitcase.
I once saw a joke: "Are you always ready to give people Amway you shin yang hair tip?" ”
Only to see him look at me with an "incredible" expression: "We still need Amway for Maojian tea?" I drank it myself. ”
After he reminded me, I suddenly remembered that there was a partner of Xinyang before, and everyone went out to dinner. Halfway through the meal, he specially handed the Maojian tea he had brought to the waiter and asked the other party to brew it.
Then he explained to us: "No way, get used to it, you can't eat without this tea, just so everyone can taste it." ”
No matter where the Xinyang people go, they never hesitate to introduce Maojian tea to others.
High-speed rail station or railway station, if you see a person particularly unobtrusive in the glass, tea and water five five open, do not ask, nine times out of ten is Xinyang people.
If the other party is a Xinyang person, there is no need to ask what tea is in the cup, 100% Xinyang Maojian.
Of course, it is not for no reason that Xinyang people have such confidence in their own MaoJian.
Hairy tip, it comes with!
Xinyang Mao tip
With the pride of the People of Xinyang
Xinyang has a long history of tea production.
In 1987, archaeologists found tea leaves in ancient tombs excavated in Gushi County.
This ancient tomb belongs to the Warring States period, so the history of tea production in Xinyang can be traced back at least more than 2300 years.
During the Tang Dynasty, the tea saint Lu Yu compiled the "Tea Classic", which divided the tea-producing areas of the country into eight tea areas, and Xinyang was divided into Huainan Tea District.

In the Song Dynasty, the great writer Su Dongpo even issued an exclamation of "Huainan Tea Xinyang First".
Of course, at this time, Xinyang did not have the word "Mao Jian".
The term "MaoJian" first appeared in the late Qing Dynasty. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, due to excessive tea taxes, the Tea Industry in Xinyang declined for a while, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, eight major tea houses appeared in Xinyang.
These eight tea houses reclaimed tea mountains, planted tea trees, improved the maojian stir-frying process, and made many contributions to the tea industry in Xinyang.
Under its influence, at the beginning of the 20th century, Xinyang Maojian formed its own unique style.
The shape is round and thin, the light is straight and white, the smell is fresh and elegant, the aroma is high, the taste is fresh and sweet, the mouth is sweet and long, and the tea soup is clear and clear.
Such a good tea won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition in 1915, and the gold medal was also won by Guizhou Moutai.
In 1990, in the national appraisal, Xinyang Maojian brand achieved the first place in the comprehensive quality of green tea, so it was known as the "king of green tea".
In 2007, Xinyang Maojian Mining Technique was also approved as the first batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage, and in 2014, "Xinyang Maojian Traditional Mining Technique" was successfully selected into the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Project List.
Therefore, Mao Jian deserves the pride of Xinyang people!
The most beautiful spring light in Xinyang
In the mountains
Today, Xinyang has ushered in the most beautiful season of the year - spring.
And the most beautiful spring light in Xinyang, without a doubt, is on the mountain.
This year, I did not let my friends send tea, but went to the Maojian origin of Xinyang with a few colleagues to see what kind of landscape it was that gave birth to such a good tea.
The rainy weather for several days cleared the moment we arrived in Xinyang.
Standing at the top of The Tea Mountain in Xinyang, a "Jesus light" pierced through the clouds and fell from the sky.
In the distance, verdant mountains, waist-high tea trees spit out extremely tender new shoots.
Strolling through it, taking a deep breath, the fragrance of the soil and plants sweeps away the exhaustion of the long journey, and the whole person is instantly refreshed.
Because it had just rained and the mountain road was muddy, the tea pickers were wearing knee-length rubber shoes scattered in the middle of the tea mountains.
"How many pounds of tea can you pick this day?" Although I often drink tea on weekdays, it is the first time I have seen people picking tea, and I am very curious.
"How many pounds?" It is good to be able to pick two pounds a day! ”
The tea picker said, so he showed me the small bamboo basket around his waist, and by the way, he held a handful of tea with his hand, "The tea leaves are very light, and there are not many picks in a day." ”
Unlike the young and beautiful tea pickers seen on TV in the past, the real tea pickers are often elderly women.
Due to the long time of tea picking, their hands are covered with traces of age, and the nail gaps and the edges of the fingernails are also full of black tea residues.
It turned out that the Maojian tea I often drank was picked by such a pair of industrious hands! Together with this mountain full of tea, they constitute the most beautiful spring light on Xinyang Mountain.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that the little tea leaves left in the house were also precious.
Mingqian tea, pre-rain tea
All good tea
As the saying goes, "Alpine clouds produce good tea." ”
That's because the sweet taste in tea comes from "theanine", and the source of its astringency is "catechin". Theanine in tea leaves photosynthesizes to produce glutamate and ethylamine, which is oxidized and used to synthesize catechins.
Cloud mist can just inhibit the theanine in tea for photosynthesis, so that the theanine content in tea is higher and the taste is naturally sweeter.
Xinyang Tea District is mostly located in the Dabie MountainOus Area of China, which is a hilly mountainous area in the eastern subtropics of China, with an average foggy day of about 100 to 130 days.
In the 300-500-meter alpine foggy layer, the number of cloud days can even reach 110-160 days.
In addition, the soil layer in Xinyang Maojian production area is deep, mostly yellow-brown loam soil, the organic matter content in the soil is high, and the soil texture is loose.
These are the guarantees of the unique flavor of Xinyang Maojian.
In addition, there is such a saying among the tea pickers in Xinyang, "Picking a day early is a treasure, and picking a day late is grass." ”
The morning and evening of tea picking has a fundamental impact on the quality of Xinyang Maojian.
Xinyang tea is divided into three seasons: spring tea, summer tea and autumn tea.
Among them, because spring tea has to cross the long winter, the growth cycle is slow and long, so its flavor substances are the richest, the taste is the best, and the quality is the best.
Among the spring teas, it is the most respected tea before the Ming Dynasty.
Before the Ming Dynasty, that is, the tea picked before the Qingming Dynasty, this is also the first touch of spring light in Xinyang.
Mingqian single bud is delicate, the roots are clear, there are many whites, the taste is the most sweet and refreshing, in addition to the high price, there are no other disadvantages.
Guyu tea with balanced buds and leaves has a longer taste, bright and bright soup, and is more resistant to bubbles, and the price is moderate, which is most suitable for ration tea.
Xinyang's friends told me that they drank it themselves and preferred the pre-rain tea, "more flavorful!" ”
Of course, this "taste" in the end, or have to taste it yourself.
This spring, we specially ran xinyang several times, and finally put down the price of xinyang maojian!
After tasting no less than ten kinds of Maojian tea, we specially selected two of the most cost-effective spring teas to bring to everyone.
Under the premise of high cost performance, but also to ensure the quality of tea, specially launched "Mingqian high-end gift box" and "before the rain white can simple" two spring tea, tea lovers can close their eyes!
