Truly, tea is the tender bud of spring grass, the jade leaf of noble trees. The heavens have conceived this wondrous thing, and the earth nurtures it to sprout. As for the Tian Shan tea, it enjoys the nourishment of rich soil, its smoke swirling in the air. It receives the sweet dew that descends at night, and the tea trees flourish.
The Tian Shan Green Tea, with a unique aroma and flavor, is blessed by the natural elements and enriched by fertile lands. It draws upon the spirit of the mountains, drinks the radiance of the sun, and is refreshed by misty rain. Its fresh fragrance and tender hue are enhanced by its proximity to forests and springs, its bright green leaves and light green tips bask in the gentle rain and the play of clouds and mist. Looking up to heaven, it absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, spreading a subtle fragrance over acres and producing hundreds of delicate buds. The young shoots glisten like gold against a backdrop of green, while the tea cakes, when infused, release an alluring aroma. This is the king of green teas, a superior drink.
In the southern Tian Shan, tea plants spread across valleys and hillsides. In Ningde's Jiaocheng District, the Tian Shan range stretches through the heart of Mount Jufeng, connecting three counties and linking to three mountains. To the east lies the vast ocean, and to the west, the mystical Ling Mountain. The peaks are tall and the forests dense, the springs clear and the mists heavy. Why are the azaleas so vibrant in summer and the Osmanthus so lush in autumn? The tea trees are luxuriant and verdant, their small leaves dripping with dew and fragrant. The fields of tea, these divine herbs and leaves, boast a high aroma and robust flavor, their green color enduring even after brewing. Their base leaves are tender and green, caressed by the breeze and moonlight, nourished by morning dew and evening rain. After being kneaded and rolled countless times, they retain their fragrance, as white as accumulated snow and bright as spring blossoms. The young shoots, adorned with spring rain, emit a sweet fragrance among the grass.
Tracing back the history of tea, it originated during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In this place, tea plants share a common origin. Danqiu Zi lived on Tian Shan, using tea to maintain health. Tao Hongjing entered Tian Shan, using tea for medicinal purposes. Ge Xuan cultivated tea during his cultivation practices, while Yuan Biao spread tea cultivation. In the Tang Dynasty, wax-faced tea was offered as tribute, while in the Song Dynasty, the best teas from Zhitizhai were renowned. During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, there were many top-quality bud teas. The quality of the tea was excellent, and the craftsmanship exquisite. In the early morning after a rain shower, the tea gardens returned to normal, following Lu Yu's writings. At Fuzhai Customs in Sandu Harbor, Tian Shan tea crossed oceans. The tea trees thrive amidst misty mountains, and what was once a royal tribute is now enjoyed by all. The tips of the leaves are a fresh green, enduring frost and snow, imbued with fragrance and bitterness, growing through wind and rain.
On clear and serene days, with clouds scattered like scales, one climbs Tian Shan, ascends Ju Ridge, crosses Red Creek, and passes through Yangzhong. From afar, one sees rows of tea plants, the terraced fields layered upon each other. Upon closer inspection, the tender shoots emerge in green, filled with auspicious energy. The tea leaves are dyed with the colors of the clouds and mist, transforming in hue. Pouring hot water over them, the green tea releases its aroma. Whether it is the sweet and refreshing taste of phoenix eyebrows, the clear and smooth flavor of Silver tips, the fragrant and rich aroma of delicate eyes, or the refined and refreshing quality of fine brows, they float like green coins on the water's surface, resembling Chrysanthemum petals falling into cups. They emit a clear melody in the heat of summer and dispel the drowsiness of sleepless nights. The spirit of tea embodies purity, propriety, and frugality. The heavenly nectar and sweet dew create waves and ripples, cleansing the restlessness of the six organs and dispelling the worries of the mortal world. It embraces the elegance of orchids and the fragrance of irises. The young buds welcome spring, flowing with a clear and elegant beauty, while the jade-like buds exude a delicate and graceful charm.
Alas, the Tian Shan stands tall and proud, a thousand-year-old tea land. The eastern sea stretches far and wide, its tea fragrance lingering. The Tian Shan green tea reigns supreme in China, while black and white teas follow closely behind. Flowers bloom beautifully when they meet the spring breeze, and tea exudes a pure and lofty spirit in prosperous times. Integrating the production of different types of tea and blending tea with tourism, the beautiful Jiaocheng thrives through its tea industry. A touch of green from Tian Shan, a timeless sentiment in the world. The tea gods protect this land, and the tea fragrance spreads far and wide. Harmony prevails through tea, ensuring prosperity and peace for all.
