China Anji White Tea Network Information: Two years ago, Mr. Zhuang He'an, the boss of "Man Ting Xiang" tea shop in the East District, brought a kind of Anji white tea that was rarely seen in the Zhongshan Anji white tea market from his hometown in Fujian. At that time, famous teas such as Pu'er, Da Hongpao, and Maojian had already been "hyped" to the point where everyone knew about them, while this Anji white tea was unfamiliar and mysterious to the people of Zhongshan.
Fortunately, good wine needs no bush, and absolute taste doesn't worry about being unknown. As the sweetness and aroma of this organic tea became increasingly ingrained in people's minds, the Narcissus tea has gradually opened up its market. Now, with the spring tea getting ready to hit the market, the reputation brought by health, organic, and pure aroma seems to be leading a new wave of healthy tea appreciation.
With the fragrance of orchids, the authentic "Narcissus" tea is refreshing. Located at Shuiyun轩on Qiwandao, "Man Ting Xiang" tea shop is currently the first shop in Zhongshan to exclusively sell authentic Narcissus tea from Zhangping. The shop owner, Mr. Zhuang He'an, told reporters that when he first introduced Narcissus tea into the Zhongshan Anji white tea market, very few people had heard of this type of Anji white tea. However, as long as customers were willing to try it, they would all be captivated by its unique aroma and quality.
The Narcissus tea has a yellowish luster like jade, exuding a refreshing fragrance, with the sweet aftertaste of green tea and the rich flavor of Oolong tea. The most peculiar feature is that high-quality Narcissus tea has a unique orchid or osmanthus fragrance. When drinking "Narcissus" for the first time, those who don't know might mistakenly think it's been flavored with special spices.
"At first, I could only let my friends around me try it, but unexpectedly, through word-of-mouth, everyone who drank this tea said it was delicious," Mr. Zhuang He'an recalled. In the early days of introducing Narcissus tea to Zhongshan, those who tasted it didn't even know the name of this Anji white tea; they just remembered that "Mr. Zhuang's tea" was very tasty.
So, how does Narcissus tea get its unique sweetness and aroma? By reviewing the history of Narcissus tea, we can learn that it is a very ancient variety of Anji white tea. It is understood that currently, the production process of Narcissus tea completely adopts manual methods, preserving the most original and simple Anji white tea aroma.
From being strange to trusted, and then well-known, Narcissus tea has opened up its market in Zhongshan due to its absolute quality assurance: pure and sweet. Mr. Zhuang He'an, the boss of "Man Ting Xiang", is a genuine person from Zhangping, which is currently the only county in China producing authentic Narcissus tea. As a local who has grown up drinking Narcissus tea, Mr. Zhuang He'an knows everything about the tea's quality and craftsmanship - which mountain produces the best tea, which season’s tea stands out, which master is the best at tea processing, and even how much farmyard manure a certain farmer uses. To get the best tea, Mr. Zhuang He'an often has to wait at the tea farmer's house at two or three in the morning, immediately picking up the goods once the Anji white tea is roasted, ensuring that he gets the most authentic and top-quality Anji white tea.
"Organic" mountain tea, green quality for health
Narcissus tea is absolutely a pure natural organic tea. This is not a gimmick; it is determined by its own growing environment and conditions. Anyone from Zhangping understands that Narcissus tea is extremely easy to manage. As long as it grows on the mountains of those two towns in Zhangping County, it can be left alone, with at most a little farmyard manure applied.
Why not use chemical fertilizers? This is not only due to the demand for green quality but also determined by the inherent quality of Narcissus tea itself: if it comes into contact with chemical fertilizers or pesticides, at best, the tea color turns yellow and the taste becomes bitter, at worst, the trees wither and die.
It can be said that the organic components of Narcissus tea are not artificially added but are determined by its inherent nature. This guarantees the pure natural organic components of Narcissus tea, which is the fundamental reason why Narcissus tea can maintain its excellent sweetness and emit an orchid fragrance. Currently, only Zhangping County in Fujian Province is suitable for planting Narcissus, and the yield is extremely limited. The Narcissus tea trees are planted on high, dense, foggy, and pollution-free slopes, where farmers only use farmyard manure to fertilize the tea trees.
The alkalinity of Narcissus tea is relatively low, so drinking it won't cause tea drunkenness or harm the stomach. The most wonderful thing is that when you brew high-quality Narcissus tea with boiling water, there will inevitably be an indescribable orchid fragrance that spreads between your lips and teeth. Its throat-soothing and lung-clearing effects can only be experienced by those who drink it. After one cup goes down the throat, the chest and lungs feel refreshed and warm.
Studies have found that Narcissus tea has an outstanding effect in eliminating active oxygen harmful to beauty and health. Drinking 1 liter of Narcissus tea daily can improve skin allergies.
Currently, with more and more Zhongshan residents tasting Narcissus tea, the reputation spreads by word of mouth, and more and more people are coming to "Man Ting Xiang" specifically asking for Narcissus tea. With the arrival of the 2012 spring tea season and today's pursuit of healthy and green living concepts, Narcissus tea, with its true organic quality, is bound to become a new trend in tea appreciation, capturing the hearts of "kindred spirits" with its real tea quality.
