1. The origin of "Big Red Robe".

As for the origin of this good name, there is a wonderful and moving legend widely circulated among the people:

1. The big red robe tea tree grows on the cliff, people can not climb, every year when picking tea, the monk takes the fruit as bait, and the monkey picks it, so some people call it "monkey picking tea".

2. The big red robe tea tree is ten zhang high, the leaves are as big as palms, it grows on the cliff, the wind blows the leaves and falls, and the monks pick up the tea for tea, which can cure all kinds of diseases. 3. The big red robe tea tree is planted by the gods, and the monks burn incense on New Year's Day.

Pious worship, before brewing a little offering to the Buddha, the tea can take care of itself, and those who steal it immediately have abdominal pain, and they can not be healed if they are not fertile, and they are planted by the gods.

4. The big red robe tea tree has been crowned by the emperor, the royal name is given, the local county order comes to the Kowloon Cave every spring, takes off the red robe and covers the tea tree, and then bows to worship, and everyone shouts in unison in the smoke of cigarettes: tea sprouts! Tea sprouts!

When the red robe was removed, the tea tree really sprouted! The tea buds are as bright as dyeing.

The big red robe is famous all over the world for its preciousness and rarity. We often see a variety of teas called Da Hong Pao in the market. Many people think that the big red robe has a red letter in it, and they think that it belongs to black tea, but in fact, it is not. Da Hong Pao is produced in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province, and belongs to oolong tea.

Wuyi Dahongpao, produced in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, tea trees are shrub type, the first of Wuyi rock tea. Wuyi Dahongpao is the best quality in Wuyi rock tea, known as the "king of tea", known as the "champion of tea", and is the king of rock tea.

Wuyi Dahongpao is produced in Wuyi Mountain, which was approved by the National Nature Reserve in 1979 and is a key area and demonstration base for global biodiversity conservation. The rock valley where Dahongpao grows has unique natural conditions, such as steep rock valley, deep valley stream, suitable temperature and light, fertile soil, rich rock tea substances, etc., the soup color is orange and bright after brewing, the bottom of the cup shows vermilion soup spots, the taste spring is mellow, and there is an obvious sweet aftertaste.

There is an interesting story about the quality of Wuyi's big red robe. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the whole city coaxed the matter of "the champion selling morning tea", and wrote a story that was widely praised. It is said that in a certain year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1859), there was a "green edge" tea factory under the Tianyou Peak of Wuyi Mountain, and its founder Zhao Zhou (formerly known as Zhao Xianke, later changed to Zhao Changyan) was a poor talent in Wuyi Mountain.

The "Luyuan" tea made in Zhaozhou has a strong fragrance and high quality, and he sent the tea to Fuzhou to participate in the "Nantai Meeting" competition and won the Ding Shang Award. However, when he went to the meeting, he used the name of "Kuimeiwei" tea factory to participate in the competition as a product of the factory and won the award. After a year, "Lueon" tea has become very famous.

And Zhao Lu held Xianzhou had an only son, Gangzhong Xianfeng Jiayin Enke (1854) Jinshi, named Zhao Shimin. Zhao Shimin is an upright official and is not afraid of power. After he was admitted to the Jinshi, he was appointed to Hanlin and entered Beijing as an official.

At that time, Jingguan liked to be vassal, and there were many people who collected calligraphy, paintings, and antiques. And the purple sand teapot is an indispensable item in the collection of Beijing officials. In order to congratulate his friend on his promotion, Zhao Shimin brought the purple sand teapot from his hometown to the capital to give it away.

Among them, there is a vermilion, carved "Nine Dragons Play Pearls" pattern of teapot, because of the maker Shao Youting's superb skills, fine carving, for a while, people valued. This teapot was bought by Fang Daxiang, a Fujianese who was in charge of the military department at the time. The following year (1860), Zhao Shimin resigned and returned to his hometown.

At this time, Fang Daxiang wrote from Kyoto saying that he was willing to get the "Nine Dragon Tea Set" and gave Zhao Shimin "Da Hong Pao" tea in return. Because the "big red robe" tea can only be picked by a tea tree in Tianyou Temple in Wuyi Mountain. The "Nine Dragons Playing Pearls" tea set was given by Zhao Shimin, and Zhao Changyan renamed the "Luyuan" tea factory as "Qiang Tea Factory", which was intended to be "stronger than the friend of the tea gift".

At that time, there was a literati named Wu Buyun in Wuyi Mountain, who wrote an advertising essay for Zhao Changyanqiang Tea Factory, which contained "My Wuyi Mountain, Tianyou Temple......There is a world of difference. However, the 'Da Hong Pao' tea of Tianyou Temple is also called a unique ...... with the 'Nine Dragons Playing Pearls' potTo make a pot and a bowl to enjoy at the same time, it should be the first pleasure in life! In this way, the "Luyuan" tea skin produced by the "Qiang Tea Factory" is as famous as Fang Daxiang's "Jiulong Xizhu" pot, and Wu Buyun's advertising has increased the fame of the "Luyuan" tea, so the "Luyuan" tea factory is very prosperous.

The origin of the name of the big red robe is in the Ming Dynasty Hongwu 18 years, that is, in 1385 A.D., the son Ding Xian went to Beijing to take the exam, passed by Wuyi Mountain and suddenly fell ill, and then met a monk of Tianxin Yongle Temple, he gave Ding Xian his treasure of tea to drink, Ding Xian was cured after drinking, and later Ding Xian pressed the big red robe on the tea tree that produced this tea, so it was named.

The reason why the big red core beam robe is called the big red robe is because in the 18th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1385 AD, the son Ding Xian went to Beijing to take the exam, and when he passed by Wuyi Mountain, he suddenly fell ill and had unbearable abdominal pain, but fortunately Ding Xian met a monk of Tianxin Yongle Temple.

Ding Xian asked the monk about the origin of the tea, and the monk told Ding Xian that he could get it by taking off his big red robe and going around the tea bush three times, and pressing the big red robe on the tea tree, so this tea has the well-known name of "big red robe".

The history of the big red robe is rare, the recognized big red robe is also sold only the few trees on the rock wall of the Nine Dragons, even in the best years, the output of the big red robe is only a few hundred grams, so the big red robe is a well-deserved Wuyi famous fir in the mountain, the champion in tea.

Origin: 1385, Ming Dynasty Hongwu eighteen years, the son Ding Xian went to Beijing to take the exam, passed by Wuyi Mountain when suddenly got sick, abdominal pain was unbearable, happened to meet a monk of Tianxin Yongle Temple, the monk took his Tibetan tea to brew with him to drink, the pain stopped. After winning the examination, he came to thank the monk and asked about the origin of the tea, and after learning about it, he took off his big red robe and circled the jujube tea bush three times, and draped it on the tea tree, so he got the name of "big red robe".

The champion took the big red robe in a tin can and brought it back to the capital.

After the champion returned to the court, the queen was sick, and the hundred doctors were ineffective, so he took out the can of tea and offered, the queen gradually recovered after drinking, the emperor was overjoyed, and gave a red robe, and ordered the champion to go to the Nine Dragons in person to drape on the tea tree to show the dragon's grace, and at the same time send someone to take care of it, and all the tea was collected to pay tribute, and it was not allowed to be hidden. Since then, Wuyi Rock Tea Da Hong Pao has become a tribute tea exclusively for the royal family to enjoy the model rock Wang, and the fame of Da Hong Pao has also spread to the world. Legend has it that every year the officials sent by the imperial court wear a big red robe, and the robe is hung on the tree of tribute tea, so it is called the red robe of Da Danzai.
