Laoshan tea moved north from the south.

Qingdao people who like to drink tea all know "Laoshan Green", absorbing the essence of mountains and rivers, and the soup is green and delicious. But perhaps few people know that Laoshan tea is not a "resident", but an "immigrant" from thousands of miles away.

1. Nancha "married North" into Laoshan Mountain.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/957, tea seedlings were transplanted and introduced to southern Anhui and Zhejiang. Originally planted in the nursery at the southern foot of Taiping Mountain. The first time, 5000 biennial tea seedlings were shipped from Huangshan, and the cultivation in the spring of the following year was a complete failure.

1958, seedling domestication, introduced from Hangzhou, planted in the open space at the south foot of Taiping Mountain in Zhongshan Park, with the emergence rate of about 70%. The first choice for tea trees to enter Laoshan Mountain is Taiqinggong forest area, which is known as "Little Jiangnan".

1959 More than 50,000 clumps were sown, equivalent to more than 40 mu. Due to lack of management, only 5000 to 10000 clumps survived. After one or two years of careful management and cultivation, the introduction was successful.

A few days ago, 27 tea plants planted by 1962 were found on a slope at an altitude of 3000 meters near the Shangqing Palace. No one was in charge during the period, but the tea seedlings were safe and sound. It can be seen that Laoshan Mountain is very suitable for the growth of tea trees.

It is easy to do as the Romans do, but difficult to do as the Romans do.

The "South-to-North Tea Transfer Project" is successful, but the production area is limited and the output is very low, which has little impact on society.

From the middle and late 1980s to the early 1990s, tea planting technology developed, but it was not popular. Only a few people have mastered tea-making technology, and the market capacity is very limited. Besides, people's living standards were very low at that time. By the early 1990s, the planting area of Laoshan tea was about 65,438+0,000 mu.

3. Laoshan Tea is "anti-customer-oriented"

In the middle and late 1990s, Laoshan tea developed greatly. Government policy support, financial support, technical guidance, encouraging planting, and changing grain into tea.

The planting area of tea trees increases by about 65,438+0,000 mu every year, and there are dozens of registered trademarks. Planting technology and tea-making technology are becoming more and more exquisite, and their popularity is getting higher and higher. Scented tea is gradually withdrawing from the local table, and Laoshan tea has become an irreplaceable drink.

In May, 2004, the first Laoshan Tea Festival in Qingdao was successfully held, with more than 60 varieties of Laoshan Tea participating. Famous teas such as Xiaoyangchun, Wan Li River and Yunwu Tea sell well at home and abroad, and the research on Laoshan tea culture is also in the ascendant.

At present, the tea planting area in Laoshan District is 12000 mu.

Laoshan tea has a history of nearly half a century since the first batch of tea tree "guests" moved to Laoshan Mountain. Today, Laoshan "Hakka Tea" has become a rising new army in China tea market. In people's subconscious, it is a real "sitting on the ground." 1964 harvested the first batch of tea seeds, and 1965 sprouted completely normally. The birth of the second generation of Qingdao tea trees shows that tea trees can not only be settled in Qingdao, but also be passed down from generation to generation. Now it can be said with certainty that Qingdao has the conditions to develop a large number of tea trees. (Real large-scale active start)
