Sichuan Emeishan Zhuyeqing Tea Industry Co., Ltd. is currently one of the largest tea enterprises in Sichuan, mainly engaged in Zhuyeqing and Bitan Drifting Snow. These two teas have become well-known tea brands in China and have won many international awards. In 2008, Zhuyeqing Tea Industry Company opened Zhuyeqing Lundao Life Museum, which integrates tea sales and tea tasting. The museum was designed by design master Alan Chan, and was selected as the most beautiful teahouse in Chengdu by Harper's Bazaar magazine, and has won the annual design award and the Asia-Pacific interior design award by Interior Design magazine in the United States.
The tea used and sold in the Zhuyeqing Lundao Life Museum is the own brand of Zhuyeqing Tea Industry, which is divided into two brands: "Zhuyeqing" and "Bitan Piaoxue". When Emeishan Zhuyeqing Tea Industry Company was established, Zhuyeqing was registered as a trademark, and the highest grade of Zhuyeqing was selected to participate in the competition. Subsequently, Zhuyeqing won the World Green Tea Expo Grand Prix in Japan, the "Centennial World Expo China Tea Golden Camel Award" at the Milan World Expo, and other international awards, and its quality was highly recognized. Bamboo leaf green is claimed to be produced in the Emei 10,000 acres of alpine tea garden above 800 meters above sea level, after far-infrared sterilization and fragrance, put into the refrigeration of deoxygenation and nitrogen filling equipment, and the production procedure is standardized.
After the bamboo leaf green encounters water, the tea buds stand upright, up and down, and have a certain ornamentality, so the tea set is best with a glass cup with good transparency, followed by a white porcelain cup. On the Taoist hall uses low-hardness mineral water to brew, the soup color is tender and green, the taste is fresh and mellow, and the proportion of "one bud and one leaf" and "single bud" is an important criterion for evaluating the quality of bamboo leaf green. "One bud and one leaf" refers to a bud head with a leaf, and the "single bud" is the tip of the bud at the top of the tea branch, which is the most precious. After brewing, the "single bud" will be erected like a green needle, the tea soup is fragrant and sweet, and in terms of vision and taste, the single bud is undoubtedly the best in the tea. According to the difference between the single bud rate and the place of origin, the bamboo leaf green sold in the museum is divided into three grades. The first level is "taste", the tea is picked from the mountains at an altitude of 600-1200 meters, and the proportion of single buds accounts for about 50%; "Meditation" is more precious, produced in the mountains at an altitude of 800-1200 meters, and 80%-90% are single buds; The highest grade is "On the Road", which is harvested from the Wannian Temple Tea Garden at an altitude of 1200-1500 meters, and is made of tea buds, and has been selected for the Shanghai World Expo as a representative of Sichuan tea. Zhuye Green Tea Industry said that because it is required that the single bud made into the Tao must have a complete bud shape, perfect arc and uniform uniformity, so every 500 grams of tea needs to be screened from 5 million single buds, which is quite rare.
Another flagship tea brand, Bitan Piaoxue, won the 2017 National Jasmine Tea Product Quality Special Gold Award, which is also divided into three grades: taste, meditation and Taoism. Bitan Piaoxue is made of early spring buds as tea blanks and mixed with jasmine flowers. On the Taoist Hall, the bowl is used to brew and drink, the tea fragrance and floral fragrance are blended, mellow and delicious, and the jasmine flowers float on the yellow and clear tea soup, which has both beauty and taste.
Around 2017, Emeishan Zhuyeqing Tea Industry Group has nearly 400,000 acres of designated tea gardens and tea production bases, with an annual production of nearly 3,600 tons of green tea. Zhuye Green Tea Industry Co., Ltd. covers tea garden cultivation management, initial production, refining and processing, product research and development and other businesses, and has a complete tea production chain. Its operation system is mature and the management system is standardized, which effectively guarantees the quality of tea. However, with the continuous increase in tea production, the difficulty of tea enterprises in quality control has gradually increased, and the stability of tea production has been slightly affected. In addition, the exhibited teas are usually the top products that have been carefully selected, and the quality of the tea that customers taste on a daily basis is somewhat different, which is a little regrettable.
Located on Shenxian South Road, Zhuye Qinglun Dao Living Museum is a three-storey single building, although the street is noisy, the environment inside the museum is quiet and quiet, which is very consistent with the "tea ceremony spirit" admired by the public. The whole living hall is mainly light green, using Chinese-style solid wood furniture, adding Buddhist statues and other theological elements, and flowers and green plants are embellished among them, which is quite oriental Zen.
The first floor is the tea display and sales area, with several bamboo leaf green tea leaves and Bitan drifting snow on one side, and a number of exquisite tea sets; On the opposite side is the brewing reception area, where the tea master is dressed in a cheongsam, showing a classical style. The center of the first floor is a pond, a crystal bamboo forest, Buddha statues and other landscape elements. The designer has a decent grasp of the details, the bamboo and wood are printed with moral scriptures, and the Buddha statue is gazing at the pure water. The second and third floors are all tea rooms, and the decoration design is roughly the same as the first floor, but there are differences in function. The second floor is equipped with a chess table, and you can also learn chess skills while tasting tea; Tea drinkers who like quiet may wish to choose the third floor, where single tea stalls are distributed along the window, which is most suitable for viewing the scenery.
Zhuye Qing Lundao Life Museum only provides a single cup of tea, no kung fu tea, and the price starts at 68 yuan. The tea master in the private room generally only provides guests with a simple tea making service at no additional cost. The boutique tea is divided into four versions: bag, tin box, lacquer box and brocade box, weighing between 48 grams and 208 grams, and the price ranges from 98 yuan to 4,000 yuan. It is worth mentioning that its packaging gift box is also designed by the famous Chen Youjian, and the exquisiteness is self-evident, and it is perfect for keeping promises as a gift.
The streets and alleys of Chengdu are full of teahouses, most of which are baba tea, with a simple environment and low prices, mainly a place for older tea customers to spend time and gather and chat. The popular Baba tea is characterized by bamboo chairs and gaiwan tea, with obvious regional characteristics, but not much attention is paid to the quality of tea and water use. Sichuan is a large province producing green tea, and special Sichuan teas such as bamboo leaf green, Bitan drifting snow, Mengding nectar, and Mengding yellow buds are all top teas. Although the high-end teahouse in Chengdu is not the mainstream, it is quite exquisite in terms of tea, water, environment, etc., which can better reflect the characteristics and quality of Sichuan tea. The Zhuye Qing Nondao Life Museum focuses on top-quality Sichuan tea, and its performance in tea and decoration is extremely good, so it tops the list. The old teahouses with distinctive regional characteristics will also be described in detail below.
