Today article, wanted to talk to friends and cinnamon tea.
Speaking of cinnamon, we must first talk about its birthplace.
Thirty-six Peaks and Ninety-Nine Rocks of Wuyi Mountain produce tea. Due to the intricate terrain, tea farmers use rock gaps, deep pits, mountain valleys, slopes, valleys, basins and other strange terrain to build gardens.
Different mountain farms with the same variety form different mountain charms after making tea due to their planting topography, soil, sunshine time, humidity, moisture, surrounding vegetation and many other differences.
Under the combined effect of these different producing areas, the "mountain field theory" of rock tea came into being.
, especially when it comes to cinnamon tea, which is currently the hottest, the mountain field theory becomes more mysterious. Why does
say cinnamon?
is simple!
because cinnamon = meat is expensive.
asked the village girl Chen to say that Cinnamon can become the leading star in rock tea, not because of luck, but because of its own personality.
First of all, cinnamon is fragrant! In the rock tea circle, it has the domineering reputation of "fragrance but cinnamon";
secondly, the output of cinnamon is stable and easy to feed.
Finally, cinnamon is relatively stable, and post-processing can ensure the consistency of quality.
There are many rock tea farms now, but some low-yield, unstable shape, and insufficient performance varieties of tea have been shoveled, and all high-yield, high-priced cinnamon teas have been planted.
This is the result of the direct effect of market factors. Since cinnamon is so popular now, as a tea maker, how can we not take a good look.
, especially the tea from the well-known traditional Zhengyan mountain farms such as Niulankeng cinnamon, Tianxinyan cinnamon, Matouyan cinnamon, etc., has deeply attracted our attention. Only after drinking these cinnamon can we really understand what is "shocked by heaven" ".
But some tea lovers are also puzzled. This is also cinnamon. What is the difference between Niulankeng cinnamon, Tianxinyan cinnamon, and Matouyan cinnamon? How can I drink it?
If you want to understand these "explosive styles" of cinnamon, how can you do without ink and stock in your stomach! Learn about Niulankeng cinnamon, Tianxinyan cinnamon, Matouyan cinnamon, starting from the mountain field.

First of all, we must first understand the birthplace of these three cinnamon, Niulankeng, Matouyan, Tianxinyan.
1. The characteristics of the Niulankeng mountain field
Niulankeng is located on the northeast side of Tianxin Temple, at the southern foot of Beidou Peak and Mantuo Peak. The sea level is 238m
. On the rock wall, there is a gurgling stream.
has visited Niulankeng on-site and will surely be shocked by the towering rocks on both sides. This is a supernatural craftsmanship made by nature, as if the top of this mountain was split by an axe from the middle, showing a "V" shape.
Rock teas such as cinnamon and narcissus are planted at the bottom of this valley, receiving sunlight and being nourished by the water at the bottom of the valley.
is officially the characteristics of Niulankeng Rock Tea because of this unique topography and landform.
Niulankengjian Valley has fertile soil and short sunshine, which provides a good environment for the growth of tea trees, and benefits the quality of Niulankeng Cinnamon. As for the specific quality of Niulankeng cinnamon, the following table is detailed.
2, Features of Matouyan Mountain Field
Matouyan is a scenic area of Wuyi Mountain, mainly local cinnamon, which is the three iconic cinnamon producing areas in the core area of Wuyi Mountain.
Wuyi Mountain Horse Head Rock, named after the rock resembling a horse head, has an altitude of 425 meters and a relative height of 83 meters. There is Lei Shiyan beside
, like five galloping horses, also called "five horses running trough". There is Sanhua Peak in the north of
, like three giant flowers in full bloom. There are also scenic views such as Ma'anyan Rock, Tielang Village, Wuyuanjian, Leishi Temple, Ningyun Temple and other buildings near
.
The north can reach Tianxin, the south can reach Tianyou, and the east can pass through Mazikeng to the tour route or to Wuyi Palace and Lantang.
starts from Dawang Peak in the east, Tianyou Peak in the south, Sanyang Peak in the west, and Dahongpao Scenic Spot (Jiulong) in the north.
The terrain of Matouyan is relatively flat. It is like shoveling the top of a mountain, and then planting a variety of rock tea. The varieties of Matouyan Mountain are very rich. Narcissus cinnamon is a common variety. ,and alsoSome small varieties of tea also come from it. The biggest feature of the
Matouyan Mountain Farm is the long sunshine time. Tea lovers should not underestimate this sunshine time, which has a profound impact on the overall quality of cinnamon.
3, the characteristics of Tianxinyan Mountain
Tianxinyan is located in the north of Wuyishan Mountain. It is said that this is the center of Wuyi Mountain, just like the pivot of the sky, hence the name "Tianxin". According to the records of the mountain records: the whole mountain is one hundred and twenty miles away, with the peak in the center and the pivot of the sky, so it is called Tianxin.
Famous places of interest in the north of the mountain, such as Liuxiangjian, Yuzhu Peak, Huiyuan, Yingzuiyan, Shuiliandong, Duxuanyan, Matouyan, etc. are all around it.
There is a temple under the rock. It was originally named Shanxin Yongle Temple, renamed Tianxin Temple in the 7th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (AD 1528), and Yongle Temple in Qing Dynasty. The pavilion saga is one of the largest temples in the whole mountain. The geographical location of
Tianxin Rock can be described as "the stars are over the moon."

different geographical environment (also called mountain field), even the same kind of cinnamon tea, the final quality characteristics are also very different. If
compares three kinds of tea, I am afraid that the answer will never be obtained.
Each mountain field has a different microclimate. Among the big mountain fields, there are small mountain fields, such as Matouyan Cinnamon, and there are many small mountain fields, such as peach trees and cats. , Kaishanping, etc., each tea has different characteristics.
is also Matouyan cinnamon. In addition to the typical cinnamon scent, the cinnamon produced by peach tree nest will also have a shallow floral fragrance, as if it was born in peach tree nest, as if it had a fragrance. .
human faces are peach blossoms.
Therefore, it is difficult to compete with the cinnamon produced in these three mountain farms!
However, because of the difference in the mountain field, the three cinnamon have completely different personalities and distinctive personalities.
also writes poems and lyrics, as well as graceful and unrestrained school, as well as Huajian Ci school. Just imagine, can you find the best of these 3 genres?
This is an answer that has not been available for centuries.

1. The quality characteristics of Niulankeng cinnamon
Niulankeng cinnamon features: gentleness, firm cinnamon fragrant, mellow tea soup, smooth soup
Niulankeng, as a whole belongs to the pit stream landform, the cinnamon that grows here, The aroma is less overbearing and more gentle and restrained. When drinking cinnamon in Niulankeng, what I feel in my heart is not the dominance of cinnamon, but its gentleness. It seems that at this moment, a king who takes the country as his priority, when he meets a beloved woman, he will have a trace of heartbeat and will show a rare gentleness.
The tea fragrance of Niulankeng cinnamon is gentle, and its soup is light and soft. Sip the tea soup carefully, the cinnamon fragrance is very straight, which can directly give your taste buds a wonderful experience.

2, the quality characteristics of Matouyan cinnamon
The characteristics of Matouyan cinnamon: aggressive, domineering, sharp, fierce, and predatory
is very different from Niulankeng cinnamon. Matouyan cinnamon is a strong personality. Similar to fierce, he is a rough general, and the tea fragrance is full of heroism. Especially the cinnamon planted in Xiangyang, like Zhang Fei, Changbanqiao drank Xia Houjie off the horse.
Drinking Matouyan cinnamon is like a popping candy that you ate when you were a child. When you hold it in your mouth, it will burst and give your mouth a new irritation. This is the case with
Matouyan cinnamon. Its cinnamon smell starts to burst in the mouth before sipping it, like a wolf, very ferocious.
The overall quality of Matouyan is dominated by fierceness. If it is some tea from pits, pits, and streams, it will be relatively softer.
, like peach tree cinnamon, is also a mountain field of Matouyan, but its fragrance is relatively mild, not irritating, and its sharpness is somewhat reduced.
also has a floral fragrance, the soup is soft and mellow, a bit like an overbearing president.

3, the quality characteristics of Tianxinyan cinnamon
Tianxinyan cinnamon characteristics: the cinnamon is fragrant and stable, the soup is mellow and sweetTianxin Rock, Tianxin Rock, has a unique geographical location. It is the center of Zhengyan Mountain, with a sense of nobility not found in other mountain places.
In Tianxin Rock, there is a Tianxin Yongle Zen Temple. It seems that the cinnamon planted here has been nurtured all day long, and the character has become calm, strong and soft.
Tianxinyan cinnamon, the biggest feature is that its cinnamon fragrance is very stable.
In the first flush, the soup has a fullness, thick, mellow, soft, delicate, and at the same time somewhat overbearing. There will also be a hint of floral fragrance, enough to surprise us.
As the number of brewing increases, the mellowness of the tea soup is constantly strengthened.
The calm cinnamon scent lasts until the end, with a floral scent appearing in the middle, and the aroma changes a lot. The top note of
is cinnamon fragrance; the middle note is osmanthus fragrance; the final note is cluster flavor.
took a sip of tea soup in his mouth and was drunk for a long time. After
swallowed, the fragrance of cinnamon still stayed firmly in the mouth for a long time.

This is the characteristic of 3 cinnamon. Between them, only the quality characteristics are different, and there is no difference in quality.
The current tea circle, Matouyan cinnamon and Niulankeng cinnamon are equally famous. It is the most well-known tea among rock teas, and the price is very objective.
Relatively speaking, cinnamon from Tianxinyan and other mountain fields is less well-known? Is it because the quality of these mountain farms is not good?
is not! The quality of
Tianxinyan cinnamon is not inferior to Niulankeng cinnamon and Matouyan cinnamon. If
is to talk about the only disadvantage of Tianxinyan Cinnamon, its mountain field is too small and its output is limited.
Ordinary tea lovers still come into contact with some high-profile mountain fields most of the time, and naturally ignore other mountain fields.
But the tea friends who know the goods, like the village girl Chen, indulge in their own strength of character. Do not ask the source of
heroes. As long as
is good quality cinnamon, one day it will be found, liked and promoted by more tea lovers.
