Lushan Yunwu tea
Lushan Yunwu Tea , also known as Lushan Mountain Cloud-Mist Tea, is regarded as one of top ten famous Chinese teas. As a superior sort of Chinese green tea, it is produced in the famous Lushan Mountain of Eastern China’s Jiangxi Province. First grown in Han Dynasty (202BC – 220AD), Lushan Yunwu Tea was listed as a tribute tea for the emperors and royal family since Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) due to its four outstanding characteristics: fragrant aroma, pretty color, bright, clear liquor, and mellow taste.
Where there's cloud and mist, there's bound to be good tea. Because of natural wonder of tremendous clouds over Lushan Mountain, it has created Lushan Yunwu Tea.
Lying in a basin surrounded by mountains, and with Boyang Lake to the south, Yangtze River to the north, Lushan Mountain is hidden from in the clouds and mist in half a year (around 195 days), making it one of the most beautiful and mysterious mountains in China. The blindingly foggy conditions also create a natural shade for the tea growing. Furthermore, Lushan Mountain features high altitude (around 800 meters above sea level), great seasonal temperature difference, strong irradiation of ultraviolet, and murmuring spring, all offering advantageous growing conditions for tea trees, thus contributing to the top quality of Lushan Yunwu Tea.
