Pangu Tea

Pangu Tea

　　  The "Pangu" tea of Yudu has a long history. According to the Tongzhi edition of the , Pangu tea was a tribute to the imperial court from the early Yuan Dynasty to the Qianlong era. The tea-growing region sits at an altitude of around 1,500 meters, where clouds and mist linger year-round. Experts have confirmed that the soil and climate are highly suitable for cultivating premium tea trees.

　　　　    In recent years, the Pangu Tea Factory has continuously expanded its planting area, now covering over 3,500 acres. It has introduced advanced Japanese tea harvesting and processing equipment to produce the refined Pangu Tea series: "Dragon Pearl Tea" and "Phoenix Crown Tea" both use tender one-bud-one-leaf shoots picked between the Spring Equinox and Grain Rain as raw materials. These go through more than twenty meticulous processes including sorting, withering, pan-firing, and shaping. Dragon Pearl Tea resembles pearls in appearance, while Phoenix Crown Tea takes on the shape of a "phoenix crown." Both teas are covered in fine fuzz, and when steeped, their forms slowly expand. The buds then rise upwards like bamboo shoots breaking through the earth, releasing a rich fragrance that fills the air and delights the senses—truly top-tier aromatic tea. At the 1995 Second China Agricultural Expo, Dragon Pearl Tea won the gold award for its unique quality. At the 1996 First International Agricultural Expo in Qingdao, Dragon Pearl Tea received the "International High-Tech Processing Award," and Phoenix Crown Tea was honored with the "International Recommended New Product Award." At the 1997 gathering hosted by the China National Food Industry Association and the China Association for International Science and Technology Cooperation, both Dragon Pearl and Phoenix Crown Teas were awarded the silver prize at the "1997 China International Tea Fair." Other varieties such as "Pangu Silver Tip," "Pangu Tea," and "Pangu Maojian" feature eyebrow-shaped leaves, with sharp, sword-like forms and fine fuzz covering their bodies. When brewed, they display a spectacular "sword forest" effect, with a lasting, high aroma, bright liquor, mellow taste, and sweet aftertaste. These have consistently been rated as high-quality teas at the provincial and regional levels.

　　　　    The newly developed "Pangu Divine Tea" recently took second place at the April 2000 Ganzhou City Agricultural Expo. The Pangu Tea series is known for its tightly rolled leaves, fragrant taste, tender leaves, thick leaf base, visible fuzz, and vibrant green color, along with a rich and mellow flavor. Experts have determined that regular consumption can help refresh the mind, aid digestion, promote urination, lower blood pressure, support weight loss, and contribute to longevity.
