Songfeng Green Tea
The cultivation and processing of tea leaves have a long history in Puyi. The world-renowned "Songfeng Green Tea" gets its name from the Songfeng Mountain in Yangloudong, Puyi, where it is primarily produced. The two nearly ten-foot-tall ancient parent tea bushes on Songfeng Mountain, hailed as the "King of Songfeng Tea," remain lush and exude a refreshing fragrance.
Songfeng Green Tea is distinctive in style—vibrantly green in color, with a lofty aroma, clear and bright liquor, tender and evenly green leaf bases, and tightly rolled, uniformly shaped leaves. It is the flagship product of the Yangloudong Tea Farm. Its enduring popularity is supported by the area’s naturally superior conditions: the fertile soil of Songfeng Mountain, moderate rainfall, and mild climate.
In recent years, thanks to the hard work of the tea workers at the farm, Songfeng Green Tea has gained nationwide acclaim. In 1982, it was named "The Best Stir-Fried Green Tea in Hubei Province"; in 1983, it received the "Hubei Province Quality Green Tea Certificate." In 1984, Professor Zhang Tangheng, a renowned tea expert and professor at Zhejiang Agricultural University, personally tasted Songfeng Green Tea and spoke highly of it, calling it the "Crown of Green Teas." In June 1985, it was further honored as a "National Quality Tea" at the National Famous Tea Evaluation.
Today, the Songfeng Green Tea produced by the Puyi Yangloudong Tea Farm, which boasts ten thousand acres of tea gardens, enjoys brisk sales both domestically and internationally, earning widespread praise and admiration from tea enthusiasts.
