Anyin Haofeng Tea

　　Anyin Haofeng Tea is a specialty of Anyin County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province. The main products of Anyin Haofeng Tea include Haofeng Maojian, Haofeng Yinzhen, Haofeng Oolong, Haofeng Ginseng Oolong, Haofeng Emerald Green, and Haofeng Green Tea King.

　　Haofeng Tea is produced in the Luoxiao Mountain Range—Anyin Haoshan in southeastern Hunan, at an altitude of 800–1400 meters, 15 kilometers from the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan. The area is covered with tea plantations on hillsides around Xianghetang, Daping, and Jiulong’an. The surrounding mountains are rolling and streams flow year-round. Surrounded by clouds and mist all year, the peaks and tea bushes present a lush green scene. Legend has it that when the Yan Emperor Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and was poisoned, he came here, drank tea, and was cured. Since then, Haofeng Tea has been passed down through generations. Later generations named the place where Shennong built a hut and cooked in the wild as Xianghetang, the resting place of his nine guards as Jiulong’an, and built the Temple of Shennong in the county town for worship. During the Song Dynasty, the “Cold Spring Stone Mountain” tribute tea was produced here. It is now a famous tea in Hunan, renowned throughout the region.
