Coconut Immortal Bitter Tea

　　Hainan’s Famous Specialty: “Coconut Immortal Brand” Bitter Tea

　　　　Among the many kinds of bitter tea products, when judged by the overall qualities of color, aroma, taste, shape, and medicinal effects, the “Coconut Immortal Brand” Bitter Tea from Chengmai Wanchang Bitter Tea Farm is the top choice. Its premium quality is largely due to its distinctive cultivation, harvesting, and processing methods.

　　　　The cultivation characteristics of the Chengmai Wanchang Bitter Tea Farm are mainly as follows:

　　　　1. Selecting purebred seeds, using only authentic Ilex kudingcha seedlings.

　　　　2. Employing organic farming methods without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The tea is grown entirely with organic fertilizer, resulting in thick leaves rich in oil and nutrients, offering a naturally sweet taste and excellent infusability. Pest control is achieved through physical methods rather than chemical pesticides, fundamentally eliminating any potential contamination and ensuring that the product is free from any chemical pesticide residues. This preserves the tea’s original flavor and meets the national standards for green food production.

　　　　3. The soil is rich in various nutrients, minerals, and trace elements essential for plant growth. The tea is cultivated in a region of lateritic soil developed from basalt formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. This soil has been weathered from volcanic rock over tens of thousands of years. The farm is located in a basin-like area surrounded by higher ground, where eroded volcanic rock and abundant organic matter have accumulated over millennia at the low center, forming a fertile alluvial plain. The loose, thick soil is high in organic content and minerals, leading to nutrient-rich plants. As a result, the bitter tea produced here is fragrant, highly infusible, and rich in oil.

　　　　4. The tea plantation is located in a mountainous area with frequent fog and lies within a high lightning activity zone. The air is rich in ozone and negative ions, which greatly benefit the growth of the tea trees and the formation of their nutrients.

　　　　The harvesting and processing requirements are very stringent: 1. Only the freshest and tenderest bitter tea buds are selected, with very specific criteria for tenderness: first, the leaf surface must have a bright, glossy sheen, with thick, soft leaves; second, the color should be purplish-red or light green; third, the buds must be picked immediately after the morning dew has dried. 2. The tea farm combines traditional Chinese medicine health theories with traditional manual processing techniques to develop a unique bitter tea processing method that ensures the tea’s original flavor. The top-grade bitter tea undergoes 16 processing steps including fixation, rolling, and drying. Each step has very strict requirements, and even the materials used—such as charcoal—are carefully selected (specifically from lychee and longan wood). To maintain quality, each worker can process no more than 1 jin (approximately 500 grams) of top-grade bitter tea per day, which speaks to the tea’s delicacy and value.

　　　　The “Coconut Immortal Brand” top-grade bitter tea produced by Chengmai Wanchang Bitter Tea Farm features a golden-green, clear, and bright infusion, a refreshing and pleasant taste, an enticing aroma, and exceptional infusability—one top-grade bud can provide enough tea for an average person to drink all day. One jin (500g) of top-grade bitter tea contains about 1,500 buds, which could supply one person for over four years. Research and clinical trials have shown that “Coconut Immortal Brand” Bitter Tea contains kudinoside, flavonoids, humulene sterol, α-amyrin, β-sitosterol, ursolic acid, along with multiple essential vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements needed by the human body. It effectively regulates metabolism and significantly lowers total serum cholesterol and triglycerides in patients with high blood lipids, while improving the HDL/LDL ratio. The overall effectiveness rate for reducing blood lipids is 94.8%, and for treating simple obesity it is 92.5%. The tea is non-toxic, with no side effects or allergic reactions. It shows significant therapeutic effects on cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, elevated cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart disease. It can also prevent and treat ailments such as sore throat, pharyngitis, obesity, colitis, hemorrhoids, and more. It has heat-clearing, fire-purging, thirst-quenching, saliva-promoting, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, diarrhea-stopping, pain-relieving, greasy-food-counteracting, and hangover-alleviating effects. The tea can be boiled for external washing to treat various skin diseases. Regular consumption can strengthen the body, promote longevity, and thus it is hailed as the “Longevity Tea” and “Beauty Tea.” It is an ideal, all-natural, multi-functional health product derived from plants.
