Erlang Yunwu Tea

Erlang Yunwu Tea

　　Erlang Yunwu Tea is a specialty of Guosheng Township, Yanbian County, Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province. The leaves of Erlang Yunwu Tea are delicate in appearance, vibrant green in color, and produce a clear, bright green liquor. It has a mellow, sweet aftertaste, a long-lasting chestnut aroma, and a uniquely fragrant orchid note, making it an excellent choice for drinking.

　　Yanbian Erlang Tea Industry Co., Ltd. (registered trademarks: Erlang, Erlang Yunwu), established in August 2004, is a new-type limited liability company integrating the production, processing, and sales of local specialties such as tea and edible fungi. Its main product is the premium Guosheng green tea “Erlang Yunwu.” The company has a registered capital of 2 million yuan, with current assets nearing 10 million yuan. Its tea production base is located at the foot of the picturesque Bailin Mountain in Guosheng Township. The factory covers an area of over 1,500 square meters. The company owns more than 20 advanced processing machines for premium teas and has complete tea quality inspection facilities. Its annual tea processing capacity is designed to be 20 tons.

　　The raw materials for the “Erlang Yunwu” series of premium green teas produced by Yanbian Erlang Tea Industry Co., Ltd. come from Bailin Mountain in Guosheng Township. This area enjoys a mild climate, abundant rainfall, distinct seasons, ample sunlight and heat, fertile soil, and rich vegetation, with clouds and mist lingering year-round. The average annual temperature is 16.6 degrees Celsius, with annual rainfall ranging from 1,200 mm to 2,000 mm. The highest elevation reaches 4,195 meters, while the lowest is 1,460 meters, resulting in an altitude difference of 2,370 meters — a true reflection of the saying “High mountains and cloudy mists produce fine tea.” In terms of production and processing, the “Erlang Yunwu” series combines the unique techniques of nearly ten types of renowned Chinese teas such as Longjing, Zhuyeqing, Xinyang Maojian, and Nanjing Yuhua Tea. Through repeated experiments and research, it has developed a set of processing technologies better suited to the characteristics of the tea leaves grown in Guosheng. Premium raw materials combined with meticulous processing result in the outstanding quality of “Erlang Yunwu”: beautiful shape, clear liquor, green leaves, mellow taste, and high fragrance.

　　In 2005, based on thorough investigation and research into the quality characteristics of the raw materials from the Guosheng ecological tea base, Erlang Tea Industry drew inspiration from the unique processing methods of well-known domestic teas. Utilizing modern tea production engineering technology, the company boldly innovated its techniques and developed three major product series — “Chunjian (Spring Tip),” “Chunya (Spring Sprout),” and “Maofeng (Hairy Tip)” — under the flagship brand “Erlang Yunwu.” In 2006, to further segment the market and meet the needs of different consumer groups, the company launched seven new series, including “Jinyunwu (Golden Cloud Mist),” “Yinyunwu (Silver Cloud Mist),” and “Yunzhen (Cloud Needle).”

　　The “Erlang Yunwu” series of premium teas is a flagship product meticulously crafted by Erlang Tea Industry. It won an Excellent Quality Award at the “Huaming Cup” 2005 National Premium Tea Competition hosted by the China Tea Marketing Association, was designated as an official product for the 2005 Sichuan Winter Tourism Festival, and was named a featured tourism product by Yanbian County Government.
