Xianren Mountain Cloud Mist Tea

Xianren Mountain Cloud Mist Tea

　　 Xianren Mountain Cloud Mist Tea is a specialty of Xianren Mountain in Tongzi County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. It is characterized by its tender leaves, superior quality, uniform appearance, deep green glossiness, high fragrance with long-lasting aroma, yellow-green and bright tea liquor, and a refreshing, rich taste.

　　 The tea is made from the tender buds and leaves harvested before the Qingming Festival from tea trees on Xianren Mountain, the main peak of the Dalou Mountains in Tongzi County. It is crafted using traditional methods and includes main products such as “Xianren Sprout Tips,” “Xianren Emerald Slices,” and a series of pan-fired green teas.

　　 The tea-growing area, nestled among mountains, is perpetually shrouded in clouds and mist. The dense forests and tea plantations complement each other—where there is forest, there is tea, and where there is tea, there is forest. This area is free from industrial pollution and is a typical natural ecological zone, which gives the tea its qualities of tender leaves, superior quality, uniform appearance, deep green glossiness, high fragrance with long-lasting aroma, yellow-green and bright tea liquor, and a refreshing, rich taste.

　　 After the Spring Festival and on the eve of Qingming, when morning dew glistens and new tea buds first emerge, they absorb the pure air of heaven and earth and the essence of the land’s beauty. Their shape resembles sword-like sprouts or lotus bud tips. Since they are produced on Xianren Mountain, they are called “Xianren Tea Tips.”

　　 The Xianren Mountain Cloud Mist Tea Factory in Tongzi County is located at Dahekou in Guancang Town. The factory's predecessor was the Guancang Supply and Marketing Cooperative Tea Factory, established in 1986. Its premium-grade products such as “Xianren Tea Tips” and “Xianren Emerald Slices” have been tasted by experts from within and outside the province and have achieved the quality standards of renowned local specialties. It has become another local delicacy of Tongzi County, following the square bamboo shoots and large white beans. These teas are sold to cities across the country and abroad including Beijing, Hebei, Fujian, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Guiyang, and Zunyi, and have become the preferred choice for government offices, restaurants, teahouses, and officials and staff.
