“At noon I wake to silence all around, as mountain boys tap tea mortars through the bamboo grove.” The great literary master Liu Zongyuan, on his way to take up an official post in Liuzhou, passed through Sanjiang and penned this peaceful ode to tea, indicating that the region’s folk tea culture was already quite prominent during the Tang Dynasty. Buyang tea is a newly developed eco-organic tea variety in recent years. The tea gardens are located on hillsides at elevations of 600–900 meters, where the air is fresh, the moisture abundant, and the temperature varies greatly between day and night—ideal conditions that have earned it the reputation of “China’s Earliest Spring Tea.”
Buyang tea leaves are emerald green in color, with a rich and lingering aroma, and produce a clear, bright infusion. The tea has won numerous special prizes, first prizes, and “Gold Awards” in national competitions for famous and high-quality teas. Visiting Sanjiang Buyang, you can not only enjoy the first taste of early spring green but also explore the renowned Dong ethnic group’s wind-and-rain bridges, immersing yourself in the unique charm of Dong culture.
Address: Buyang Village, Bajiang Township, Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, Liuzhou City
