I have never been familiar with tea affairs, but as a native of Yangxi, I naturally know that Camellia in my hometown is unusual, so I have a special yearning for it, always wanting to be close to it and understand its "past life" and "present life". To this end, I went to the bamboo forest in Dongshui Mountain, thinking that I could meet Dongshui Mountain Tea Garden at the hillside of Dongshui Village. Unexpectedly, I was disappointed every time I looked for it. In this way, Dongshuishan tea garden has always been a "distant place" in my heart, and Dongshuishan tea is still so familiar but strange, near but far away, obvious but mysterious.

Until that weekend, I joined the collection team of Yangxi County Writers Association, and I was lucky enough to reach the "distant place" I dreamed of. When the car passed through the green bamboo forest and wound on the narrow and slippery cement mountain road, I realized why the "distance" in my heart has been so far away. Dongshui Camellia, named "Top Ten Famous Tea in Guangdong", has its own uniqueness after all. I still can't forget the thrilling trip up the mountain: the hard-bottomed cement mountain road was curved and narrow, and the car tried its best to climb up, and finally climbed a ramp, but I didn't expect it to be a sharp bend after bypassing the stone. This is how the car climbed all the way, constantly interspersed between the stones. Sitting in the car, I just saw that the stone could not see the road, and my heart was like playing drums!

Finally, the car finally stopped on the flat land at an altitude of more than 600 meters. I was still worried when I got off the bus, but immediately, I was shocked by the surrounding scenery. This is a hilltop basin, green. Looking around, one side is surrounded by green mountains, and the other side is the top of the mountain. "Once you climb to the top of the mountain and peek, you will see that other mountains are short in the sky." . One side is blue sky and white clouds, the breeze is Xu Lai, and the other side is misty. In front of us are green tea trees, which are lush and lush, extending from the flat ground in front of us to the middle of the mountain, forming a series of green "terraces", neat, spectacular and beautiful. Over the "terraced fields", the fog curtain hangs low, ethereal and ethereal, like the gauze laid by tea fairies, half covering their shyness and indescribable beauty, as if they had entered a paradise, and as if they were in a fairyland on earth, like a dream. Friends of literature and art can't help but marvel that the fragrance of Camellia Dongshui is at the peak of danger!

At that time, I didn't dare to speak loudly, and I didn't want to destroy the peace in this "fairyland". I walked into the teahouse gently, and delicate leaves and buds, like lovely elves, were poking their heads out of waist-high tea trees to share the sunshine and rain here. I can't help reaching out and stroking them gently. Some of those green leaves have been stretched to the fullest, and some are still curled up shyly, but no matter what posture, they are full of vitality. Standing in the tea garden, there is always a faint fragrance that is refreshing and intoxicating, which makes people involuntarily close their eyes, take a deep breath greedily and absorb the intoxicating fragrance. At this time, there will be a cool feeling on my face, and I don't know whether it is fog beads or rain, which moistens the green. From time to time, there was a burst of birdsong in my ear, which was so sweet in the quiet valley. At this moment, birds are singing and tea is fragrant, and mountains are foggy, which makes people "intoxicated, and I don't know where to go"!

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Some friends from the literary and art circles are calling me. Reluctantly walked out of the tea garden, my literary friends and I strolled along a cement road between the tea gardens. The breeze blows gently, with the fragrance of tea trees, refreshing! Fog on the mountain comes and goes in various forms. In the flat green at the foot of the mountain, a rugged stone stands high in the tea garden, like a calm old man staring at this green. High mountains surround a green plain. Not far away, an umbrella-shaped swaying tree stood quietly on the flat tea tree, which became a far-reaching picture in the lens, poetic and beautiful. Everyone can't help but indulge in the picture in front of them and stop and linger.

On the mountain, there are bushes, and under the mountain, there are a lot of tea trees. Here, it is both a tea garden and a forest. Hard-working and kind Dongshui people always advocate nature, relying on mountains to eat mountains, while paying attention to the natural ecological balance and carefully safeguarding the beauty of the original ecology. Even a stone or a tree is not easily destroyed. What a commendable quality.

The tea farm where tea is processed is next to the tea garden. It is a processing factory with a modern technology assembly line, and the tea produced in this tea garden is processed here. The processing plant is spacious, clean, tidy and sanitary, and smells fragrant. Sitting in the living room, you can see the vitality outside the door as soon as you turn your head, and the clouds are floating around. There, I drank the fragrant tea in this original ecological tea garden. Black tea is red, bright and transparent, fragrant and mellow. Green tea is green and clear, emitting a faint scent of flowers and plants, elegant and mellow, refreshing. After all, it is a unique tea growing on the original ecological mountain, and each one is fragrant and refreshing. "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan", in fact, tea is intoxicating, so why drink it? Drinking tea in the tea garden at the top of the mountain is "leisurely seeing Nanshan in the breeze", which makes people forget the customs and is as comfortable as Tao Yuanming.

Dongshuishan Tea Garden, an original ecological pure land and a natural oxygen bar, makes people linger. At dusk, when the car slowly descended to the foot of the mountain, drove out of the bamboo forest and drove on a flat road, the sweetness of Camellia Dongshui was still in the mouth. "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". Simple and kind people in Dongshui, with respect for nature and hard-working hands, opened up this tea garden like a paradise on this unique mountain, created a local industry with unique rural characteristics, and enriched one side of the country.
