Major:

Jiuhuashan Buddha Tea (Yunxiang Tea): Jiuhuashan Buddha Tea is one of the famous specialties of Jiuhuashan. The tea farm here is nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains and peaks, with pine forests and bamboo forests, flying springs and moist valleys, and fragrant grass.

It is said that Jin Qiaojue, the incarnation of Di Chin Tibetan, traveled across the sea from Silla to the Tang Dynasty to seek the Dharma, and went through hardships to find this immortal Jiuhua Mountain. Thanks to the kindness of the mountain owner Min Gongxiang, the Jiuhua 99 Peak was made his Dojo. That spring, the spring rain lasted for more than half a month, and Jiuhua Mountain was immersed in dense fog and drizzle. The land of gold is hidden in a cave, and the chanting does not stop. Suddenly, I heard the sound of beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep The tea seeds are buried and grow better every day. In March, it grew into a lush tea garden, full of fragrance.

Jiuhua Buddha tea produced here absorbs the moisture of mountains, fog and dew day and night, and sucks the aura of exotic flowers and plants alone. The soup is green and has a sweet aftertaste. At the same time, due to the extremely cold climate, the temperature difference between day and night is large, while Fiona Fang is vast and sparsely populated, and the tea garden has no pests, pesticides and industrial pollution, so it is a natural organic ecological tea garden.

Tremella fuciformis is a perennial plant, a composite organism of fungi and algae. Distributed in mountains and cliffs, commonly known as "land". Rainy days are like mushrooms, so the locals are also called "ground mushrooms". Sex is "sweet and non-toxic" and "can improve eyesight and replenish essence". It is a high-grade green food, and the output is not much, which is in short supply.
