the third spring city modern agricultural exhibition held recently in Quancheng Square, the showroom tea booth from Changqing District attracted many visitors' eyes, many people were surprised. "Ji'nan also made tea," he said. Zhang Jianguo, deputy secretary of the Ji'nan municipal Party committee and mayor of the city, tasted the green green tea at the scene of the exhibition, and praised its taste as Longjing in West Lake, and expressed the hope that the Jinan people would be able to drink our local tea in Ji'nan. A few days ago, the reporter went to Changqing Ling Yan scenic spot to visit the producing area of Ling Yan tea.
the soil in Ji'nan can also grow tea to bring tea to
the tea of Shandong. People will first think of sunshine tea and Laoshan tea. For Ji'nan, the vast majority of the Jinan people may think that tea can not be planted in Ji'nan's climate and soil conditions.
"I have always been unconvinced. Why can we not grow tea in Ji'nan?" A few days ago, the reporter saw Dong Qingguo, chairman of the Ji'nan Li Taishan Tea Co., Ltd., who looked more like a farmer from the tea farm and told the reporter that he began to sell tea from the south to Ji'nan from the south in 1985. After the accumulation of funds in 1999, he began to practice his own years. A dream came to grow tea in the land of Changqing, Ji'nan.
at that time Dong Qingguo introduced the southern "Longjing No. 43" and "Shu tea early" tea seeds, invited the agricultural experts from Beijing to do the experiment. After the experiment, it was found that the pH value of the land in Ji'nan is high and the water is relatively short of water. These are all factors that affect the tea production. But as long as the soil is reformed and the climate is more suitable, Ji'nan can also grow tea. After several years of exploration, Dong Qingguo chose to expand the tea garden on Ling Yan Mountain. At present, there are more than 600 acres of tea garden, which produces more than 10 thousand jin of green rock green tea annually.
the unique microclimate of the Taishan mountains is suitable for the growth of the tea tree
the reporter followed Dong Qingguo to the horse set mountain in the scenic area of the spirit rock. Love.
according to local villagers, the former mountain is mainly planted hawthorn, chestnut and so on, but at present the villagers will grow tea voluntarily, because the yield of a year of tea can reach more than 10000 yuan, and is more than the other crops.
Why did you choose to grow tea on the mountain rocks? Dong Qingguo said that the Ling Yan Mountain belongs to the Taishan mountains, with abundant vegetation and abundant rainfall, forming a unique humid mountain climate, which is very suitable for the growth of tea plants. "We have done a special experiment. The pH value of the soil on the mountain is relatively low, which is very beneficial to the transformation of the soil. At the same time, many pine trees can be seen on the mountain. In general, the pine trees are more suitable for tea trees."
"compared with the green tea produced in the south, Ye Zihou, pea flavor and chestnut fragrance are the three characteristics of Ling Yan tea." Dong Qingguo said, because this is the distribution center of the Mu Yu stone, the soil is rich in various minerals, and the tea plants grown on this land are equally nutritious.
