  The Anxi tie guan yin tea in Fujian is now in pollution-free cultivation, while the most critical technical measure is to master the garden soil management and fertilization technology.

1.The technology of tea garden soil management

a. Technical measures of soil tillage and effective roles

The pollution-free tea garden emphasis much more on moderate and deep cultivating.Moderate cultivation usually being conducted before the spring tea, once a year with the depth from 10-15cm, which is good for the germination and new leaves growing of the spring tea.The deep cultivation usually conducted once or twice a year has a strong effect on aging and promoting soil, thickening live soil, and decreasing pests.However, the deep cultivation may easily break the tree roots, so it is a high-tech measure and harder to master. It requires flexible cultivating times.Deep cultivations in all types of tea gardens are being conducted after the autumn tea( winter), together with the spraying lime sulfur and comprehensively cleaning work.

b. The technical measure of soil covering

After the shallow plowing, picking the safe, clean and pollution-free straw and weeds to cover the soil 10cm far from the root before the drought. The cover is required to be uniform and thickness of 8-10cm and the soil should not be seen.In the tea gardens on the sloping fields, people put the cover in horizontal direction, which may protect from the straight rush of rain, as well prevent the cover accumulating when rain water flows.Deep cultivation in autumn and winter may not only turn the covers over into the bottom to be fertilizers but also prevent weeds and soil erosion, so that may adjust the earth temperature to promote growing.

c. The technical measure of cultivating garden with external earth

The pollution-free Dragon well tea gardens should choose the fertile red earth, yellow earth, the red-yellow earth and other clean earth and take to gardens after the tea season every year.。When fill the earth, different nature of tea gardens require different texture of earth.Tea garden with clay requires red sandy earth; the tea garden with sandy earth requires clay; the tea aging garden requires red and yellow earth.

d. The technical measure of intercropping

  The tea tree intercropping technology focuses on deal with problems according to the separate tree and the reasonable grasping. For the young tea plantation, people should select legumes, such as soybeans, green beans, peanuts or creeping of the compounds such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. When intercropping, the density should be reasonable, green manure and the tea tree need to maintain an appropriate distance, taking double row hole species, 2 to 3 per hole. When the crops matured should be harvested as soon as possible, and promptly turned leaf stems buried in soil. For adult tea trees, people should choose the deep-rooted water fight fat umbrella-type fruit that not sharing water and fertilizer with trees, such as oil persimmon, longan, red bayberry, peach, plum, etc. Intercropping should be based on coverage and tea tea growing to decide the planting density and the tree varieties, which may control the shade rate from 20% to 30%.

Tie guan yin tea, is created by the people in Anxi of Fujian province during the year of 1725-1735. It is the representive of oolong, one of the Chinese ten famous tea. Tie guan yin tea is between the green tea and black tea, belonging to half-fermentation tea. Tie guan yin tea has its own “Kwan-yin lingering charm”, fresh and elegant. In spite of the general health keeping effect, tie guan yin tea also has effects of anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-diabetes, diet fitting, anti-caries, heat curing, sobering up and obstructing smoking.

  The summer tie guan yin tea, i.e., tea picked and made in the hottest season of the year, which takes 20% of the total production of the whole year. The leaves picked at that time are the worst of the four seasons. In appearance, the leaves are loose and nonuniform with dim color. As to the quality, the aroma is not high while the tea water is weak and bitter. The summer tea costs less because that it doesn’t partition a long time from the harvest of spring Dragon well tea, the nutrient accumulated in the tree is little while the temperature is high with much rainfall, which costs nutrient quickly. Therefore, only few of branches germinated and grew, causing poor inclusion.

Drinking tea, this is a very common and simple thing, both dignitaries and people know how to drink tea: as long as add tea into cups with hot water, that’s it. However, speaking of the teaism, that’s a big issue. Most people will stay at a respectful distance from it for its cockamamie steps.
The tea ceremony, is the way of tea drinking. When the tie guan yin tea utensils, cooking method, teahouse layout, etiquette, the conversation topic and so on are a series of decorous and exquisite steps. They are all very strict rules, each step is rigid and finished without carelessness. I’m afraid it’s even more rigid than the dama. The dama is after all handing down from our own ancestors from generation to generation, but the tea ceremony is an imported good, is passed from an island country to the mainland of China. Teaism is proper drinking art of Japanese nation. It observes the “four rules and seven principles” to show the spirit of “harmony, respect, tranquility and silence”. It’s said that the tea ceremony has been an important way and method to promote harmony of families in the country.
As for the Dragon well tea ceremony, Zhou Zuoren the famous writer has explained as this: “the meaning of tea ceremony, with ordinary words, can be called “snatch a little leisure from a busy life or taking enjoyment from pain”. That means enjoy the beauty and harmony even in the incomplete society, experience eternal right with instant, which is a representive art of Japanese “culture of symbolization”. Half a century has past, but his words are still meaningful now.
In today’s commercial society and market economy, we introduced the exotic tea ceremony and combined it with the tea culture in China to make more pure taste of tea. At the same time, the tea skills of each Chinese nationa had carried forward in the process of China’s reform and opening up and economy reinvigoration. Both the tea ceremony and the tea skill are important parts of the world’s tea culture. It provides a splendid reason and chance for people to “snatch a little leisure from a busy life or taking enjoyment from pain”, and developed into a lever to push the development of tour and regional economic growth.

Tie guan yin tea, with rich chemical ingredients, is natural body-building beverage. Drinking it regularly is good for keeping skin white, clean and tender as well as reducing wrinkle.

If your eyes are tired by overuse, you may clean eyes by cold tie guan yin tea, and spray some cold water a few minutes later and pat it dried, which is helpful to alleviate fatigue.

The main reasons causing the black eye are lack of sleep, overuse of eyes, long time stimulation, lack of vitamin B12, slight inflammation, anemia, long exposure in the sun, heredity, careless nurse and menstruation. Therefore, we may prevent it according to different situations. The best way to prevent the black eye is to work and rest in gear with enough sleep and balanced nutrition; get more exercise and more fresh air to reduce pressure; avoid exposuring in the sun to reduce the black melanin. The easiest way to remove the black eye: dip two bags of tie guan yin leaves into water, put the tea bags on closed eyes one for one for 15 minutes. Or wrap ice with a handkerchief and keep it on eyes for minutes. Keep doing that!

For the damaged skin in the sun, you may also get a piece of cotton, dip some Dragon well tea and rub the skin. Cosmetic on eyes must be removed quietly before sleep, but if clean it without right ways, eyes would be red and swelled. Better dip the tie guan yin tea bags in warm water for 10 minutes, then put the wet bags around eyes, not be too close to eyes.
