Where is the exact origin of Huangshan Maofeng?

Tangkou, Gangcun, Yangcun, and Fangcun outside the Huangshan Scenic Area are important producing areas of Maofeng in Huangshan Mountain. The quality of Huangshan Maofeng produced in Taohua Peak, Yungu Temple, Ciguang Pavilion, Diaoqiao Nunnery, Chongchuan, and other places is the best.
Why does Huangshan produce good tea?
Light is the primary condition for the survival of tea trees. Tea trees have special requirements for ultraviolet rays. The sunlight cannot be too strong or too weak.
Huangshan has good soil quality, warm and humid, high humidity, and foggy. There are more than 200 days of cloud and fog in a year. The light is blocked by the mist, which strengthens the red and yellow light so that the content of amino acids, aromatic substances, and water in the shoots and leaves is significantly increased, and the new nodes of the tea tree can be kept fresh for a long time and not easy to grow old. It is very beneficial to improve tea leaves’ color, aroma, taste, and tenderness. Therefore, Huangshan has produced many good teas since ancient times.
When was Huangshan Maofeng listed?
There is a tea proverb in the Huangshan area: “tea before summer, grass after summer.” Huangshan Maofeng generally only picks spring tea; summer tea and autumn tea are not picked. Spring tea is usually decided before and after Qingming and Grain Rain until the end of Lixia. Spring tea before and after Qingming has fresh leaves, and it is not easy to suffer from pests and diseases, so the quality is better.
