Two Days and One Night: Learning Tea-Making in Wuyi Mountain!

"World black tea originated in Wuyi, and Lapsang Souchong was born here!" Amidst the verdant pines and valleys of Tongmu Pass, I personally touched the warmth of this centuries-old intangible cultural heritage craft. Turns out, the legendary "longan sweetness + pinewood aroma"🍵 hides in this secret paradise~ 📍Address: Tongmu Village, Xingcun Town, Wuyi City (Birthplace of black tea!) 🚗Transport: 1.5-hour direct chartered ride from downtown Wuyi (prior registration required, as Tongmu Pass is part of the national park core zone) 🏡Accommodation: Guadun Past Stories Homestay (a renovated former primary school) 🚶【Itinerary Experience】 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏 Wuyi Mountain High-Speed Rail Station → Tongmu Pass (1.5-hour drive), winding through misty mountain roads like entering a primeval forest🌲 First-time tea-making at Junde Tea Factory🔥 1️⃣ Withering + Rolling: Spreading tea leaves in the century-old "Green Building" (wooden withering tower), with pinewood smoke curling up. The master said, "Withering is the tea's moment to breathe." 2️⃣ Storytime: Master Liang Junde (creator of the first batch of Jin Jun Mei) shared his tea-learning journey since age 15, with 22 generations preserving traditional techniques. 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐 1️⃣ Tea Mountain Exploration: Discovering century-old tea trees and learning the "one bud, three leaves" picking technique🌿 2️⃣ Red Pan Frying: Hands-on stir-frying fermented leaves in 200°C iron pans. 3️⃣ Triple Smoking & Roasting: Back to the Green Building! Slow pinewood smoking infuses the leaves with resinous fragrance, turning them dark and glossy✨ 4️⃣ Junde Black Tea Tasting🍵: Lapsang Souchong, Jin Jun Mei, High Mountain Old Bush, Xiao Chi Gan... 🍵 Lapsang Souchong's amber liquor gleams with golden rings, its smoky sweetness wrapping longan notes, with an enduring aftertaste—worth every second!✨ (Ps: But I adore Jin Jun Mei more—silky texture, fruity-honeyed layers, and lingering sweetness🍃) 🌱 From fresh leaves to brewed tea, Tongmu Pass dedicates centuries to perfecting pinewood-scented cups🫖 Fingertips burning from the red pan, nostrils filled with the Green Building's woody warmth—only then do you understand: every sip of longan sweetness is a symbiotic poem between humans and wilderness. #100WaysToTravel #100StoriesOnTheRoad #InDepthTravelGuide #FourSeasonsOfTea #WuyiMountainTravel #HalfMeterTeaMat #TravelCreatorSupport #WuyiBlackTea #HandmadeTeaArtisan #TeaCultureExploration
