Tea History
The main reason for the name "Yuexi Cuilan" is that this tea is green in color and resembles an orchid, which is produced in Yuexi. There are other reasons. First, Cuilan tea is developed on the basis of the traditional craftsmanship of the historically famous tea "Little Orchid" produced in the Yaohe and Toutuohe areas in the northeastern part of Yuexi County. It has a "green and fresh" quality. The characteristics are outstanding, hence the name. The second is that Yuexi County belongs to the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, with a good ecological environment, and the bluegrass flowers are all over the mountains, which is eye-catching. After the Ming Dynasty Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to capture Yuexi, he named it "Lanhua County". As there are many orchids, the tea here is naturally infiltrated with the aroma of orchids.
In 1985, it was awarded the title of "High-quality Agricultural Products" by the Ministry of Agriculture and was named one of the first batch of newly created "Top Ten Famous Teas" in New China.
In 2008, won the Gold Award of the 7th International (Korea) Famous Tea Competition
