Pingding guanshan forsythia tea

Forsythia suspensa, also known as golden bar; Every year in early spring, golden yellow flowers bloom, and when the flowers fall behind, they begin to spit out tender green buds. After processing and brewing the tender green buds, they can be made into drinkable health tea, which is called "Forsythia suspensa". There is a Guanshan Mountain in Pingding, Shanxi Province. Forsythia suspensa is all over the mountain. It can be used to brew and process tea, which can produce fluid and detoxify, clear away heat and purge fire. According to legend, one year Emperor Qianlong spent the summer in Chengde and drank forsythia tea in Yanyulou, which made him feel relaxed and refreshed. So I asked where the article came from, only to know that it was a specialty of Guanshan, Pingding Prefecture, Shanxi Province. Immediately, it was decreed that Guanshan Forsythia tea was a tribute, and 50 loads were offered every year for the royal family to drink. The method of making forsythia tea is not complicated, that is, the tender buds of forsythia are selected, washed with clear water and steamed in a cage for 5-10 minutes, preferably immature and soft; Drying or baking to obtain semi-finished products; Then simmer the chaff, screen off the powder, and then go through the processes of pit flower, jacquard, packaging and so on, which is the finished product. Its characteristics are: promoting fluid production to quench thirst, clearing away heat and purging fire, and refreshing.
