Let's talk about what high mountain green tea is.

　　What is high-mountain green tea? High-mountain green tea generally refers to tea leaves grown at altitudes above 1500 meters. Compared to ordinary green tea, its growth cycle and picking time are extended by 20 days to a month. High-mountain green tea buds are important materials for making high-end green tea. What are the main characteristics of high-mountain green tea?

　　The saying "high mountains produce good tea" is common because high-mountain green tea enjoys long periods of sunlight and lower temperatures, which are conducive to the formation of aromatic substances in fresh leaves, resulting in a fresh and charming aroma. So, what are the characteristics of high-mountain green tea? Among green teas, high-mountain green tea is also known as "high-mountain cloud and mist tea", or simply "cloud and mist tea", referring to tea plants grown in the clouds and mist of high mountains.

　　The light on high mountains is mainly composed of blue and violet light. Under the effect of blue and violet light, tea leaves are less likely to produce polysaccharides and phenolic substances that affect taste, resulting in a more lingering aroma, sweeter taste, and clearer tea liquor. Due to the high altitude of tea plantations, the water and soil conservation capacity is relatively poor, so the root system of high-mountain tea is more developed.

　　The roots of these tea plants can reach deep into the soil, absorbing water and nutrients; and in the deep soil, minerals are abundant and pollution is minimal. Therefore, the quality of the tea is reflected in its clear and sweet taste. High mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist throughout the year, with high air humidity, abundant scattered light, and large temperature differences. These conditions match the requirements of tea plants for their growing environment, benefiting the formation of certain substances in the tea leaves, making the leaves tender and the taste light, smooth, and mellow.
