Exploring Wuyi Mountain: Map of the origin of the national park
This beautiful land, with an average altitude of 1,000 meters, is always shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. It has given birth to many things that cannot be replicated, and is a product that marks a special geographical location.
For those travelers who really know how to taste, what they take away is not only the majestic memory of Qinglong Falls, but also the authentic scenery originating from this core area marked as the place of origin.
Below, we go up the river to reveal for you the taste codes hidden in the mountains and rivers.
Wuyi rock tea : the aroma of rock bones and flowers bred in Zhengyan mountain farm
Lu Yu, the tea sage, said in the "Tea Classic" that "the best produces rotten rocks." The "rotten rocks" gravel soil, which covers an area of 70 square kilometers and is located in the Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area, formed by the weathering of the Danxia landform, is exactly the punctuation mark of the source of the rock tea's character.
Pour the boiling water into the pot, and you will see that the dry tea strings are tightly connected, strong and full, with a dark and moist color, and a precious treasure light; after the boiling water is brewed, the aroma is rich, as fragrant as an orchid, and is deep, long, and long-lasting. The cold fragrance after hanging the cup is even more exquisite and unparalleled.
When a cup of tea soup enters the mouth, it does not just have a single taste of bitterness, but when you drink it thickly, you can't see a trace of bitterness. Immediately afterwards, it transforms into a clear and sweet taste, and the speed of producing fluid and returning sweetness is very quick. This extremely unique "rock rhyme" is the result of the interaction of the gravel soil and the unique microclimate.
Langu smoked goose : the smoky flavor of a farm feast in northern Fujian
In Wuyi Mountain , if we talk about the "hardest dish" to go with the meal, it must be Langu smoked goose .
This traditional family dish originated in Langu Township. Its authentic attributes are first reflected in the selection of materials, that is, it must use local geese that feed on grass-fed valleys. The meat of this kind of local geese is firm and less fatty.
The core of the production technique lies in the word "smoke", which emphasizes the aroma of smoke penetrating into the bones .
The goose is braised with secret marinade until it is cooked and fragrant. This step determines the basic salty and fresh taste of the goose meat. It is then placed on an iron pot, and the best quality glutinous rice produced in Wuyi Mountain is sprinkled on the bottom of the pot. Dry tea leaves (usually crushed rock tea) and a small amount of star anise are slowly roasted over low heat.
As the smoke rises upward, the burnt aroma of the glutinous rice intertwines with the fresh aroma of the tea leaves and the spicy aroma of the spices, tightly enveloping every tiny fiber of the goose meat.
The finished dish is golden red and shiny, and the gelatin under the sebum is crystal clear.
At the moment of entry, a strong, smoky flavor represented by that specific color emerges quickly and turbulently, followed by a mellow aroma similar to that after marinating and the fresh and sweet taste of the goose meat itself. The meat is tough but not like the taste of firewood. When you tear it, a large amount of juice will flow out. This is definitely an excellent choice as a meal accompaniment or as a supplement to drinking.
Wuyi Ziziphus Cake : a natural gift from wild South Ziziphus jujube

Only a small amount of sucrose or maltose is added for seasoning, and a little perilla or chili is used to add flavor, and it is dried or dried.
The high-quality Wuyi Sour Date Cake, which is brownish red in color and transparent and beautiful, is chewy and chewy. When you first eat it, a refreshing and sour taste will be introduced into your mouth, which activates your taste buds in an instant, followed by a long sweet aftertaste.
