北茶之源 海青镇

北纬36°,一条神奇的纬度线!这里,是四大文明古国的诞生地,也是出＂世界小姐＂最多的地方;这里,蕴藏著许多著名的自然之谜,种种奇景奇物怪事数不胜数;这里,也是茶叶所能生长的纬度最高的地方,海青镇被誉为＂青岛茶叶之乡＂海青茶,因产于青岛海青镇而得名。

Haiqing,a small town,is renowned for tea.Among the total 300,000 mu(200 square kilometers) of tea farm in Shandong Province,the Qingdao West Coast New Area accounts for 1/4,while Haiqing takes a half of that in the New Area,boasting the town with the highest latitude and the largest scale of tea planting in the north of the Yangtze River.The unique geographical conditions have won the nickname 'Little Jiangnan' for Haiqing,which boasts sound climate like that in the southeast of China.Furthermore,the high latitude and coastal location with a large day-night temperature difference makes the over-wintering period of tea trees here one to two months longer than that of South China.It is the natural endowment that endows Haiqing tea with unique qualities.Today, 'Haiqing Tea' is on the ride of building the national new area in Qingdao West Coast,rising with great strength.Just like the ancient poem goes, 'having a good taste of fine tea in the bamboo grove is better than being drunk by natural beauty'.In the near future,Qingdao West Coast New Area will again present such an elegant tea drinking view as described in the poem.
