    ▒铁观音的传说▒

       安溪是福建省东南部靠近厦门的一个县,是闽南乌龙茶的主产区,种茶历史悠久,唐代已有茶叶出产。安溪境内雨量充沛,气候温和,适宜于茶树的生长,而且经历代茶人的辛勤劳动,选育繁殖了一系列茶树良种,目前境内保存的良种有60多个,铁观音、黄旦、本山、毛蟹、大叶乌龙、梅占等都属于全国知名良种。因此安溪有“茶树良种宝库”之称。在众多的茶树良种中,品质最优秀、知名度最高的要数“铁观音”了。

       铁观音原产安溪县西坪镇,已有200多年的历史,关于铁观音品种的由来,在安溪还留传着这样一个故事,相传,清乾隆年间。安溪西坪上尧茶农魏饮制得一手好茶,他每日晨昏泡茶三杯供奉观音菩萨,十年从不间断,可见礼佛之诚。一夜,魏饮梦见在山崖上有一株透发兰花香味的茶树,正想采摘时,一阵狗吠把好梦惊醒。第二天果然在崖石上发现了一株与梦中一模一样的茶树。于是采下一些芽叶,带回家中,精心制作。制成之后茶味甘醇鲜爽,精神为之一振。魏认为这是茶之王,就把这株茶挖回家进行繁殖。几年之后,茶树长得枝叶茂盛。因为此茶美如观音重如铁,又是观音托梦所获,就叫它“铁观音”。从此铁观音就名扬天下。铁观音是乌龙茶的极品,其品质特征是:茶条郑曲,肥壮圆结,沉重匀整,色泽砂绿,整体形状似晴蜓头、螺旋体、青蛙腿。冲泡后汤色多黄浓艳似琥珀,有天然馥郁的兰花香,滋味醇厚甘鲜,回甘悠久,俗称有“音韵”。茶音高而持久,可谓“七泡有余香”。
