吴啓英：现代普洱茶创始人及其对云南茶产业的革命性贡献
云南大叶种茶的独特优势
云南大叶种茶属于乔木型，主要生长在海拔1000-1400米的亚高山地带和1400米以上的高山地带。这些地区多为赤红壤区，加上云南特殊的自然条件——充足的降雨量、长无霜期、多雾日，使得茶山常年笼罩在云雾之中，正所谓"高山云雾出好茶"。
The Unique Advantages of Yunnan Large-Leaf Tea
Yunnan large-leaf tea belongs to the arbor type, mainly growing in subalpine areas at altitudes of 1,000-1,400 meters and alpine areas above 1,400 meters. These areas are mostly lateritic red soil zones. Combined with Yunnan's unique natural conditions - abundant rainfall, long frost-free periods, and frequent fog - the tea mountains are often shrouded in clouds and mist, truly embodying the saying "high mountains and mist produce fine tea."
普洱茶的陈化奇迹
云南大叶种茶内含物质丰富，加工的晒青毛茶味道浓烈，新茶苦涩味重。但人们发现，经过自然陈化后，其滋味会变得醇和，香气也变得浓郁陈香，出现了一种适宜品饮的新口味。
The Aging Miracle of Pu'er Tea
Yunnan large-leaf tea is rich in internal substances, and the processed sun-dried green tea has a strong taste with pronounced bitterness in new tea. However, people discovered that after natural aging, the flavor becomes mellow, the aroma becomes rich and aged, developing a new taste profile suitable for drinking.
吴啓英的创新突破
1973年，吴啓英先生提出将云南大叶种晒青毛茶进行人工发酵，加速其陈化过程。经过大量科学试制，她原创性地发明了"普洱茶湿水渥堆技术"，于1974年在昆明茶厂试制成功普洱熟茶，将普洱茶漫长的发酵时间缩短为45天左右。
Wu Qiying's Innovative Breakthrough
In 1973, Mr. Wu Qiying proposed artificially fermenting Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried green tea to accelerate its aging process. After extensive scientific trials, she originally invented the "wet piling technology for Pu'er tea," successfully developing ripe Pu'er tea at Kunming Tea Factory in 1974, reducing the long fermentation time of Pu'er tea to about 45 days.
行业标准的制定
吴啓英主持制定了《昆明茶厂普洱茶制造工艺及其品质要求》，这是普洱茶发展史上第一个有着详实理论依据和技术指标的行业标准。1979年制定的《云南普洱茶制造工艺要求(试行办法)》成为全省普洱茶试行生产规范。
Establishment of Industry Standards
Wu Qiying presided over the formulation of the "Kunming Tea Factory Pu'er Tea Manufacturing Process and Quality Requirements," the first industry standard in the history of Pu'er tea development with detailed theoretical basis and technical indicators. The "Yunnan Pu'er Tea Manufacturing Process Requirements (Trial Measures)" formulated in 1979 became the trial production standard for Pu'er tea throughout the province.
普洱茶产业的腾飞
吴啓英的发明和标准化工作使普洱熟茶的大规模工业化生产成为可能，推动了云南茶业的高速发展。今天，普洱茶已成为中国茶文化的重要组成部分，在国际市场上也享有盛誉。
The Takeoff of the Pu'er Tea Industry
Wu Qiying's invention and standardization work made large-scale industrial production of ripe Pu'er tea possible, promoting the rapid development of Yunnan's tea industry. Today, Pu'er tea has become an important part of Chinese tea culture and enjoys a high reputation in the international market.
