风靡东南亚的六堡茶：历史、功效与冲泡指南
六堡茶属黑茶类，因原产于梧州市苍梧县六堡乡而得名。产地制茶历史可追溯到一千五百多年前，清嘉庆年间就列为全国名茶。
Liubao Tea belongs to the dark tea category, named after its origin in Liubao Township, Cangwu County, Wuzhou City. Its tea-making history can be traced back over 1,500 years, and it was listed as a national famous tea during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.
六堡茶一度在国内鲜为人知的原因有二：首先它主要肩负出口创汇重任，远销东南亚、日本甚至法国；其次上世纪六十年代因经济原因大量茶树被砍伐改种经济作物，直到九十年代才恢复种植。
There are two main reasons why Liubao Tea was once little known domestically: First, it was mainly exported to earn foreign exchange, sold to Southeast Asia, Japan and even France; Second, in the 1960s many tea trees were cut down for economic crops, and it wasn't until the 1990s that cultivation resumed.
产地环境：六堡乡位于北回归线北侧，年平均气温21.2℃，终年云雾缭绕。茶叶多种植在海拔1000-1500米的山腰或峡谷，形成了独特的品质。
Production Environment: Liubao Township is located north of the Tropic of Cancer with an average annual temperature of 21.2°C and year-round mist. Tea is mostly grown on mountainsides or in valleys at 1000-1500m altitude, forming unique quality characteristics.
六堡茶的最大特色是"越陈越香"，经过半年以上的陈化后，汤色变得更红浓，产生独特的陈味，形成红、浓、醇、陈的品质特点。
The most distinctive feature of Liubao Tea is that "it improves with age". After more than six months of aging, the soup color becomes darker red, developing a unique aged flavor that creates its characteristic red, strong, mellow and aged qualities.
