茶，
货与尼庵，转售富家妇女，云妇人服之，终身不孕，为断产第一妙药也，每斤银八钱。
味甘苦极香，兼能逐风活血。绝孕如神。

土人售于市曰蒙山茶，然绝非茶类，乃山石中所生石衣，如苔藓之属，土人掬而沃之，冒登

Produced in Huizhou, during the tea picking season in the second and third lunar months, locals also pick the leaves of *Mahonia fortunei* (Daduli Gong), commonly known as "Lao Shu Ci" (Rat Thorn). These leaves are called "Ku Ding" (Bitter Bulb) and are mixed evenly with tea leaves, then stir-fried and baked together to make tea. It is sold to nunneries and resold to wealthy women, who claim that consuming it renders them permanently infertile, making it the premier miraculous remedy for contraception. The price is eight mace of silver per jin. It has a taste that is extremely sweet and bitter, yet highly fragrant, and can simultaneously dispel wind and invigorate blood. Its ability to prevent pregnancy is miraculous.
Fan Chengda (Shihu Jushi) in his collected works records: Luancha produced in Xiujiang is actually the leaf of *Pieris sinensis*. Mao Wenxi's *Cha Pu* (Tea Classic) states: In Hunan, people collect Yangdong juice in the fourth month to cook rice; they must also collect *Pieris sinensis* leaves to treat cephalalgia caused by wind.
*Huanyou Biji* (Notes on Traveling for Official Duties) records: Mount Meng in Shandong is located thirty li south of Mengyin County, standing approximately twenty li high, with a circumference of over three hundred li. It produces a tea called Yunzhi Cha. Locals sell it in the market as Mengshan Cha, but it is absolutely not a true tea species. It is "Shiyi" (Stone Lichen) growing among mountain rocks, belonging to the moss family. Locals scoop it up and brew it, passing it off as fine tea. *Wuzazu* (Miscellaneous Stuffs from Five Regions) records: Mount Meng in Ya Zhou, Sichuan, has a peak that is particularly dangerous and filthy, inhabited by snakes, tigers, and wild wolves. Tea obtained there can eliminate various diseases. Today, people in Shandong use the stone lichen from the foot of Mount Yin as a substitute for tea, which is incorrect. However, Mengyin tea is cold in nature, capable of treating stomach heat conditions; being cold, it can resolve food stagnation. *Bencao Gangmu* mentions Shilui, stating it is warm in nature, without mentioning its ability to resolve stagnation.
Produced in Western Guangdong, made from tender shoots resembling those of *Carthamus tinctorius* (Safflower). Locals prepare it to gift to guests. Zou Daoxiang of the Song Dynasty wrote a poem: [It] resolves diaphragmatic stagnation and retained food, and repels miasma and pestilential qi.
Produced in Dongguan, brewed by mixing sesame oil or potato starch oil with tea juice. It dispels wind-dampness, breaks down food accumulation, and alleviates hunger. (Ying Chang notes: The manufacturing methods and therapeutic indications of Wuyao Cha and the previously mentioned Yancha are identical; it is unknown whether they are the same substance or two different ones.)
*Sichuan Tongzhi* (General Gazetteer of Sichuan) records: Produced in Luzhou, generally referred to as Lucha. It tastes pungent and is hot in nature; drinking it can treat wind disorders.
*Min Zhi* (Fujian Gazetteer) records: Produced in Fning Prefecture. It treats epidemic febrile diseases.
*Cha Pu* (Tea Classic) records: Tea produced at Le Shan in E Zhou is black like leeks. It further states: Produced at Dong Shan in E Zhou, named Dongshan Cha, black in color like leeks, but its nature is opposite to that of leeks.
