Yunnan tuo cha introduction

Yunnan tea was first produced in Xiaguan and has a long history. As early as in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Xie Zhaozhe's book "Dianlue" has a record of "5 Pushe used by Shixu, steamed and grouped". Pu-erh tea refers to Pu-erh tea, which indicates that there was already pressed tea after steaming loose tea, processing and kneading, and compressing the volume. The tea name has a long history, and the tea is transformed from the group. It is said that it was named because it was sold in the area of ​​the Minjiang River in Sichuan in the past. Regardless of the statement, it can be presumed that the tea is a very old product in Yunnan tea, and has long been sold inside and outside the province. The modern-shaped Yunnan tea was created in the 28th year of Guangxu of Qing Dynasty [1902]. It has a history of more than 80 years. It evolved from the so-called "girl tea" (also known as private tea) in Jinggu County, Simao City, and became a modern tea. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Yunnan tea distribution market gradually moved to Xiaguan, where transportation was convenient and industry were commerce developed.

Tea merchants such as Xiaguan Yongchangxiang, Fuchunhe, etc. converted the group tea into bowl-shaped tea, which was shipped to Chongqing, Sichuan, Xufu (now Yibin), Chengdu, and other places for sale through Kunming, so it is also called Xufu tea. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number and quality of Yunnan's tea production has developed and improved, and it has been sold nationwide. Yunnan's representative tea is now Bajiao Tingtea, Xiaguan tea, Menghai pu-erh tea, Phoenix tea and so on.
