History of Xiaguan Tea Factory

Is there any historical story about Yunnan Pu 'er Tea Xiaguan Tuocha? For example, Shimonoseki, is it because of the low altitude? In the 28th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1902), in order to change many problems in the transportation and marketing of loose tea, Dali tycoon Yongchangxiang created "maiden group tea" into a bowl-shaped "Tuocha", which was later called "Tuocha".

Xiaguan Tuocha used to be sold to the border. Because the daily diet of the northwest border people is greasy, Tuocha is their daily necessities. Xiaguan Tuocha is made of cheaper raw materials in Lincang area, not Xiaguan tea raw materials.

Its transformation is slightly slower than that of cake tea, and how long it takes depends on raw materials, technology and storage conditions. Guo Zijian: national senior tea critic, disciple of Pu 'er godfather Bai Shuiqing, and the first executive vice president of the World Tea Culture Exchange Association.

1998 went to Yunnan to learn tea, and studied under Bai Shuiqing, the godfather of Pu 'er. Fenyangtang Pu 'er Tea Village was founded in 2002.

Let all Pu 'er tea friends take fewer detours and drink authentic Pu 'er tea with peace of mind.

The origin of Xiaguan Tuocha Yunnan is the hometown of tea.

Located in the largest tea processing center and trade distribution center in western Yunnan? In Xiaguan, there is a traditional tea product, which has a history of 100 years since its birth. It has not faded for more than a century, but has continued to develop and become a well-known brand at home and abroad. This is Xiaguan Tuocha in Yunnan. There is only one enterprise in the world that produces real Xiaguan Tuocha, namely Yunnan Xiaguan Tuocha (Group) Co., Ltd.

Its predecessor is Xiaguan Tea Factory in Yunnan Province, which is located in Xiaguan, a transportation hub in western Yunnan, a famous historical and cultural city and a national tourist city in Dali. The 2 14 national highway connecting Yunnan and Tibet and the 320 national highway, which runs through the eastern and western parts of the motherland, meet here.

Xiaguan Tea Factory was founded in the spring of 194 1 year. Originally known as Kangzang Tea Factory, it mainly processes pressed tea by hand, and its products are mainly sold to * * *, Sichuan, northwest Yunnan and other places. 1April, 950, the people * * * accepted and renamed it "Xiaguan Tea Factory in Yunnan Province", absorbing the tea workers who had exquisite tea-making skills in Xiaguan at that time, so that Xiaguan Tea Factory inherited Xiaguan's unique tea processing skills from the beginning of its establishment.

After more than 60 years of development, Yunnan Xiaguan Tuocha (Group) Co., Ltd., which was restructured and reorganized by the state-owned Xiaguan Tea Factory, has developed into one of the top pressed tea enterprises in China and the largest tea refining and processing enterprise in Yunnan. Looking at the century-long development of Xiaguan Tuocha, we can't help but say that Xiaguan Tuocha has a century-long history.

Shimonoseki is located at the crossroads of the ancient tea-horse road. The ancient tea-horse road, which started in the tea area of southern Yunnan and ended in * * * *, is an ancient commercial road with caravan as the main mode of transportation.

It is recorded in "Dian Zhi Shu Man" written by Fan Chuo in the Tang Dynasty: "Tea leaves the mountain at the boundary of Yinsheng City, and it is scattered and collected, and there is no way to collect it." "Sound" is one of the six major festivals in Nanzhao State (748-937) in Tang Dynasty. Yinsheng City is now Jingdong, Yunnan Province, and its jurisdiction includes Simao and Xishuangbanna.

As early as 1200 years ago, tea from Simao and Xishuangbanna had been transported to Dali. Since the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, with the increasing trade between Yunnan, Tibet and Yunnan and Sichuan, Xiaguan, located at the crossroads of the ancient "Tea-Horse Road", has gradually become the largest tea trading distribution center and pressed tea processing center in southwest China.

The big-leaf green tea produced in Xishuangbanna, Simao, Lincang, Baoshan and Dali tea areas in Yunnan Province is continuously transported to Shimonoseki for processing and sales. At that time, tea transportation was mainly carried by caravans, which was long and stormy, not easy to get wet and fragile, and often caused losses to tea merchants.

1902, some tea merchants in Shimonoseki improved a kind of "girls' group tea" and made it into a bowl-shaped "Tuocha" (which Yunnan people used to call Tuocha), which not only solved the problem that tea was damaged during transportation, but also made Tuocha have a special quality through special processing. Tuocha is sold to Luzhou, Yibin, Chongqing and other places in Sichuan through Kunming and Zhaotong.

Because Yibin is located at the intersection of Tuojiang River and Yangtze River, in order to promote this kind of tea, tea merchants hype "Tuojiang River water, Xiaguan tea, with high fragrance and good quality", so Xiaguan Tuocha is gradually called "Tuocha". In the 5th year of the Republic of China (19 16), Chen Bangxian wrote in "Essays on Zimianzhai": "Tea is popular in Sichuan, with Tuocha as the top grade, which is rich in flavor, golden in color and resistant to soaking".

Judging from these historical materials, Xiaguan Tuocha has become the most popular and representative Yunnan tea brand among families and tea drinkers in Sichuan and other places. Xiaguan Tuocha is a famous brand in Sichuan, especially in Chongqing.

After liberation, Xiaguan Tea Factory inherited the long and exquisite tea processing technology in Xiaguan area, and on this basis, it constantly innovated, strictly managed the product quality, improved the internal quality of Xiaguan Tuocha, continuously developed new products, improved product packaging, and mechanized and semi-mechanized development of production and processing equipment, and achieved remarkable results. Since 198 1, Xiaguan Tuocha has won the National Quality Silver Award for three times and the World Food Golden Crown Award for three times.

1989 was rated as "China Famous Tea", followed by "Yunnan Famous Tea", "Yunnan Famous Brand Product" and "China Famous Tea Brand". In 2002, with the approval of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, Xiaguan Tuocha was registered as a "National Label Product of Origin", which is the only product in Yunnan Province to obtain this qualification.

"Songhe" brand Xiaguan Tuocha has won "Yunnan Famous Trademark" twice since 2003. In 2008, it was rated as "China Famous Brand Agricultural Products" by the Ministry of Agriculture.

Over the past century, Xiaguan Tuocha has developed from a local specialty to a well-known brand of Yunnan tea. Its sales area has expanded from Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet to 30 provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China, such as Guangdong, Beijing, Chongqing, Hunan, Liaoning, Xinjiang and Hainan, and it has been exported to the European Union, Russia, South Korea, Japan and Malaysia 10 countries and Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao.

Tuocha production has a long history. As early as the book "A Brief Introduction to Yunnan" made by the Institute of Metabolism in Ming Dynasty, it was recorded that "all scholars use common tea and steam it together". Pu 'er tea refers to Pu 'er tea, which means that there was already pressed tea that was steamed, kneaded, pressed and easy to carry. Historically, Li Wenxiang, a native of Jinggu, founded a tea-making workshop in the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), and steamed mooncake-shaped group tea with sun-dried green tea as raw material, also known as Gucha. Two years later, it was copied into "bowl-shaped tea" by merchants of "Maoheng" and "Yongchangxiang" in Shimonoseki, and transported to Xufu (now Yibin) and Tuojiang in Sichuan via Kunming and Zhaotong for sale. The processing of Jinggu Tuancha laid the embryonic form of Yunnan Tuocha. The origin of Tuocha's name, Tuo was transformed from Tuan, and it is said that it was named after its transportation and distribution in Tuojiang, Sichuan. No matter what it is, it can be inferred that Tuocha is a very old product in Yunnan tea, which has been selling well both inside and outside the province for a long time. The modern form of Yunnan Tuocha was founded in 1902 (the 28th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty), with a history of more than 80 years. From the so-called "girl tea" (also called private tea) in Jinggu County, Simao area, it has evolved into the shape of modern Tuocha. In the late Qing Dynasty, Yunnan tea distribution center gradually moved to Shimonoseki with convenient transportation and developed industry and commerce. Tea merchants such as Yongchangxiang and Fuchunhe in Shimonoseki changed the group tea into bowl-shaped Tuocha, which was shipped to Chongqing, Xufu (now Yibin) and Chengdu via Kunming for sale, so it was also called Xufu tea.

Who knows the history of this tea in Shimonoseki in 2004: a Chinese word with three meanings: 1. It is a discipline to record and explain a series of historical events of human progress.

2. Evolution and origin. 3. Past facts.

History, for short, refers to the history of human society. It is a discipline that records and explains a series of historical events in the process of human activities, and it is also a mapping of the present era in many cases. If it is only summary and mapping, then history as an existence should disappear.

The problem of history is to discover the real past constantly, to speak with materials, and how people can become a negotiable problem in reality. [1] History is an extension.

History is the inheritance, accumulation and expansion of culture and the track of human civilization.

Overview of Xiaguan Tuocha In the late Qing Dynasty, Yunnan tea distribution center market gradually moved to Xiaguan with convenient transportation and developed industry and commerce. Tea merchants such as Yongchangxiang and Fuchunhe in Shimonoseki changed the group tea into bowl-shaped Tuocha, which was shipped to Chongqing, Xufu (now Yibin) and Chengdu in Sichuan via Kunming for sale, so it was also called Xufu tea. Xiaguan Tuocha is made from famous teas produced in more than 30 counties in Yunnan Province, such as Lincang, Baoshan and Simao. Its primary processing technology is hand rolling and machine pressing. It is bowl-shaped, beautiful in shape, moist in color and pure in fragrance.

Dali, located at the crossroads of western Yunnan, is the intersection of "Ancient Tea-Horse Road" and "Shendao in Sichuan", which has formed a cross and bilateral commercial culture on the trade channel, making Dali a place where the cultures of Central Plains, Southeast Asia, South Asia and West Asia blend. The ancient tea-horse road and Shudu culture make Dali "the ancient capital standing at the crossroads of Asian culture". Dali has not only obvious geographical advantages, but also unique climatic conditions. Xiaguan Tuocha, which is well-known at home and abroad, is produced in Xiaguan, Dali City. 1, the choice of pot: the choice of pot is best to keep warm, a little bigger (about two or three times bigger than when drinking oolong), which will be better.
