About Yongchun Beikeng Overseas Chinese Tea Factory
Founded in 1917, the Yongchun Beikeng Tea Factory has a rich history of producing high-quality teas. Once a bustling hub of innovation and craftsmanship, the factory was home to over 1,000 tea workers at its peak, producing millions of pounds of tea annually. The factory's products, including Min Nan Shui Xian, were highly sought after in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Just as many state-owned old factories have experienced ups and downs, in the 1990s, the tea factory once fell into a slump, and the once bustling factory area gradually became desolate. The former factory director, Huang Shenghou, who had created its greatest glory and witnessed its decline, couldn't bear to see it and took over the factory personally after its privatization.
Today, this aged Min Nan Shui Xian Oolong tea stands as a flavorful tribute to the factory's storied past and the enduring legacy of traditional Chinese tea-making.
