Overview:
Taihua Tea, which was praised by the famous traveler Xu Xiake in his Xu Xiake’s Travels, was recreated in 1983 by the Dianhong Tea Factory. Historically, no other tea in Yunnan has matched the fame of Taihua Tea, which was once considered the most prestigious tea in Yunnan. However, the production process had been lost for over 300 years. As part of Dianhong Tea Group’s research project, a systematic study was conducted on tea tree varieties, ecological environments, and production techniques. After years of repeated experimentation, the tea was successfully recreated. The raw material for Taihua Tea was carefully selected from high-aroma tea varieties cultivated at an altitude of over 1,700 meters in a pollution-free environment at the Dianhong Group’s Tea Science Research Institute in Fengqing County. The tea is made using the traditional steamed green tea process from the first flush of a bud and a leaf before the Qingming Festival. Taihua Tea is of superior quality and has been recognized as a famous tea in Yunnan Province.

Representative Product: Taihua Tea
Overview:
The successful trial production of Chun Mee Tea, Gyokuro Green Tea, and New Process Green Tea in 1986 provided new insights into the suitability of Yunnan large-leaf tea varieties for various tea types.
Historical Background:
In November 1938, “Dianhong Tea” was first produced, initially named “Yunhong” (云红). By April 1940, it was officially renamed “Dianhong” (滇红).
Development Process:
In mid-October 1938, Feng Shaoqiu and his team began their journey on foot from Xiaguan. After walking for over ten days, they arrived in Shunning (now Fengqing) in early November. The day after their arrival, they arranged to pick 4000 grams of fresh leaves (one bud with two leaves) from Fengshan Tea Garden. These leaves were processed into 500 grams each of black and green tea, which were then sent as samples to the Hong Kong tea market. The samples were highly praised as “the best among Chinese black and green teas.”
In his recollections, Feng Shaoqiu vividly described the trial production of “Dianhong samples”: “Everything went very smoothly. The two tea samples, one black and one green, were like gold and silver, making one extremely pleased. The black tea sample: a tray full of golden yellow hairs, the liquor was a bright and deep red, the leaf base was brilliantly red (orange-red), and the aroma was rich, which was unseen in black teas from other provinces with small-leaf varieties.”
Quality Characteristics of “Dianhong Tea”:
This detailed process highlights the meticulous efforts in developing and refining “Dianhong Tea,” leading to its esteemed position in the market.
In November 1938, “Dianhong Tea” was created, initially named “Yunhong” and officially renamed “Dianhong” in April 1940.
In mid-October 1938, Feng Shaoqiu and his team walked for over ten days from Xiaguan, arriving in Shunning (now Fengqing) at the beginning of November. The next day, they arranged for the Fengshan Tea Garden to harvest 4,000 grams of fresh “one bud, two leaves” tea leaves, producing 500 grams each of black and green tea as trial samples. These samples were mailed to the Hong Kong tea market, where they were highly praised as “the finest among Chinese black and green teas.” In his recollection of the first “Dianhong tea sample” production, Feng Shaoqiu vividly described the experience: “Everything went smoothly. The two tea samples, one black and one green, were like gold and silver, bringing great joy. The black tea sample was filled with golden yellow tips, had a bright, deep red liquor, and the leaf base was bright red and glowing (orange-red). The aroma was rich, unlike anything seen in black teas made from small-leaf varieties in other provinces.”

On December 3, 2014, the Network of the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China issued the Circular of the State Council on Publishing the List of the Fourth National Non-material Cultural Heritage Representational Projects《国务院关于公布第四批国家级非物质文化遗产代表性项目名录的通知》 (document No. 59 of Guofa [2014]), which formally announced that “Yunnan Black Tea Production Techniques” was included in the List of the Fourth National Non-material Cultural Heritage Representational Projects.
“Yunnan Black Tea Production Techniques滇红茶制作技艺” originated in 1938 and has been inherited for nearly 80 years. It was inherited and developed by Yunnan Dianhong Group (Former Yunnan Fengqing Tea Factory)云南滇红集团股份有限公司(原云南省凤庆茶厂). It mainly spreads the traditional Yunnan Black Tea Culture in Fengqing County, Yunnan Province. It includes seven cultural connotations: the tea ceremony of “Hood”“厚德”, “Seiko”精工”, “Tranquility”“恬静”, “Unique product system”, “Tea-making skills handed down orally”, “Tranquility of mind, Forgetting both things and me”“平心静气、物我两忘”, “Teachers and apprentices” system“师带徒”制度, the management of old tea houses and conscience culture practiced by successive generations. It is a typical representative of Yunnan tea and is handed down in China. It is an important component of black tea.
Yunnan black tea was born in the early days of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, in order to find new tea resources, develop new tea products, marketing and export to raise funds for the War of Resistance Against Japan, Mr. Feng Shaoqiu冯绍裘 went to Shunning (today Fengqing) and used the local large-leaf tea as raw material. The experiment succeeded in Yunnan black tea. The birth of Yunnan Black Tea not only fulfilled the national needs, but also pioneered the production of Yunnan Big Leaf Tea, which was praised as “Anti-Japanese War Tea”“抗战茶” and “Patriotic Tea”“爱国茶”.
“Yunnan Black Tea Production Techniques” is rooted in the exquisite skills of the older generation of tea experts such as Feng Shaoqiu冯绍裘 and the rich soil of large-leaf tea planting in Yunnan. On the basis of inheriting the tradition, we have absorbed the strengths of all families, adhered to the belief of “making tea to accumulate virtue”“做茶积德” and “selecting materials properly”“选材精当”, inherited and carried forward the values of “making tea for the world, making tea for the people and keeping tea healthy”, “制茶济世、制茶为民、制茶养生” and created “Dianhong Kungfu”“ 滇红工夫 ” and “classics 58″“ 经典58 ”. A large number of Yunnan black tea products, such as “Golden Bud”“ 金芽 ”, “Plateau Red”“高原红 ” and “China Red”“中国红”, have unique quality styles, such as tight outline, plump and strong bud leaves, dark color, golden millimeter, bright soup red, rich aroma, strong and fresh taste, and are popular with the majority of tea people. Yunnan Red Tea Group has always been a designated manufacturer of black tea exported by the state. The national black tea sample set of “standard physical samples” sample preparation unit has fulfilled the enterprise mission of “creating a healthy and beautiful life for mankind”, and has played an active role in promoting human health, health care and other aspects. In 1958, Yunnan Red Gongfu Super Tea was recognized as the national foreign affairs gift tea. In 1986, Queen Elizabeth II伊丽莎白, who came to China as a national gift, won honor for the country. In 2012, Yunnan Red Group was recognized by the Ministry of Commerce as an “old Chinese brand” enterprise“中华老字号”企业.
“Yunnan Black Tea Production Techniques” has a worldwide impact, with significant Yunnan local characteristics and product advantages. From its inception to the present, it has promoted the rapid development of Yunnan tea industry, increased the output of tea products, greatly improved economic benefits, promoted the income of tea farmers, financial growth, enterprise efficiency, laid the foundation for the development of Yunnan tea and Yunnan black tea to become a world-renowned black tea, with high protection and inheritance value. On the basis of protection and inheritance, the project further excavates and improves, which can add a new mode for the development of “Yunnan Tea”, and will also play a positive role in demonstrating the protection of local superior products in the whole province. Therefore, it has prominent historical, cultural and scientific value.
The traditional production techniques of Yunnan black tea include withering萎凋, rolling揉捻, fermentation发酵 and drying干燥. The first is withering: after a period of natural water loss, the fresh leaves of tea become withered and withered. After withering, water can be evaporated appropriately to facilitate shape. At the same time, tea fragrance is appearing, which is an important processing stage to form the aroma of Yunnan black tea. Secondly, twisting: the withered fresh leaves are twisted, and the strength and time of the twisting are grasped by the tea maker.
The purpose of the twisting is to shape the tea leaves in the process of twisting and increase the concentration of color, fragrance and flavor. The leaf cells are destroyed to facilitate the next fermentation. Fermentation: Leaf cells oxidize under the action of enzymes. Leaf color changes from green to reddish or cauliflower yellow, forming the quality characteristics of Yunnan black tea “Black Leaf Red Soup”“红叶红汤”. Through moderate fermentation, grass gas disappears and has ripe fruit aroma. Finally, drying: the fermented green tea is baked at high temperature, evaporating water rapidly, and achieving the quality and dryness of the process, to obtain the unique sweet flavor of Yunnan black tea.
The process of Yunnan black tea refining realizes the commercial requirement through screening and air selection, picking, evenly stacking and filling fire.
Yunnan Black Tea is manufactured by hand. In the production process, it is the key technology to implement the primary system, that is, “five checkpoints of the primary system”“初制把五关”. Yunnan black tea products have specific shapes, heavy bones, uniform color, bright red soup after brewing, Golden Circle prominent, fresh aroma, strong taste, stimulating, even bright red leaves, milk still has a strong tea flavor, brown, pink or turmeric bright, with strong, strong, fresh characteristics. Yunnan black tea traditional production technology contains rich and profound tea culture. It is one of the important techniques in Chinese black tea production technology. It is also the crystallization of the practice and wisdom of tea science and technology experts and tea farmers.

Manfeilong Pagoda
The Manfeilong Pagoda is situated on the top of a hill near Manfeilong Village, 70 kilometers (43 miles) away from Jinghong City. It was built in the year 1024 and is a famed stupa complex in Xishuangbanna. It is also known by two other names: White Pagoda and Bamboo Shoot Pagoda. These descriptive names are derived from the fact that the pagoda is, of course, white while its overall shape resembles a bamboo shoot. It is dedicated to Hinayana Buddhism (a small, conservative branch of Buddhism).
The Manfeilong Pagoda consists of nine stupas. Seen from the distance, they look very like bamboo shoots that have emerged from the soil after the spring rain. They are made of bricks, with typical club-like bases topped by calabash shaped bodies. The principle and central stupa, which is 16.29 meters (53 feet) high, is surrounded by eight smaller stupas, each being 9.1 meters (30 feet) high. In each stupa, there is a niche wherein a statue of Buddha is laid. The bells hung at the top of the pagoda make a tinkling sound when the wind blows. Just to the south of the pagoda, there is a footprint on the rock. According to legend, this is the left footprint of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism.
The Manfeilong Pagoda is decorated with beautiful sculpture, relief and colored paintings in the style of the Dai ethnic minority. During the Water-splashing Festival (usually on April 13-15), the villagers from the Manfeilong Village gather here and chase one another, splashing water as part of a welcome to the new year in Dai calendar.
