Menghai is a county in southwest Yunnan. It used to be the territory of Che Wei Xuan (the higher-ranking toast), and there are patches of ancient tea forests here. Due to the lack of documentary evidence, the growers and planting years of these tea forests are somewhat vague.

● In 191, the Qing government helped Chef Che to settle the feud between Chef Meng and Chef Meng. In the same year, Zhang Tangjie, a businessman of Han nationality, opened the first tea house in Menghai history. At that time, the annual output of tea in Meng was less than 2, tons (each load was equivalent to 5 kilograms), all of which were transported to Simao for processing. After 1923, due to the discovery of the tea road that entered Tibet through Myanmar and India, many people went to Menghai to set up tea houses, suppressed tea leaves and left the country directly.

● In early p>●1939, the newly established Yunnan China Tea Trading Co., Ltd. decided to send Mr. Fan Hejun and Mr. Zhang Shicheng to Menghai (then called Fohai) to investigate the production and sales of tea, and set up an experimental tea factory with an annual output of 5, boxes of machine-made tea.

in April, the "Nannuoshan Tea Factory", a tea experimental site in Sipu District, Yunnan Province, invested by Yunnan Provincial Department of Finance, was established.

On April 1st, 1939, Fan Hejun and Zhang Shicheng set out from Kunming, passed through Dali, Baoshan, Lashuo, Yangon and Jingdong, and finally arrived in Fohai on May 26th, 1939.

on August 1st, Dr. Li Sheng (Zi Maotang), director of Nanqiao (now Mengzhe, Menghai County) farm, led 25 technicians of our company to work in Fohai, and arrived at the end of the month. In the same month, nine local students were enrolled in the factory.

in late September, on the 18th day of tea making, one kind of white tea, three kinds of black tea, two kinds of green tea, two kinds of brick tea, one kind of Tibetan tea and three kinds of old green tea were made, totaling 1,17 Jin.

On October 14th, 1939, Fan Hejun left Fohai, and the tea factory was managed by Zhang Shicheng.

On February 27th, 194, the second batch of workers, students and staff of more than 4 people arrived in Fohai.

Fan Hejun is the temporary manager.

fohai experimental tea factory produces 93 tons of black tea, 39 tons of green tea and 4 tons of round tea (commissioned by Tongchang and Yuxi Chen Xi). In addition, Fohai Service Agency of Yunnan Provincial Economic Committee produces 1, tons of tight tea.

● In 1941, Fohai Tea Factory mainly produced black powder tea. At the same time, Fohai Tea Factory and Fohai Service Agency bought a large number of private merchants' tight tea. From autumn of 1941 to spring of 1942, they bought more than 12, tons of tight tea, some of which were shipped to Glenburg for sale, some were bombed and some were evacuated to tea houses in Menghai.

● In 1942, due to the Japanese invasion of Myanmar, the exit passage of Fohai tea was blocked. At the same time, the Japanese plane bombed Fohai, and most employees of Fohai tea factory retreated, and the tea factory entered the storage period. Li Fuyi, the service agency of Fohai, was responsible for receiving the materials of the factory, while Dao Guodong and Zhou Guangze stayed behind.

● In 1943, Fohai Tea Factory produced 318 Jin of high-grade white tea.

● In 1945, Li Fuyi sold some of the tight tea preserved in 1942 to Ma Dingchen's Dingxing.

● In 1946, thousands of tons of tight tea purchased by Fohai Tea Factory in 1942 were sold to Simao Hengshenggong, who sold all the tea to Tibet.

The company name is "Fohai Tea Factory of China Tea Company". On September 14th, China Tea Corporation registered the trademark of "China Tea" brand with the registration number of No.871, and required the national state-owned tea factories to use this trademark uniformly. The products of Fohai Tea Factory used the trademark of China Tea brand except the tea products sold in Tibet. Before 1984, all the tea exported by Menghai Tea Factory and most of the fine tea sold in China had to be transferred to Kunming, and then transferred by the "Provincial Tea Division".

● In September p>●1953, the tea factory was renamed as "Xishuangbanna Tea Factory of China Tea Company". In the same year, he took over Nannuoshan Tea Factory, which mainly produces black tea. Because the company's business and personnel management are inconsistent, Menghai Tea Factory has no director for a long time, but only the person in charge (one of the deputy directors), including Liu Guodong, hujie, Yan Zhenru and Zhou Peirong. At that time, the national state-owned tea factories uniformly used the trademark of "Chinese Tea". As a subordinate unit of China Tea Company, Menghai Tea Factory's name change was not necessarily reflected in the packaging, and the old packaging and stamp could still be used.

● In 1972, Yunnan Tea Branch of China Native Products and Animal Products Import and Export Corporation was established. Most of the "Yunnan Qizi cake tea" we have seen is after this period.

● In 1974, 6 bales of Pu 'er tea (cooked tea) were produced, which has been increasing year by year since then. At that time, due to the fermentation technology, the high-grade cooked loose tea of Menghai Tea Factory (such as grade 3-4, grade 5-6 tea) was exported under the name of "Yunnan Qing" because the indexes such as soup color and old taste could not meet the requirements of foreign businessmen.

● In 1976, Yunwai Tea Word No.84/45 stipulated the following seven tea numbers for Menghai Tea Factory Pu 'er tea: Yunnan Qizi cake 7572 7682 Yunnan Pu 'er tea 7492 7412 Yunnan Qing (tea) 74342 74562 74782.

● In 1989, the trademark of "Dayi" was successfully registered, and it began to be promoted overseas as an independent brand of tea factory.
