The ancient tea-horse road began in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is an ancient commercial road in the southwest of China, connecting Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan for material and cultural exchanges. It started from the "Six Tea Mountains" in Mengla, Yunnan Province, passed through Simao (now Pu 'er City, Yunnan Province), Dali, Lijiang and Diqing to Lhasa, Tibet, and extended to India, Nepal and even South Asia and West Asia. This is not unrelated to the fact that tea production, processing and trading are mostly carried out in Yunnan. Yunnan is the birthplace of world tea. The ancient tea tree in Fengqing county has a history of 3200 years, and it is the largest and oldest ancient tea tree found in the world so far.

Xiaguan is located at the south entrance of the narrow passage between Cangshan and Erhai, and is the south gate of Nanzhao and Dali in ancient times. Since the 7th century, the ancient tea-horse road and the Southern Silk Road have crossed each other here, becoming the throat of the ancient tea-horse road and an important commercial town. At first, the tea trade on the ancient tea-horse road was mostly carried out in Pu 'er area. During the Republic of China, malaria epidemics and bandits often appeared in southern Yunnan, which made Tibetan caravans afraid to rush to Pu 'er. The tea trading center gradually moved westward. With the increasing trade between Yunnan, Tibet and Yunnan and Sichuan, it is located at Xiaguan at the crossroads of the ancient tea-horse road, replacing Pu 'er as the largest pressed tea processing center and tea trading distribution center in southwest China.

Xiaguan Tuocha was founded in 1902 by Yongchang Township, the predecessor of Yunnan Yongchang Rural Tea Factory.
