Yunnan Tea in Detail 

During the 1930s, in the wake of the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), many southeastern Tea-growing provinces became war zones. As a result, officials began scouting Yunnan as a potential alternative for making China Black Tea.

Feng Shaoqiu and his colleague Zheng Hechun, both of the China Tea Corporation, were the first to investigate the province’s economic potential.

Their endeavours ultimately resulted in the establishment of the Yunnan Tea Trading Corporation, followed by the Shunning Experimental Tea Factory. Between 1939 and 1941, some 110 tonnes of Yunnan Tea was created, which, of course, went on to become a tremendous success!
