Chinese tea (Zhong Cha)<\/b> is the current name of the factory that was established as a complex of several factories in Wuzhou on January 18, 1953, under the state trademark CNNP. To this day, it specializes in the production of <\/span>Hei Cha (fermented teas), especially Liu Bao<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tea production in the Liubao area (near Cangwu County, Wuzhou) dates back more than 1,500 years. Liu Bao tea was already grown and traded during the Qing dynasty and was transported by ships along the ancient <\/span>Maritime Silk Road<\/span><\/i>. However, its modern, strongly fermented character developed only in the second half of the 20th century.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 1960s and 1970s, the factory played an important role in the development of <\/span>wet piling fermentation (\u6e25\u5806 \u2013 w\u00f2 du\u012b)<\/b>, which significantly changed the character of fermented teas and revolutionized their production and flavor profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, the factory is owned by <\/span>China Tea Co., Ltd.<\/b> (also known as the Zhong Cha \/ CNNP brand) and is part of <\/span>COFCO Corporation<\/b> (China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation), one of the largest state-owned agricultural and food conglomerates in China.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company aims to make Liu Bao a global product. This is reflected in the rapid growth of Liu Bao production in the Wuzhou (Guangxi) region, which has increased significantly in recent years – from approximately 17,000 tons in 2019 to about 35,000 tons per year by 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n
