Like most domestic black tea, Yingde black tea was originally a commodity specially used for export to earn foreign exchange, Yingde City began to introduce Yunnan large-leaf tea trees from the mid-50s of the last century, and set up a state-owned Yingde tea farm, the first batch of exported Yingde black tea was respected by the tea industry. Yi Pin Tea is based on the reorganization of the original state-owned Yingde Tea Farm, and is now called Yinghong Town Yi Pin Tea Factory. Founded in 1995, Yipin Tea Company is now a "key agricultural leading enterprise in Guangdong Province" and won the title of "Top Ten Brands of Chinese Black Tea under the 2012 Golden Bud Award".
Inheriting the traditional tea farms, Yi Pin Tea also gathers the technical backbone of many traditional tea farms. Professor Qi Kangbiao, chief engineer of Yipinming, was the deputy director of the Tea Research Institute of the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and began to engage in tea work in Yingde Tea Farm in 1980. Another technical backbone, Lu Xuebin, is the former director of Yinghong Overseas Chinese Tea Farm and Hongqi Tea Factory in Guangdong Province, who began to engage in tea work in 1964 and witnessed the birth and growth of Yingde black tea.
Yipinming's hard power is also in a leading position in the industry, with 20,000 acres of its own tea plantation base, and its tea factory has a total area of 6,000 square meters. In addition to the three major workshops of primary production, refining, blending and packaging, refrigerated and fresh-keeping warehouses and other facilities are also very perfect, and the blending link often selects more than a dozen tea samples in dozens of tea samples, blending according to a certain proportion to form a unique taste and flavor.
At present, Yingde black tea is still a more traditional type of tea, famous tea, innovative tea products are relatively few, the most representative of which is Yinghong No. 9 Jinhao tea, known as the "Oriental Golden Beauty", developed in 1991, picking Yinghong No. 9 tea tree single bud or a bud and a leaf at the beginning of the exhibition, its tea appearance is uniform, full of gold, golden butter, fragrant and fragrant, bright soup, fresh and mellow smooth, in 2011 China (Guangzhou) International Autumn Tea Fair won the gold medal, 100g gift box price 868 yuan , Yinquill is not as exquisite as Jinhao, and the price is about 500 yuan. Thanks to the relatively traditional industrial situation, Yingde black tea basically has no particularly expensive products, such as Yinghong No. 9 first-class 100g package price of 168 yuan, which is already relatively high-end, ordinary Yingde black tea 150g package price of 88 yuan, the price of all products is basically in this range, there are also ration tea sold with discounts as a gimmick, the price is lower, 100g is priced at about 40 yuan. It should be noted that its taste is divided into light fragrance type and strong fragrance type, in addition to the rich taste, the strong fragrance type will also be more resistant to brewing, and tea lovers can choose according to their own taste. New tea lovers can also try to buy its sample bottles, which are priced under 20 yuan.
