Jiqingli Yingde Black Tea - How about black tea Brand introduction

"Jiqingli" got its name from the local Jiqingli village in Yingde, and tea production began before the Ming Dynasty. Jiqingli's own tea garden black tea valley, covering an area of more than 10,000 acres, is used for the cultivation and planting of tea varieties such as Yinghong No. 9, Meizhan and Jinxuan, of which more than 3,000 acres are planted with Yinghong No. 9, with an annual output of nearly one million catties. Jiqingli tea industry invested more than 30 million yuan to build a modern tea factory, close to the tea planting base, covering an area of 12,700 square meters, with a comprehensive processing and storage and transportation system, the workshop classification is meticulous and rich, the initial process of tea is completed in an independent workshop, the professional degree of tea processing in Guangdong Province is in the forefront, and it is also the largest tea factory in the Yingde black tea production area and even the entire Guangdong Province. Its founder, Zhang Zhigang, is currently the president of the Yingde Tea Industry Association.
 
When we talk about Yingde black tea, more often we talk about Yinghong No. 9, so to speak, Yingde black tea is divided into Yinghong No. 9 and other Yingde black tea. Yingde black tea is generally made from Yunnan large-leaf tea plants introduced in Yingde, while Yinghong 9 is the result of years of careful breeding. As early as 1961, the tea garden of the Guangdong Provincial Tea Department used the single plant separation and breeding method to isolate a total of 22 clones of excellent single plants, one of which is the current Yinghong No. 9, until 1988 by the Guangdong Provincial Crop Variety Examination and Approval Committee for the Guangdong Provincial Tea Tree Varieties, Yinghong No. 9 is now both the name of the tree species and the name of black tea products.
 
According to the data of the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Tea, in 2014, the area of tea gardens in Yingde City was 73,400 mu, of which the area of Yinghong No. 9 was about 50,000 mu. This is also reflected in the products of most British black tea companies, such as most of the products in Jiqingli are "Yinghong No. 9", and there are only a few "Yingde black tea". Due to the large-scale planting and production of Yinghong No. 9, the Yinghong No. 9 sold in Jiqingli can provide more diversified choices in terms of price, such as the price of Yingde black tea first-class 150g is 150 yuan, and the price of Yinghong No. 9 first-class 150g ranges from 87 yuan to 200 yuan. For the old tea customers launched the alcohol Jin Yinghong No. 9 200g price is 336 yuan, the price of gift packaging has been significantly improved, adding a variety of packaging forms such as small cans and small bags, the tea bag series can be drunk with milk coffee, the price is below 40 yuan, and there are several portable packs to choose from at this price. There are also a few innovative British black teas in Jiqingli, such as tangerine peel and green mandarin black tea, and black tea tea cakes are mainly used for collections, but they are all relatively niche products, suitable for British red lovers to buy and try.
