In 1973, Yunnan sent Zou Bingliang from Menghai Tea Factory, Wu Qiying from Kunming Tea Factory, Cao Zhenxing from Xiaguan Tea Factory and others to Guangdong Tea Import and Export Company to learn Pu'er tea production technology, which was the beginning of Yunnan's production of modern Pu'er tea, that is, ripe Pu'er tea. Among the three major tea factories, Menghai Tea Factory took the lead in mastering Pu'er artificial fermentation technology, and has a unique style, most of the existing Pu'er old tea is from Menghai Tea Factory, "Menghai Flavor" has also become synonymous with Pu'er ripe tea flavor. The three major tea factories were initially only responsible for production, and the products were sold under the "China Tea" brand. In the 80s, the state-owned Menghai Tea Factory registered the trademark "Taetea", which was restructured into the current private Taetea industry in 2004 and recognized as a time-honored brand in China in 2011.
 
Taetea's tea raw materials mainly come from Bada Mountain and Brown Mountain, which are among the six new tea mountains in Pu'er, and the tea leaves are fat and strong, and the quality is high. However, Taetea's core competitiveness is not in raw materials, but in its fermentation and blending technology. Taetea Group has a dedicated microbial R&D center and post-doctoral research station, and Taetea's latest fermentation process is the third-generation "HEMA" technology, which applies systematic engineering and technical means to optimize the fermentation quality in the production of compound enzyme preparations. Zou Bingliang once summed up the essentials of blending as "promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, showing advantages and hidden inferiors, and balancing high and low", in view of the different conditions of tea each year, Taetea does not have a fixed blending formula, but is result-oriented to iterate the blending ratio to maintain a stable taste, thus giving birth to two of the most important cakes and teas in Pu'er tea.
