TAETEA Yunnan
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 the artificial fermentation technology of Pu'er, and has a unique style, most of the existing Pu'er old tea is from Menghai Tea Factory, and Menghai flavor has also become synonymous with the flavor of ripe Pu'er tea. 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 Taetea trademark, 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 postdoctoral research workstation, and Taetea's latest fermentation process is the third-generation HEMA technology.
