Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, with black tea being the most produced and distributed type. Thanks to its health benefits and unique flavour, the consumer base for black tea has been steadily growing in recent years. Aroma is one of the most important quality characteristics of black tea, influenced by factors such as tea plant varieties and processing techniques. High-quality black teas are characterized by floral, fruity, and honey-like aromas, which are specific and complex, making them a significant reason why black tea is popular among consumers.

YiHong GongFu Black Tea, with a history spanning over a century, is known for its rich red colour and heavy fermentation, which are traditional and crucial quality features. These qualities have contributed to its popularity overseas. However, domestic consumers in China nowadays prefer YiHong GongFu Black tea products with a golden soup colour and a lasting floral aroma. This preference has posed significant limitations on the promotion of YiHong GongFu Black Tea. Some existing floral black tea processing methods typically use oolong tea varieties as raw materials or incorporate rolling techniques during processing. Oolong tea varieties have limited cultivation areas in the Yichang region, and the rolling technique complicates the processing of YiHong GongFu Black Tea. Consequently, the existing floral black tea processing methods are not suitable for YiHong GongFu Black Tea.

In response, the YiChang Tea Group, with a market-centric approach, aims to develop a floral black tea specific to the Yichang region and a set of processing techniques suitable for the floral black tea variety cultivated in Yichang. Step into the enchanting world of YiHong GongFu Black Tea and experience a true delight for your senses. Renowned for its exceptional quality, this exquisite tea leaves a lasting impression with its bold flavour profile and captivating aroma. Each sip is a journey of pure satisfaction, transporting you to the lush tea gardens of China's YiChang city.

Additionally, our packaging is made from eco-friendly materials, further reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to a greener planet.

"The processing of Black tea involves withering, rolling, fermentation, and drying. Researchers from the YiChang Tea Group first used representative tea plant varieties from the Wufeng region in Yichang as fresh leaf materials and explored the processing parameters for withering and fermentation, which are two critical steps. They determined the processing principle of "heavy withering and moderate fermentation." By using this as the core processing technique, they produced YiHong GongFu Black Tea. Compared to traditional methods, this tea had a significantly improved floral aroma score, with increased levels of compounds like benzaldehyde, acetoin, and phenylethanol, which contribute to its floral aroma.

Furthermore, the same processing technique was applied to the ten most representative varieties with the largest cultivation areas in the Yichang region, yielding similar results. This suggests that the developed processing technique is suitable for the large-scale cultivation of varieties in the Yichang region, and it can consistently produce YiHong GongFu Black Tea with a pronounced floral aroma, making it valuable for promotion and application."
