The Origin of Jiudao Tea in Kunming

The candidate "business card" of "Kunming Jiudao Tea" has been ranked in the top ten nominations of "Top Ten Business Cards", and many readers have questions: "What is Kunming Jiudao Tea? Is it similar to Dali Sancha? "

Wang, the founder of "Kunming Jiudao Tea" and director of China International Tea Culture Research Association, described the origin of "Kunming Jiudao Tea".

According to reports, "Kunming Jiudao Tea" is nothing new. In fact, it is a common way of drinking tea in southwest China for many years. It is usually used when receiving guests at home, so it is also called "welcome tea". The basic connotation of this tea art is "Wen Ya". Drinking tea involves tasting tea, warming cups, pouring tea, making tea, pouring tea and drinking tea. Named after its popularity in Kunming, there are nine procedures for drinking tea, which is not the same concept as "Dali three teas".

1989, Wang, who worked in Yunnan Tea Import and Export Corporation at that time, arranged, directed and named "Kunming Jiudao Tea" tea performance for the first "Tea and China Culture Exhibition Week". Subsequently, the company set up the "Cloud Tea Garden" national tea art performance team, and the performances included "Kunming Jiudao Tea", "Baisan Tea" and "Sani Brown Tea". 17 people performed on the same stage with the world-famous Japanese tea ceremony in Beijing National Culture Palace, which was a great success. They stood out from the tea art performance teams of many provinces and regions, and were invited by China Tea People's Association to perform in Beijing during the 1990 Asian Games.

At that time, Yun Teahouse was performed in Beijing Laoshe Teahouse and other places, which won warm appreciation from Chinese and foreign people. China Tea Import and Export Corporation, China Tea People's Association and Beijing Branch of China Tea Society expressed their affirmation and gratitude for their performance, which was reported by CCTV and other media. On September 9th, 1990, Spring City Evening News also published a report entitled "Fragrance in Nine Places". Since then, Yun Teahouse has also performed in Japan, Morocco, Malaysia and other countries.

Wang's point of view

Over the years, there has been little media publicity about "Kunming Jiudao Tea", so many readers don't know what "Kunming Jiudao Tea" is. He believes that whether "Kunming Jiudao Tea" can finally be selected as one of the "Top Ten Business Cards" has promoted and popularized Yunnan tea culture.
