The Development History of Xinyang Maojian Tea

Xinyang Maojian Tea is a famous tea in China, which is produced in Huashan District and Xinxian County, Xinyang City, Henan Province, and its history can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xinyang's tea production was quite mature, especially the tribute tea in Huashan District and Xinxian County was famous all over the country. During the Qing Dynasty, western missionaries came to Xinyang and tasted the local tea, especially the mainstream Longjing green tea at that time. They brought western strict quality inspection standards and technologies to China, so Xinyang Tea began to pay attention to the improvement of quality and production technology.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Xinyang tea gradually declined, and many local farmers turned to planting corn, cotton and other crops. However, in the 1958 reform movement, Xinyang municipal government began to promote farmers to develop the tea industry, among which Xinyang Maojian was concerned. In 1970s, Xinyang Maojian tea began to enter the market and gradually became one of the mainstream products in the tea market.

With the steady market position of Xinyang Maojian tea, tea factories and tea farms began to carry out technological innovation and brand building. For example, they have improved the output and quality of tea through modern equipment and science and technology, and at the same time improved the packaging and marketing, so that the market share of Xinyang Maojian tea has been continuously improved.

Nowadays, Xinyang Maojian tea has become one of the best-selling commodities in China tea market and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.
