Haihong Gongfyu Tea Introduction
Hainan has a very long history of tea production. According to research, Hainan’s large-leaf tea was originally derived from large-leaf tea from southwestern Yunnan and southwestern Sichuan that migrated southwards and gradually evolved. In 1959, the state established three state-owned tea farms in Hainan, namely Jianshi, Baimaling and Lingtou, which continued to grow and develop, forming a variety of different forms of black tea.
