Beginning
Menghai County Fuhai Tea Factory(勐海福海茶厂) is located in Erhai County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. This is the famous Pu’er tea origin and core producing area. The predecessor of Fuhai Tea Factory（福海茶厂）was Menghai Xinghuo Tea Factory（勐海星火茶厂）. It was established in 1983 by the management staff and technical backbone of Menghai Tea Factory.At that time, it specialized in producing black teas such as CTC black broken tea and Kung Fu black strip tea.During this semi-fermentation process for producing black tea, the Pu-erh tea full-fermentation process was gradually developed and improved by the Fuhai Tea Factory. In 1998, in order to meet the needs of Pu’er tea market development, it was renamed as Fuhai Tea Factory in Menghai County, which specialized in producing Pu’er tea.
