Historical Folklore

In Quxiang, Zhouping in Zigui is known for its tea production. As early as during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Li Gao Yong, a respected local from Caijiapo, was summoned and granted the title “Dengshi Lang” by Emperor Qianlong. Grateful for the imperial favor, Li presented the local specialty tea to the emperor. Upon tasting it, Emperor Qianlong was delighted and named it “Silky Tea,” due to the unique appearance of the young tea buds, which had countless silken fibers gleaming silver. From then on, “Silky Tea” from Jiowan became renowned throughout the land.
