Fuzhuan Tea belongs to Dark Tea, a fully microbially fermented tea, and is the most complex and unique product among all tea leaves in the dark tea category. According to historical records, Fuzhuan Tea originated in the Song Dynasty, gained fame in the Ming Dynasty, and flourished during the Ming and Qing Dynasties through the Republican era. The first brick of Fuzhuan Tea was born in Jingyang, Shaanxi, by the Jing and Wei rivers. Hunan's tea master Shi Zhaopeng personally inscribed the words 'Origin of Fuzhuan Tea' for Jingyang Fuzhuan Tea. Initially, the raw materials for making Fuzhuan Tea mainly came from Shaanxi and Sichuan. Later, due to a surge in demand, the raw materials from Shaanxi and Sichuan could no longer meet the processing needs, so Hunan's dark raw tea was introduced as the raw material for Fuzhuan Tea.

After the founding of New China, due to the planned economy, Fuzhuan Tea production was concentrated in Hunan's dark raw tea-producing areas, namely Yiyang and Anhua, with an annual output of about 20,000 tons, accounting for approximately 90% of the national Fuzhuan Tea production. Other regions, such as Xianyang in Shaanxi and Puxi in Hubei, also produced small quantities. Fuzhuan Tea is mainly sold in China's border, plateau, and pastoral regions, also known as 'Border Tea.' For centuries, Fuzhuan Tea, with its unique and irreplaceable effects, has stood alongside milk and meat as a daily necessity for the ethnic minorities in the northwest, earning titles like 'Mystery Tea of the Ancient Silk Road' and 'Life Tea of Northwest Ethnic Minorities.' Fuzhuan Tea is not only for personal use but also the preferred gift for ethnic minority people when visiting relatives and friends. The Uyghur people in Xinjiang particularly love Fuzhuan Tea, considering the amount of 'golden flowers' as the sole criterion for judging the quality of Fuzhuan Tea.

Additionally, Fuzhuan Tea is deeply loved by friends in South Korea and Japan, who have conducted a decade-long tracking and research on it. In South Korea, Fuzhuan Tea is called 'Beauty Tea,' and in Japan, it is known as 'Slimming Tea.' In recent years, export volumes have increased significantly.
