Anxi Tieguanyin is famous worldwide, yet Tieguanyin honey tea is little known. Recently, at the Anxi China Tea Capital, a honey tea that maintains the charm of tea while possessing medicinal properties has attracted the favor of many tea merchants and enthusiasts. This honey tea is also elegantly called "Honey-Stored Tieguanyin" and is a gradually popularizing new health tea beverage in the market.

In Anxi, "Aged Honey Tea" selects pure natural locally produced winter honey and high-quality aged Tieguanyin (five or ten years old), using ceramic jars as fermentation vessels. The technique continues the ancient honey tea production process, resulting in a sweet and fragrant taste. It also has effects such as relieving irritation and greasiness, regulating the stomach and intestines, beautifying the skin, and alleviating hangovers.

Wei Quanliang, from Xiping, the birthplace of Tieguanyin, introduced that making honey tea has a history of over a hundred years, with older generations traditionally using it as a folk remedy for reducing summer heat and bloating. He said that the honey tea made by the older generation had a shelf life of less than one year, and how to extend its preservation period had always been a challenge. Ten years ago, Mr. Wei met Chen Xingxi, an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with deep knowledge of honey. Chen Xingxi explained that when making honey tea traditionally, the honey was not cooked. Uncooked honey cannot be stored for long; although honey has preservative properties, natural honey can spoil after a certain period. Cooking it allows for much longer storage. After solving the preservation problem, Wei Quanliang, based on the traditional honey tea-making techniques of his ancestors and combined with modern scientific technology, used robust aroma Tieguanyin as the raw material, scientifically incorporating winter honey and soluble pearl powder to create a new generation of honey tea.

Tea, honey, and pearl powder are all originally healthy beverages. Now, organically combining the three maximizes their effects, offering benefits such as relieving irritation and greasiness, regulating the stomach and intestines, beautifying the skin, nourishing the heart and protecting the liver, and clearing heat and detoxifying. Mr. Wei explained that the most significant effect lies in detoxification and beautification, possessing very strong detoxifying properties. This also distinguishes Tianxiang Honey Tea from other tea leaf health beverages. Senior tea taster Li Zongyuan, after tasting this honey tea, noted it has the taste of honey and the aroma of tea leaves, feeling mellow and thick in the mouth.

Nowadays, honey tea has received positive feedback in the market. Japanese merchants who came to taste it were full of praise and greatly impressed. They only knew Anxi had Tieguanyin but never imagined Anxi could produce such a wonderful tea-based health drink.

The making of honey tea in Anxi has ancient origins, stemming from folk practices. Relevant tea experts stated that the development of new products like honey tea holds enlightening significance for leading new health trends, extending the industry chain, increasing added value, changing the single structure of Anxi's tea industry, and enhancing its ability to withstand risks.
