Wu Juenong, a contemporary Cha Sheng, said: "Ninghong is the earliest tribe in history. 90 years ago, Ning Hong preceded Qi Hong and then Qi Hong ". By the middle of19th century, Ninghong sold well in Europe and America and became a famous tea in China. William Ux, an American tea expert, commented in his monograph "The Complete Book of Tea": "Ninghong is beautiful in appearance, compact in structure, black in color and attractive in water color, and has great value in blending tea", praising "Ninghong has good aroma and taste." 1904 Ninghong produced Prince Tea, a tribute of the imperial court. During the Guangxu period, the special Taizi tea made by Luo Kunhua of Manjiang "Houshenglong Tea House" was sold to the Russians at the price of 2 taels of silver per catty in Hankou. 19 14 Ninghong Acura White Prince Tea participated in the Shanghai Competition, with 48 taels of silver per catty, and the tea was awarded the "Tea Covers China, the price is the best in the world" award plaque by five foreign businessmen. In the second year of Qing Dynasty, Guo Minsheng opened Yitai Fragrant Tea Shop, and in the fourth year of the Republic of China, Guo Zaite made it specially. He won the first prize in Nanyang Persuasion Competition and won the best super diploma.
From the 18th to 20th year of Guangxu (1892- 1894), Ninghong gongfu tea reached its peak in the international tea market, with an annual output of 300,000 boxes (25 kg per box). In the thirty years of Guangxu, the output of Ninghong reached 300,000 tons. At that time, there were more than 100 teahouses and tea shops in the county, and there were many people in the tea industry. Among them, Zhenzhi Company, Jichanghang, Dajiaxiang, Yihefu, Hengfengshun, Guangxinglong, Xiangxiang, Hengchunhang and Tian Tong are well-known, and the county's tea exports account for more than one tenth of the country. Mr Wu Juenong told this story in 1985, and in 1934, he went to London, England. At that time, the tea in the London market was packaged in small packages, with Ningzhou black tea written on the outside, but with black tea from Qimen and China inside. This shows that Ninghong was prosperous at that time.
After 1930s, with the rise of tea industry in India, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Japan, and the invasion of imperialism, Ninghong was severely damaged and its export was on the verge of despair. After repairing water, the annual output of Ninghong Kung Fu tea plummeted to 7424 tons.
After liberation, Ninghong Gongfu tea developed rapidly. Now the area is over 654.38+10,000 mu, and a batch of new high-yield tea gardens are thriving, with primary tea factories all over the township. Ninghong Group Company, the largest refining factory in Ninghong (Xiushui Tea Factory originally established in 1949), has now become the largest professional factory for producing and processing black tea in Jiangxi, with complete equipment and advanced technology. 65438-0958 premium black tea sold to the former Soviet Union was appraised by experts at home and abroad to meet the national standard of advanced black tea, and was specially congratulated by China Tea Import and Export Corporation. In the same year, the advanced Ninghong Kung Fu tea "Gu Hong" was given to foreign guests in the State Council as a gift tea. The next year, the super Ninghong Kung Fu Tea sent to Lushan Meeting was well received by the central leaders. Ninghong Super Kung Fu Tea Ninghong Hawking, produced in 1985, is one of the top ten Kung Fu teas in China. This product takes "Prince Tea" as raw material, and is carefully made under the guidance of modern technology on the basis of traditional technology. The rope is beautiful, the seedling color is gorgeous, the color is oily, the taste is fresh and strong, the leaves are red and tender, and the soup is bright. 1988 was selected as the gold medal of the first China Food Expo. Inscriptions by Mr. Wu Juenong, a contemporary Cha Sheng: "Ningzhou black tea enjoys a good reputation in China, is determined to innovate and will last forever", and "Ninghong Qi Hong, also known as the first in a hundred years".
With the rapid development of economy and technology, the habit of mainly drinking tea has been seriously impacted by the endless stream of healthy drinks such as Coca-Cola, Jianlibao and mineral water. The sales of Ninghong, an old brand, dropped sharply. At the end of 1980s, the loss of enterprises was 1000 million yuan, and Ninghong Group, a large enterprise with 1000 people, was faced with the situation that there was no way to recover. However, Ninghong people did not flinch, but struggled to open up. With the help of experts and professors from Shanghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Nutrition and Dietotherapy Research Association, Ninghong health tea series products were born in the first spring of 1990s. Nowadays, Ninghong people have won the domestic and international markets with their quality, reputation and benefits, with an annual output of more than 7,000 tons, an output value of over 100 million yuan, an annual profit and tax of 25 million yuan, and an annual export earning of one million dollars. Their products are exported to more than 30 countries and regions, and have successively won the titles of "the first batch of famous brand products in Jiangxi Province", "famous products in China food industry" and "Top 100 stars in China food industry", and Ninghong trademark has been approved and registered by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. On the journey to realize the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Ninghong people will further emancipate their minds, strive for famous brands and revitalize Ninghong.
Ninghong Kung Fu Tea is divided into 8 grades. Super Ninghong is tight and thin, with exposed peaks and seedlings, black and oily, fresh and rich, fresh and mellow, tender and cute, and the soup is red.
As an export production base of "Ninghong Gongfu Tea", a new variety of "Ninghong Gongfu Tea" 1958 produced in xiushui county has been appraised by experts at home and abroad, and its quality has reached the international advanced tea standards. 1980 was awarded a commendation order by Jiangxi Provincial People's Government. 1983 was awarded the honorary certificate by the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade of the People's Republic of China. 1984 won the Jiangxi Quality Product Award, and 1985 won the Golden Cup Award and the National Silver Award from the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries.
Ninghong Gongfu tea is a treasure of traditional tea-making technology in China, and the art of Ninghong Gongfu tea is also the inheritance of traditional culture in China. As the only legal registrant of the trademark "Ninghong", Jiangxi Ninghong Liability Co., Ltd. urgently hopes that the best-selling brand of "Ninghong" will bring a new opportunity for Ninghong that has never been seen in a hundred years. Ninghong slimming tea developed by Jiangxi Ninghong Co., Ltd. is the sublimation and development of Ninghong kungfu tea. It makes use of the inherent lipid-lowering and weight-reducing effects of Ninghong Gongfu tea, and is matched with cassia seed and hawthorn, so that the traditional culture of Ninghong flower is integrated into modern slimming health care, thus making Ninghong products go abroad again.
According to the survey, there are fewer and fewer young people who know Ninghong Kung Fu tea. The only remarkable thing is that there are still a large number of loyal consumers abroad who love China Ninghong Gongfu Tea. These people from the Netherlands, Britain, France and the United States have successively negotiated with the person in charge of Ninghong, offering sky-high prices, hoping to obtain the raw materials, formulas and production techniques of the entire brand of Ninghong and even all the products of Ninghong Gongfu Tea series, and push them to the international market as their own brands. Jiangxi Ninghong Company believes that a brand that has enjoyed a reputation for hundreds of years in China, if it is given to foreigners, national feelings will not pass. It doesn't want the brand to be destroyed in its own hands for hundreds of years. Although it is not very powerful now, we should do our best and leave no regrets. After years of struggle, Ning Hong has gradually realized that the protection of traditional cultural heritage can't be done by herself. To this end, Ninghong Company recently contacted a number of newspapers, hoping to mobilize the power of the media and let the whole society pay attention to the development of Ninghong brand.
