Pu-Erh Tea blending from Xiaguan

The centuries-old blending and processing skills of Xiaguan Tuocha are the core (technical) competitiveness of the company. It is the result of the inheritance and development of several generations of Xiaguan people in the past 119 years. 

In November 2007, Yunnan Xiaguan Tuocha (Group) Co., Ltd. was approved by the Ministry of Agriculture as the only national tea processing technology research and development center in Southwest China. The technical center includes more than 20 senior engineers, external experts, and professors. It has more than 30 engineers and over 60 technical talents.

The R&D center brings together high-precision equipments, which supports Xiaguan Tuocha's blending technology.

There are three more reasons make sure the Pu-Erh blending from Xiaguan is high quality. 

Raw materials

The certified organic green food base of Xiaguan Tuo Tea has an area of more than 50,000 mu, with 23 green food product certifications and a total annual output of more than 2,000 tons of certified products, ranking among the top tea companies in the province. In order to ensure the quality of raw materials, Xiaguan Tuocha conducts special training on tea planting and tea garden management and protection for tea farmers in each base, and controls and improves the preliminary production lines.

Storages

Over the past 120 years of production, Xiaguan Tuocha has its advantages in raw material storage. Xiaguan Tuocha's Yinqiao new factory area has established a 43,000 square meters raw material storage warehouse, plus the 20,000 square meters storage space of the old factory area, making it the largest 10,000-ton warehouse in the province.

Songtao Pu , Xiaguan Tuocha production technology director, said that in the Xiaguan Tuocha raw material warehouse, more than 300 kinds of raw materials are stored in different production areas, different years, and different grades, and the storage volume reaches more than 18,000 tons at the highest. A small Tuocha may contain raw materials produced in 20 or 30 counties, and the year span is also between 3 to 5 years.

With the advantages of raw material storage and a wide range of choices, it is possible to support the inheritance of Xiaguan Tuocha blending skills for a century, and the blending skills of Xiaguan will not be copied.

Franchise store

With the expansion of the overall Pu-Erh tea market, Xiaguan Tuocha has nearly a thousand national authorized specialty stores and thousands of counters, covering 32 provinces and cities (regions) across China and exported to more than 10 countries such as the European Union, Russia, Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia.
