Botanical Beach Tea, named after Tang, was called "Chenzhou Yongtan Tea" during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In 1972, the then Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka Tanaka visited China and praised the beach espresso to Premier Zhou Enlai and called it "the tea of ​​friendship between China and Japan." According to legend, over 1300 years ago during the Tang Dynasty, Tang Ruizong’s empress Wu Fengjiao returned to Beijing from the hometown of Fuling Hujiaping. At night, he ambled on the beach and tasted the swiftness of the beach tea. He felt mellow and refreshing, and he chose the best method to bring him back to Kyoto. Tang Ruizong rewarded all the ministers for tasting and praised them. Since then, the beach has been ordered to turn into a tea garden. Later, it gradually spread to Japan and India. It has been at least 1300 years since the history of "Chong Tancha" was traced. According to legend, Tang Gaozong's eighth son, Li Dan, was reduced to Chenzhou (now Fuling) by the Empress Dowager. He was a servant of a Hu family member outside Hu Jiaping and had a love relationship with a female Hu Feng Jiao. Gaozong abdicated and Li Dan returned to the emperor as the emperor, later Tang Ruizong. Shortly after Li Dan became emperor, he was sent to Beijing by Hu Fengjiao. The official ship sails from Chenzhou to the east bank, passes to the beach, and Fengjiao tastes the Longtan tea. He feels sweet and refreshing, and brings it back to the court. Since then, the imperial court has planted large-leafed tea trees on the floodplain and sent them to supervise them every year as a tribute. This tea was later spread to Japan. Therefore, when Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka Kakuei visited China in 1973, he especially asked Premier Zhou Enlai about this tea. Since then, there has been further recovery and development of the Yongtan tea. Today, Yong Beach, 15 Peak and 18 Valley have been dressed in more than 1,000 acres of green tea trees. The tea garden is full of vitality and the tea processing technology has been further improved.
