Tibetan tea is located in the transition zone from the southwest of Sichuan Basin to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (called "Rain Pole" geographically). The mountains in Ya 'an have been famous for tea since ancient times. It is said that more than 2000 years ago, a Taoist named Wu Lizhen collected wild tea in Mengshan, planted seven kinds of fairy tea and brewed it with nectar well water to create an immortal drink. Therefore, Ya 'an can be said to be the birthplace of "tea" all over the world and the originator of tea.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the tea produced in Yazhou was continuously transported to Tibet through the southwest border, forming a "South Road Side Tea" that took shape. The central government once traded tea for Tibetan war horses, which is known as "tea-horse exchange". The official organization that manages the Tea Horse Exchange is called Tea and Horse Department. At present, there are only six ancient tea and horse departments in Ya 'an, among which Yazhou, Diaomen (now Tianquan in Ya 'an) and Lizhou (now Hanyuan in Ya 'an) are the most famous historical records.
As the production center of Tibetan tea and the distribution center of tea-horse trade, Ya 'an has concentrated on the re-integration of raw tea in parts of Sichuan Luzhou, Yibin, guanxian, Chongqing and Yunnan, with an unprecedented scale. When the caravan carrying Tibetan tea into Tibet assembled in Guya County, there were at most 3,000 able-bodied men and 2,000 packhorses. More than 15000 horses or even as many as 20000 horses are traded in Ya 'an every year.
As the center of tea-horse trade, Ya 'an is also the throat of Sichuan-Tibet and Sichuan-Yunnan. Therefore, the policies and decrees of "tea-horse mutual market" all started from Ya 'an. According to "Food in the Ming Dynasty", in the early Ming Dynasty, "Yazhou Zhaimen Tea and Horse Department" stipulated that there were 40 kg of superior Ma Ci tea in Tibet, 30 kg of middle Ma Ci tea and 20 kg of tea given after dismounting. ..... "In the year when war horses were scarce, Tea and Horse Department, Diaomen, Yazhou, was changed to a' good horse'.
Tibetan tea gives tea 120 kg, Chinese horse gives tea 70 kg, and inferior horse gives tea 50 kg. This shows that Ya 'an plays an important role in tea-horse trade and Tibetan tea transportation.
Ya 'an Tea Factory Co., Ltd. is a joint-stock company established by more than 0/00 tea brands in Ya 'an/KLOC in the early days of liberation, and it is also the largest Tibetan tea production base in China today. Tracing back to the history of Ya 'an Tea Factory, the tea brand "Yixing" jumped into history in Jiaqing period of Ming Dynasty, and the tea brand "Hengtai" was the leading Tibetan tea industry in China at that time in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1704). With a flick of a finger, Ya 'an Tea Factory, with a history of 300 to 400 years, is the originator of Chinese Tibetan tea.
After the founding of New China, Ya 'an Tea Factory has delivered more than 5 million tons of Tibetan tea to Tibetan areas. Every ten years in Xizang Autonomous Region, the government gives the golden tip and kang brick of Ya 'an Tea Factory as designated gifts to every Tibetan compatriot.
