Menghai Tea Factory

Tea from the renowned Menghai Tea Factory produce some of the world’s most coveted dark teas. Established in 1940, this factory helped pioneer the production of Shu Puerh Tea, also known as Ripe Puerh.

Located in the Xishuangbanna prefecture of Menghai County, the Menghai Tea Factory was state-run until 1996, when it transitioned into a private enterprise. This transition also marked the adoption of its iconic “Dayi” symbol, roughly translating to “great benefit.”. Thanks to its association with the famous tea factory, this emblem has become synonymous with the highest quality Puerh.
