Brand Story
Originating from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, the Bajiaoting brand takes its name from the octagonal pavilions found in local Dai villages, symbolizing good fortune and unity. Established in the 1980s, during China's reform and opening-up, the brand capitalized on the resurgence of the Pu'er tea market. Leveraging the high-quality large-leaf tea resources of Menghai, the founder adhered to traditional sun-drying techniques to craft Pu'er teas with distinctive aged aroma and mellow taste. Bajiaoting has since grown, blending quality with culture, earning acclaim both domestically and internationally. It stands as a representative brand of Yunnan Pu'er tea, emphasizing nature, health, and harmony, reflecting the profound tea traditions of Yunnan's ethnic minorities. Despite the exact founding year awaiting official confirmation, Bajiaoting has established a solid reputation in the tea industry through consistent quality and distinctive cultural character.
