Time-Honored BrandFuyu · Beijing · Founded 1800
Fuyu, a Beijing tea brand rooted in traditional craftsmanship and the city's cultural heritage, traces its origins to around 1800. Though its exact founding year is unverified, it remains dedicated to preserving the essence of Chinese tea culture.
Brand Story
Fuyu originated in Beijing, with a history dating back to the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty (around 1800 AD), when the city, as the political and cultural center, thrived in tea culture. Legend has it that the brand was founded by a tea merchant surnamed Wang, who was well-versed in the art of tea. He traveled extensively through southern tea regions, selected premium leaves, and used unique blending techniques to create teas suited to northern palates. Wang's tea house initially stood in Dashilan, Qianmen, and became renowned in the capital for its fragrant, mellow brews, attracting officials and literati alike. In the early 20th century, the third-generation heir, Wang Futang, modernized the craft and management, expanding the brand's influence. The name 'Fuyu' not only means 'rich fragrance' but also honors its founder. Over a century, Fuyu has witnessed Beijing's transformation, blending imperial elegance with local life, becoming a symbol of Beijing's tea culture. Today, it continues to write its tea legend by combining ancient methods with modern aesthetics.
