Brand Story
Runsi originates from Anhui, deeply connected to the legacy of Keemun black tea. Keemun black tea was first created in 1875 (the first year of the Guangxu reign) by Yu Ganchen, a native of Yixian, who established a tea house in Yaodu Street, Zhide County, and later introduced the craft to Qimen. Runsi carries forward the traditional techniques of Keemun black tea, and although its exact founding year is not recorded, the brand is deeply rooted in this fertile tea culture. Key figures such as Yu Ganchen laid the foundation for Keemun tea. Runsi crafts tea with dedication, integrating modern management to spread the renowned aroma of Keemun, making it a representative among China's time-honored tea brands. Culturally, Runsi embodies the spirit of Hui merchants and the essence of the tea ceremony, serving as an important symbol of Anhui tea culture.
