Sanhe is a representative brand of Liubao tea from Wuzhou, Guangxi, renowned for its traditional craftsmanship and distinctive areca nut aroma. It carries forward the legacy of Chinese tea culture with its rich, mellow flavor.
Brand Story
Sanhe originates from Wuzhou, Guangxi, with a history tracing back to the Qing Dynasty (around the 19th century), when Liubao Town in Wuzhou was already famous for producing Liubao tea, which was exported to Southeast Asia as 'overseas Chinese tea.' In the 1950s, the Wuzhou Tea Factory was established, becoming a major producer of Liubao tea, and Sanhe gradually emerged as its core brand. The name 'Sanhe' symbolizes auspiciousness and longevity, echoing Liubao tea's characteristic of improving with age. Over decades, Sanhe has adhered to traditional pile-fermentation and cellar-storage techniques, developing a unique quality of red, rich, aged, and mellow. After 2000, with the revival of the dark tea market, Sanhe Liubao tea regained popularity, becoming an important symbol of Guangxi tea culture. Its products are not only popular domestically but also exported to Southeast Asia, continuing the historical mission of Liubao tea. Sanhe embodies the craftsmanship of the Wuzhou Tea Factory and serves as a cultural icon of Guangxi's tea industry.
