OUR STORY · SINCE 1955

Seventy years, devoted to one thing.

Names and eras have changed since the Liubao People's Commune Tea Farm, but our commitment to origin, native cultivars and traditional flavour has endured.

01 / THE BEGINNING

GUANYINGPING

In 1955, the story began with a tea farm.

The Liubao People's Commune Tea Farm was founded in 1955 among the gardens around Guanyingping, becoming an important local producer of tea leaf.

In 1976, the Liubao People's Commune Tea Factory was established and began refining Liubao tea for export. Knowledge of garden, factory and craft has remained at origin ever since.

A LIVING HERITAGE

Moving with the times, growing from tradition.

Following restructuring in 2006, the company adopted the Cangsong name and renewed its focus on traditional craft and native Liubao cultivars.

Three cloud forms and tea buds create the Chinese character for six in our mark. The name Cangsong evokes the evergreen pine and a simple promise: to make good tea with integrity.

03 / WHAT WE KEEP

LONG-TERM CARE

From one seedling to one cup, we remain responsible.

We propagate native cultivars from old gardens, tend and harvest our own estates, complete primary and refined processing, and age the tea in Liubao Town.

Good tea does not come from one decisive step. It comes from sustained responsibility for land, leaf, craft and time.
