Black tea originated in the Ming Dynasty in the 16th century. During tea manufacturing, it was discovered that sun-drying could replace fixation (kill-green), and after rolling the leaves turned red, thus producing black tea. The earliest black tea production began with Souchong black tea in Chong'an, Fujian. In the Qing Dynasty, Liu Jing's "Pian Ke Yu Xian Ji" records: "At the ninth bend of the mountain there is Xingcun town, where tea experts gather. Tea produced elsewhere in the province such as Shaowu and Jiangxi Guangxin, with black leaves and red soup, locally called Jiangxi Wu, is all privately sold to the various firms of Xingcun." After the appearance of Xingcun Souchong black tea, Congou black tea gradually evolved. In the 1920s, India crushed tea leaves during processing to make broken black tea, and in the 1950s our country also began trial production of broken black tea.
