Fujian Yongchun Foshou Tea King Family

Zheng Qingchi

Born into a family of tea masters, his father, Zheng Yongzhen, was also a renowned tea master. He has received praise from President Xi Jinping and Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi.

Zhang Tianfu, a leading figure in the tea industry, acquired a premium Buddha's Hand tea in the 1980s and became particularly fond of it, praising the tea made by "Tea King" Zheng Yongzhen as "the king of teas among teas." On January 31, 2010, Zheng Qingchi visited Zhang Tianfu's home, and Zhang Tianfu served him ten rounds of tea, the highest level of hospitality Zhang Tianfu had ever shown to a guest!

Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi praised Zheng Qingchi's personally crafted Foshou Zen Tea.

Zhang Tianfu, a leading figure in the tea industry, went to great lengths to obtain a single brew of the finest Foshou tea!
He has a special fondness for this tea, praising his father, "Tea King" Zheng Yongzhen, as "the king of teas."

Renowned tea expert and deputy director of the Tea Research Institute, Guo Yaling, remarked after tasting Yongchun Foshou Tea in Malaysia, "Your best teas have all gone abroad!"

Yongchun County in Fujian Province, China, is a place where local religious culture is best preserved. The Yongchun White Crane Boxing style is widely practiced, and martial arts are highly valued.

The people of Yongchun have worshipped their native deities with piety and reverence since ancient times. Here, local religions, Buddhism, and Taoism are integrated into one.

Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, a monk at the Shifengyan Ancient Temple in Yongchun created Foshou Tea, which has a unique "Foshou Yun(Buddha's Hand Charm)".
In Yongchun, amidst white clouds and monasteries, the aroma of tea wafts through the air. For thousands of years, Zen and tea have been inextricably linked.
Savoring tea allows us to temporarily set aside our hurried journey through life and savor a tranquil state of mind over the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Zen meditation seeks complete enlightenment and liberation in the cycle of birth and death, and in the instant of sudden enlightenment, one feels light and serene, tranquil and still.

Yongchun Foshou
With a history of over 300 years, Foshu Zen Tea originated here and has been exported to Japan and various Southeast Asian countries.
Its leaves are tightly curled, plump and heavy; the color is sandy green and glossy. The tea liquor is yellowish-green, clear and bright; the aroma is rich and lingering; the taste is mellow with a sweet and refreshing aftertaste.

The Yongchun Foshou Tea, personally crafted by Tea King Zheng Qingchi, retains the traditional golden color of the tea liquor. "It tastes even better after three infusions and still has a lingering fragrance after seven infusions."
Zheng Qingchi said, "Foshou tea must have two aromas: seasonal aroma and varietal aroma. The seasonal aroma needs to be produced, but the varietal aroma is even better, which is the unique citron flavor of Buddha's Hand."

In Malaysia, 30% of the local Chinese have a habit of drinking tea, and 700,000 of them are overseas Chinese from Yongchun.

Twenty-five years ago, Zheng Qingchi personally made Foshou Zen Tea and brewed it for the local Chinese community in Malaysia, where it received unanimous praise. Later, his personally made Buddha's Hand Zen Tea sold for over 100,000 yuan.

From then on, the Foshou Zen Tea, personally crafted by Tea King Zheng Qingchi, became famous far and wide.
