Main business
The official group introduction presents a business covering tea production, processing and sales, with product development extending into instant tea and tea foods. The processing network connects a central production base with initial-processing facilities. The company’s tea technology park is in Yuyangguan, Wufeng. This combination helps explain the brand through both its regional green tea and its wider processing capabilities.
Main products and their characteristics
| Caihua Maojian green tea | The central regional product. Official descriptions emphasize fine leaves, a fresh taste and chestnut-like aroma; flavor varies with grade, harvest and brewing. |
|---|---|
| Yihong Gongfu black tea | A separate black-tea direction. Group product material includes a Caihua Gushu Cha Yihong Gongfu example, distinct from Maojian green tea. |
| Instant tea | A processing and ingredient direction identified in official company and government material; specifications depend on the business inquiry. |
| Tea foods | An extension of tea processing into food products, rather than another traditional leaf-tea category. |
Wufeng tea gardens and the Caihua story
Qinggangling ecological tea garden forms part of the official group presentation of the area around the technology park. Tea gardens, production and tea-culture activities give visitors a practical way to understand the company’s Wufeng background. The landscape explains the regional setting; it should not be used to assign the same garden origin to every item sold under the brand.
Caihua’s 1951 predecessor, its 2005 company formation and its 2022 group integration are three different milestones. Yichang Tea Group also operates other tea businesses, so the group’s entire brand portfolio is not presented here as Caihua’s own product range. The public heritage directory records Caihua’s national time-honored brand recognition in 2024.
