Gutang was originally part of Anhua County. According to the 1992 edition of the *Anhua County Annals*, Anhua has long been known as the “Tea Hometown,” with a long history of tea production. … When the county was established in the Song Dynasty, its tea yield already surpassed that of other counties and prefectures.

The teas produced, such as “Cloud Mist Tea” and “Hibiscus Tea,” became famous both at home and abroad and were offered as tributes to the imperial court. It is said that in the past, monks from the high-altitude Taixiayuan YunTai Mountain would descend from the mountain every year just before Grain Rain, heading toward the Mian’niu Mountain area.

Observing it, the tea had the color of maojian; smelling it, it carried the aroma of Longjing; and drinking it, the aftertaste was deep and lasting. He then brought several kilograms back to the capital to present to the royal family, and it was designated as tribute tea. From then on, the locals were no longer able to enjoy this tea.
