Rizhao Black Tea

Rizhao Black Tea is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　  Rizhao Black Tea is a specialty of Lanshan District in Rizhao, Shandong Province.

　　  Rizhao Black Tea was first created by Rizhao Shenggushan Tea Farm Co., Ltd. in early summer 2008. In August 2009, Shenggushan obtained a national industrial production license, becoming the first enterprise in Shandong Province to receive QS certification for black tea, thereby ending the history of Shandong producing only green tea. Since then, Rizhao Black Tea quickly gained market recognition, and its production scale expanded rapidly. By 2012, the processing techniques of Rizhao Black Tea had spread to other tea-growing regions in Shandong. In May 2014, "Rizhao Black Tea" was successfully registered as a geographical indication certification trademark, becoming one of the representative black teas from northern China. On July 24, 115 acres of tea gardens at Rizhao Shenggushan Tea Farm received the international sustainable farm certification — Rainforest Alliance SAN Certification — issued by the Rainforest Alliance. This marked international recognition of the sustainable ecological environment of Shenggushan’s tea gardens, and also meant that Shenggushan tea had obtained a “passport” to the international market. The "Hongyun" series of Rizhao Shenggushan Black Tea stands apart from traditional domestic black teas due to its extremely northern origin and superior quality. It is unique for its mild astringency, smooth and refreshing taste, and richly colored, bright red liquor, establishing its own distinctive style.
