Fengjie Burley Tobacco is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　Burley (burley) is one of the types of tobacco. It belongs to the species Nicotiana tabacum of the genus Nicotiana in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), and is a variety of flue-cured tobacco. Since the stems and veins of burley tobacco are milky white, a more accurate term would be White Burley.

　　Compared to other types of tobacco leaves, burley leaves are larger and thinner, with a loose structure, strong elasticity, high filling capacity, and excellent absorption ability, allowing them to absorb large amounts of added flavoring agents during processing. Burley has relatively high total nitrogen and nicotine content but low sugar content. When burned, it releases less tar, maintains combustion well in smoldering conditions, and produces white ash. The leaves have a distinctive rich aroma, and when treated with flavorings, burley exhibits particularly good fragrance retention. Due to these characteristics, it helps improve the quality of cigarettes and enhances their flavor.
