　　 As a traditional health beverage, Kuding tea has a history of over 2,000 years. The newly processed Junlian Kuding tea combines medicinal, health-promoting, and ornamental qualities. Since its launch in 1997, it has quickly gained recognition and popularity among consumers, with demand far exceeding supply.

　　 Junlian County is rich in Kuding tea resources and endowed with a uniquely favorable growing environment. Since 1998, the county’s Party committee and government have seized opportunities such as industrial restructuring and the conversion of farmland to forest, fully leveraging the resource advantages of Kuding tea. They have actively guided farmers across the county to vigorously develop the Kuding tea industry, nurturing it as a pillar sector for increasing farmers’ incomes. Currently, the county has planted over 50,000 mu of Kuding tea, mainly distributed in towns and townships such as Shuangteng, Tuanlin, Junlian, Xunsi, and Luomurou. There are 29 enterprises engaged in Kuding tea processing, with 8 holding registered trademarks and corresponding brands. Among them, Xingshi Trading Co., Ltd. is a leading enterprise in Yibin City. Its “Xingshi” series of products have been certified by the China Tea Research Institute as “natural green food free from agricultural chemical residues.” In 2001, they won the gold award at the 2nd Shanghai International Food Expo and obtained double-A grade green food certification. In 2002, the county produced 100,000 kilograms of high-quality Kuding tea. Junlian has become the largest Kuding tea production base county in China.
