Ten years ago, Liu Gang, the founder of Gaishi Tea, was curious about why people drink overnight tea, for example, when buying bottled tea, they would think about whether it was overnight tea? At that time, as an advertising supplier of Coca-Cola, he couldn't figure out this question, and finally simply closed the advertising company and went to sell tea.

Of course, this is not a whim, and Liu Gang also values this market. After investigation, he found that there are bottled tea brands in Japan and the United States, and there are similar products in the Chinese market, but there are basically additives, which is very different from the normal tea drinking habits of Chinese.

So he secretly set a goal in 2014 - to let Chinese drink freshly brewed bottled tea.

In Liu Gang's view, if the blending of tea essence brings the era of tea drink 1.0, and the tea brewing brings about the era of 2.0, then the tea extract represented by the cover is the tea brew that leads the era of tea drink 3.0. The tea powder is stored in the bottle cap, and consumers can get a "freshly brewed kung fu tea" with just a "finger Zen", which meets the demand for health and freshness.
