Although I studied in Anhui before, I had never heard of Ancha, which is called "holy tea". It wasn't until two years ago that I heard about it from other friends.

Ancha is a representative of many teas in Anhui, and Ancha is fortunate to have encountered the slow rise of black tea, so it has been valued by people. But there are still many good Anhui teas, which have been submerged in the long river of history.

Innovation is important, and so is inheritance and protection.
