Hei Cha (dark teas) in Shaanxi province have very long history and tradition. Since 1368 (Ming Dynasty), Shaanxi merchants started to make dark tea bricks in Xianyang. They took dry raw material from Hunan province and transported to Xianyang by ship and houses. Process of Fu brick includes three elements : first, the water from Jing River is alkaline and it's good for processing. Secondly, Xianyang is located in the arid and semiarid zones. Thirdly, there were many skilled workers at that time.
In 1953, government moved the Fu Cha factory from Xianyang to Yiyang in order to save transportation expense. So Fu Cha began to develop and flourish in Hunan province.
In order to make use of the abandoned and wasted high-quality summer and autumn tea material in Southern Shaanxi tea zone and recover 600-years traditional tea production technology, the “Jingwei Fu Brick Tea” project, a traditional tea production technology restored and developed by the company, was constructed in Xianyang Jingwei New District in April 2009,.
