When speaking of Pu-erh tea, one cannot avoid the landmark brand Bajiao Ting, also known as Octagonal Pavilion. As the signature brand of Menghai County Bajiao Ting Tea Co., Ltd. under Yunnan State Farms Group, formerly Li Ming Tea Factory, Bajiao Ting enjoys a respected position in the Pu-erh world. The brand is now celebrating its 60th anniversary. This is not only a milestone for the company, but also a vivid reflection of how Pu-erh tea culture is inherited, renewed, and carried forward.<\/p>\n<p>Li Ming Tea Factory: sixty years of achievement and a witness to the rise and flow of Pu-erh history<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zanteamanor.zeabur.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1_09f08bbe-29d0-4d06-b9d3-4146946d560c_480x480.jpg\" alt=\"Li Ming Tea Factory and Bajiao Ting heritage\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/p>\n<p>As the birthplace of the Bajiao Ting brand, Li Ming Tea Factory has travelled through six decades of remarkable history.

Located in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, where the seasons are gentle and clouds drift through the mountains, Li Ming Tea Factory benefits from exceptional natural conditions while carrying the dedication of generations of tea makers to traditional craft. For sixty years, every Pu-erh tea cake has gathered the care and wisdom of craftspeople, recording the marks of time and the gifts of nature. Today, Bajiao Ting has been recognised as a China Time-honoured Brand. This honour acknowledges both its history and its lasting commitment to quality.<\/p>\n<p>Quality assurance for Pu-erh tea: organic certification and a green, healthy choice for collectors<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zanteamanor.zeabur.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/OFDC_480x480.jpg\" alt=\"OFDC organic certification\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zanteamanor.zeabur.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CNAS_OFDC_480x480.jpg\" alt=\"CNAS OFDC certification\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/p>\n<p>In the process of collecting Pu-erh tea, I have always cared about product quality and safety.
