Historical Significance - The Yellow Box Legacy:
The "Yellow Box" Liu Bao tea stands as a benchmark for small-packaged exports and holds the distinguished position as the flagship of the "Three Gentlemen of Foreign Trade." As the earliest of this trio, its inaugural edition debuted in the 1970s under the banner of the "China National Native Produce and Animal By-Products Import & Export Corporation, Wuzhou Branch, Guangxi Division," branded with the iconic "Zhongcha" (China Tea) trademark. Initially targeting markets in Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Singapore, and other Southeast Asian regions, it became a cornerstone of Liu Bao tea’s illustrious export history.
