Zhaoliqiao Brick Tea Factory
赵李桥茶厂
A state-owned heritage brick-tea factory that keeps its old plant and the “Chuan”-brand brick-tea process, offering a window onto the Ten Thousand-Li Tea Road and the industrial heritage of green brick tea pressing.
Zhaoliqiao Tea Factory is an old state-owned tea plant that carries on the traditional green brick tea craft of the Yangloudong area. Its “Chuan”-brand green brick tea was long sold to Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Russia. The factory grounds retain Soviet-style old plant buildings, and some areas allow visitors to see the pressing and fermentation processes, or to visit the exhibition hall to learn about the history of brick tea and buy tea. The factory is still in production; visits generally require advance arrangements or joining a tour group, and opening arrangements are set by the factory. It is near Zhaoliqiao Station on the Beijing–Guangzhou Railway in Zhaoliqiao Town. The coordinates use the town center and are approximate.
