Why is the word "tea" on the early tea packaging?
We sometimes see the word "tea" on the packaging of old tea cakes. Do you have such a question? What does it stand for? ?

Let's first look at an important event of China Tea Company about Yunnan Tea Branch.

1938, the government of the Republic of China ordered China Tea Company to send Commissioner Zheng Hechun and technician Feng Shaoqiu to Yunnan. After investigation, Yunnan has the economic value of developing tea industry. Yunnan Chinese Tea Trading Co., Ltd. was established on February 6, 65438+ that year, and changed its name to "Yunnan Chinese Tea Trading Company" in 1944, and this name has been used until 1950.

Fohai Experimental Tea Factory was founded in 1940, with Mr. Fan as the factory director, which is the predecessor of Menghai Tea Factory.

1950 China tea company Yunnan branch was established as a "provincial company".

1951September 14 China Tea Corporation registered "China Tea Brand".

Fohai Tea Factory resumed work 1952, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture was established 1953, and it was renamed Yunnan Tea Company Xishuangbanna Tea Factory. Later, Fohai County was renamed Menghai County and Menghai Tea Factory. The next issue is devoted to different tea factories. )

On July 1952 and 19, China Tea Corporation announced the unified launch of "China Tea Brand" in its subordinate systems. Since then, tea factories all over the world have uniformly used "China Tea Brand".

1964, the provincial tea teacher changed its name to "Yunnan Tea Branch of China Industrial Native Products Import and Export Corporation", and changed its name several times during this period.

1June, 972, the provincial tea import and export company merged with the provincial native animal products import and export company, and then the "China native animal products import and export company Yunnan Tea Branch" was formally established.

During the period of 1976, the provincial company held a meeting on the production of Pu 'er tea in the whole province, requiring three tea factories in Xiaguan, Menghai and Kunming to increase the production of Pu 'er tea, and decided on the label of tea products. Menghai Tea Factory started with 74 and ended with 2. Xiaguan Tea Factory 76 ends with 3 starts.

What's the point?

195 1 China Tea Company publicly collected trademarks in Jiefang Daily and Ta Kung Pao, and eight red Chinese characters designed by Cao, an employee of East China Company, surrounded a circle, and the green Chinese character pattern in the middle was selected. Registered at the end of that year, it was the famous "Bazhong" trademark of China tea brand. It is not because of its special meaning that the word "tea" in the middle of "red seal" changes from registered green to red. Zou Jiaju (former general manager of Yunnan Branch of China Tea Company) said that he had made a special investigation in Menghai County, because there was only a small printing factory in the county at that time, and it could not print two colors at a time, so it was printed in red for convenience. Yunnan is remote, and this kind of packaging that violates the registration regulations has been corrected by people in Beijing of China Tea Company.

Simply put, it's a trademark, which means that China tea goes in all directions, and then the font of this tea is green, red and blue. What is the difference? Then we will talk about the differences in a special issue.
