Tongqiao Green Tea (潼侨绿茶), a distinctive local tea brand from Huizhou, carries a legacy of over 200 years in tea-making craftsmanship. It preserves the traditional method of hand-firing—an intricate process involving twelve steps from leaf picking to final packaging. This practice reflects both the cultural wisdom of the Hakka people and the enduring spirit of the overseas Chinese community.
