Basic Introduction to Aunt Wang Er's Tea
Aunt Wang Er's Tea is a health tea developed by the Taoist physician Ouyang Jiangnan, relying on the unique geographical advantages of Huangcangyu in Xiao County, Anhui Province. It has recently won three prestigious awards: “China Good Brand Award,” “UN 2015 Designated Ingredient Award,” and “Chinese National Gift.”

Historical Folklore
According to folklore in Xiao County: When Liu Bang led his group of comrades to revolt against the white snake at Mangshan Mountain, they were pursued relentlessly by Qin troops. They ran for their lives and ended up in a deep mountain (then known as Mangshan) southeast of Xiao County, precisely south of Xuzhou. There happened to be a cave on the mountain that could just fit all fifteen of them. After they hid inside, Liu Bang wished out loud that a large boulder could block the entrance. As if on cue, a massive stone rolled down from the mountaintop, perfectly sealing the cave's entrance like a natural barrier. The Qin soldiers could be heard nearby but did not find them, narrowly avoiding certain doom! The group was amazed by this turn of events.
Here, Liu Bang and his men rested and tended to their wounds. Fearing that news of their whereabouts would leak, they dared not venture down the mountain to seek medical help or buy medicine. Instead, they asked local villagers about using herbal remedies to treat infected and festering wounds. The villagers recognized their dialect, as Fengpei and Xiao County both belonged to Xuzhou during the Qin Dynasty, and they shared a common heritage. Liu Bang made sure his subordinates behaved respectfully, so the villagers weren't too frightened. A villager named Wang Er's wife, Aunt Wang Er, told them about a miraculous herb found on the mountain that could cure severe abscesses and knife wounds. For those with persistent fevers, stubborn ulcers, or other chronic ailments that had resisted treatment, this herb was said to work wonders. Her husband Wang Er had once suffered from an unknown poisoning, and because they couldn't afford treatment, Aunt Wang Er dug up some of this wild herb. After he took it internally and used it externally, he recovered fully. Since then, local villagers kept supplies of this herb handy to deal with unexpected emergencies.
Liu Bang was delighted to hear this and found that the herb worked as described when used by his soldiers. To remember Aunt Wang Er's kindness, they named the herb growing on the mountain “Aunt Wang Er.”
Ouyang Jiangnan (Taoist name: Xiaochan Zi), a descendant of Chinese Taoist medicine, was born and raised in Huangcangyu. From a young age, he had a deep interest in traditional Chinese medicine and studied under the guidance of the elderly Chinese doctor Longcheng Lidaikuan. Through diligent research and development, he transformed “Aunt Wang Er” into a premium beverage.
