Anhua Black Tea possesses a variety of biological activities, including regulating metabolism, tonifying the stomach and intestines, modulating gut flora, and enhancing immunity. It can also strengthen capillary resilience and prevent metabolic syndrome. The development of products derived from Anhua black tea in sectors such as beverages, functional foods, and daily chemical goods has become a critical breakthrough for industrial upgrading and development.
Through deep processing steps like extraction, filtration, concentration, separation, purification, and drying, using Anhua black tea as the raw material, we obtain products such as concentrated black tea essence, instant black tea, and extracts of black tea functional components.
I. Development of Anhua Black Tea Beverages
1. Liquid Anhua Black Tea Beverage In 2019, Hangzhou Wahaha Group launched its summer novelty product “Anhua Black Tea,” which uses premium golden flower Fu brick tea as the raw material. This is a natural, additive-free, zero-calorie, sugar-free healthy tea Drink that is easy to carry. Bingweis is a functional black tea beverage developed from Anhua black tea, preserving the taste and flavor of black tea while focusing on radiation resistance. It comes in original and flavored varieties to cater to different consumer preferences.

2. Instant Black Tea Powdered Beverage
The tea deep-processing team at Hunan Agricultural University solved three key technical problems related to the solubility, flowability, and moisture resistance of instant black tea, creating hollow-grained instant black tea with good flowability, rich flavor, and excellent moisture resistance. Ideal Hualei Biotechnology Group used high-quality Fu brick tea as the main ingredient, extracting its flavors and efficacious ingredients through green and efficient methods, developing modern instant black tea that has been highly regarded by the market. Xiangcha Hi-tech Tea Co., Ltd. utilized fully-golden flower Fu brick tea to enrich the microbial metabolites in the product and preserved the original tea taste and flavor through freeze-drying technology, developing the solid black tea beverage “Qingqing Tea.” The “Future K7” golden flower black tea solid beverage, co-developed by Hunan Agricultural University and Changsha Huoman Technology Co., Ltd., can modulate gut flora and improve constipation. Its innovative packaging and marketing approach have attracted many young consumers, generating impressive sales figures.

3. Functional Black Tea Formula Herbal Beverages
Xiangcha Hi-tech Tea Co., Ltd. developed a black tea health food called “Zhenxi Black Tea Carnitine Powder” with black tea extract and L-carnitine as the main components, which has fat-lowering and weight-loss effects and has obtained a health food registration certificate. Bai Cao Jin Hua Su is another beverage that regulates sugar and lipid metabolism, made primarily from golden flower black tea and Uncaria rhynchophylla. Hunan Qianwo Biotechnology Co., Ltd.'s Jiu Hua Xing Heiyuan Su black tea powder contains extracts of black tea, red tea, and tangerine Peel, effectively modulating gut flora and improving constipation. Zimeitang Fruit and Vegetable Enzyme Drink, made from black tea extract and other natural fruits and vegetables, helps maintain gut health and has some auxiliary weight-loss effects.

Hunan Agricultural University and Hunan Haitai Bona Biotechnology Co., Ltd. jointly developed a functional black tea beverage with uric acid-lowering properties using black tea, gardenia, chicory, and Pagoda tree leaf. The “Xiao Heishen” tea drink invented by Hunan Xiaoheshen Biotechnology Co., Ltd. uses Anhua black tea, angelica, polygonatum, and gardenia as medicinal and edible ingredients, inhibiting xanthine oxidase activity, reducing the synthesis of xanthine and oxygen, and thereby decreasing uric acid production in the body.
Meanwhile, new-style tea Drinks, represented by milk tea, have become a fashionable choice for Generation Z. Hunan Gaomae Erxi Tea uses Anhua black tea as the main ingredient, combined with various fruits, to develop mango tea, peach fruit tea, pomelo sea buckthorn, and other series of milk tea products. By creating trendy and convenient mobile milk tea carts for sale in high-traffic areas across cities and counties, these products have great potential for future development.
II. Development of Anhua Black Tea Functional Foods
Anhua black tea has also been widely applied in the functional food industry. Black Rose Tea is China's first ecological beauty tea for women, made from high-quality Anhua wild tip black tea blended with fresh rose flowers. The blend of floral and tea aromas is refreshing and invigorating, with blood-activating and beautifying, detoxifying, and complexion-improving effects. Xiaojiaozhuo Black Tea Cookies, developed by Hunan Agricultural University, differ from most high-fat cookies on the market today. They reduce calorie and sugar intake, provide a sense of fullness, and can modulate gut flora, promoting metabolism and bowel movements. Panda Brewing introduced the Zen Black Tea Golden Ale Beer, combining Anhua black tea with hops to offer consumers a unique taste and a healthy experience. Hunan Genzhi Lian Food Co., Ltd. launched a “Black Tea Crisp” pastry, with a light tea aroma upon entry, sweet but not cloying, and a smooth texture, receiving positive market feedback.
