A black tea from Georgia for daily life, produced according to the traditional Georgian way, somehow reminding of a Qi Men Gong Fu - the tea trees are originally from Qimen. Around 1850, upon a request by the Tsar, tea plants have been brought from China to Georgia, and since then, black tea is being produced in Georgia. In the rest of Europe, Georgian tea has often gone under the name of Grusinian OP. After Georgia's descent caused by the dissolution of the Soviet union tea is experiencing an increase in the quality of production.

Weitere Schwarztees chinesischer Art Some other types of black tea of the Chinese style were developed towards the end of the 19th century in various places situated in south-east China, mostly following the examples of the Qi Hong (Keemun Black Tea) or the Min Hong Gong Fu, the Fujian Gong Fu Black Tea. It is also at this time that the production of tea in Georgia began, also in the manner of Keemun-style black tea. In more contemporary times, some of the countries neighbouring China began to produce black tea. They are produced using leaves of Xiao Ye Zhong tea plants, which is the Small Leaf Varietal or camellia sinensis var. sinensis, rarely also from Da Ye Zhong (large leaf varietal or camellia sinensis var. assamica). They are mellow to the palate, moderately strong and quite aromatic.
