The time-honored Fuchun Teahouse in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, was established in 1885, under the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1871-1908) in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Fuchun Teahouse is famous for its original tea and dim sum. In December 2006, the teahouse was recognized by the Ministry of Commerce in the first batch of China time-honored brands.

The teahouse combines flowers, tea art, dim sum and other dishes together, allowing people to appreciate delicious food and fragrant tea in a quiet, elegant environment.

Kuilongzhu, an original type of tea created by Fuchun Teahouse, has the flavor of Zhejiang province's Longjing tea, the color of Anhui province's Kuizhen tea and the fragrance of Fujian's Zhulan tea.
