Tieguanyin tea is fragrant all over the world. Xianghua township is mostly hilly and hillside, with an area of 18000 hectares. It is very suitable for Tieguanyin to grow because of the long fog and haze, mild and humid.

Xianghua tea has a long history. Many places in Xianghua belonged to chongxinli in ancient times. According to the annals of Anxi County written by Jiajing of Ming Dynasty, "tea is produced by longjuan and Chongxin." After Zhou Xiande three years (956), after leaving office, Zhan Dunren lived in the foot of the fo'er mountain. Because of his deep friendship with the famous monk Shi Hongdao (No. jie'an), Shi Hongdao made a special trip to mount fo'er to visit Dunren. After visiting Buddha's ears with Taoist jie'an and cooking tea for the moon to return, Zhan left a poem saying, "live fire, cook the spring at the bottom of the stream, and talk with you about the mystery of Jingri. Wine must be drunk before it can be drunk, but tea can't be cooked. Leisurely sweep the white clouds and sleep on the stone, waiting for the moon to cross the mountain. It's cold at night when I go back, and I'm ready to wear a feather fan. " It can be seen that as early as the Five Dynasties, Xianghua had already produced tea.

In the early 1980s, Xianghua township was a provincial poverty-stricken township. Chen Shuichao, Secretary of Xianghua Township Party committee at that time, put forward the idea of planting Tieguanyin and vitalizing Xianghua's economy according to Xianghua's unique climate conditions and rich mountain resources. He vigorously mobilized the masses to open up tea gardens and plant high-quality famous tea Tieguanyin. By the end of 1990s, the area of tea garden in Xianghua Township had reached more than 1600 hectares, and the hillside and valley in Xianghua Township were green. Tea industry had become the pillar industry of Xianghua Township and the main source of people's income, creating the economic development mode of "getting rid of poverty by tea and getting rich by tea". In the past ten years, Xianghua township has vigorously implemented the development strategy of "high quality, high quality and famous brand" put forward by the county Party committee and the county government. Tea production has developed rapidly, tea quality has been continuously improved, and has been favored by consumers. The economic income of tea farmers has increased year by year
