Gongcheng oil tea traces its origins to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). In the past, the southern mountainous regions were often plagued by miasma, and oil tea was cherished for its refreshing, digestive, stomach-strengthening, and dampness-expelling properties, leading to its widespread consumption among the Yao people. In Gongcheng, oil tea is not only a part of the daily staple during meals but also a unique cultural expression of the Yao ethnic group. Over its millennium-long history, Gongcheng oil tea has evolved into a cultural ritual, complete with specific customs and etiquette. The Yao oil tea customs have gradually become an important means of socializing among Yao compatriots, a significant aspect of ceremonies, and the highest form of etiquette for entertaining esteemed guests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWxCp...
