The architecture here retains the style of the Qing and Republican periods, with its heavy beams and flying rafters, exuding an antique charm. Entering the teahouse, wooden tables and chairs amidst the painted wooden beams exude a rustic atmosphere, while porcelain tea sets gleam with a warm luster under the soft lighting.

During the late Qing Dynasty, Tong Shuntai forged a close relationship with Fuding Bailin. They established a branch in Bailin to purchase tea and then partnered with local tea merchants Zhan Zhenbu and Zhan Zhenban to establish Guangtai Tea Company (Zhan Guangtai). Over the past century, Tong Shuntai has experienced both prosperity and decline. It wasn't until 2021 that the old Tong Shuntai Teahouse was restored and reopened. Today, the plaque "Tong Shuntai Notes" on the wall still speaks of its glorious past: "When discussing white tea culture, Fuding Bailin is paramount. Its origins date back nearly 300 years, reaching its peak in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China." 03 A New Rhythm of Old Tea: A Beautiful Blend of Tradition and Modernity To meet the needs of today's high-end consumer, Tong Shuntai maintains its commitment to traditional white tea while also boldly innovating. After years of research and development, they have launched a series of innovative teas and desserts, including 10+ aged white tea, white tea ice cream, cold brew white tea, and white tea tea coffee. 04 High-end Customers: Pursuing Quality in a Secluded Setting Though hidden away in the city, Tong Shun Tai attracts numerous discerning customers who demand a high-quality lifestyle. These customers often share their experiences on social media and make special trips to try them. "After seeing the introductions to these specialty teas and tea-based ice cream on social media, I immediately organized a group to visit Bailin Old Street to try them," said Xiao Li, who works in Bailin Town. After two days of tasting, he found the Bailin Gongfu Black Tea Ice Cream his favorite. High-end customers value not only the product itself, but also the comprehensive experience. The Tong Shun Tai Teahouse boasts an antique charm, with every stone, wood, brick, tile, flower, and plant pleasing to the eye and brimming with poetic charm.

Tong Shun Tai, however, maintains its secluded and tranquil atmosphere, as if oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Here, time slows down. An elderly man sits quietly in the alley, his head slightly bowed, intently reading a newspaper. This tranquility and calmness are precisely what makes Tong Shun Tai so appealing to its high-end clientele. As night falls, the teahouse illuminates with warm lights. The "Beautiful Lady Playing the Pipa" lighting in the window contrasts with the nightscape outside, creating a captivating photo opportunity for social media. #Teahouse #Silk Road Dream Journey #Tea Garden Fragrance #Fuding Travel
