The 3rd-generation successor: Li Faqi


    Li Faqi is the third generation of Li Ji GuZhuang, he lived during the period of "unified purchase and marketing", this policy led to the abolition of private workshops, so Li Ji GuZhuang tea skills in this period can only be secret to the world.
    Li Wenxiang, the founder of Li Ji GuZhuang, through the hard life of the caravan and the experience of selling tea salt, founded the tea workshop - Li Ji GuZhuang in Jinggu in 1900, and innovatively made mooncake shaped ball tea, laying the prototype of the Tuo tea. After Li Wenxiang, Li Ji GuZhuang developed rapidly in the hands of the second generation successor Li Xuexiu, becoming a best-selling side tea, export tea and domestic tea. But to Li Faqi's generation, due to historical reasons, Li Ji GuZhuang tea making skills could not continue to spread widely.
    Decades later, Li Ming, the fourth generation grandson of Li Wenxiang, returned to Xiaojinggu, invested in the establishment of the factory, and committed to adhering to the tea making technology of his ancestors, carrying forward the legacy of Li's tea industry, and laying a solid foundation for Li Ji GuZhuang to continue the glory of a hundred years ago.
