Six Famous Tea Mountains began production in 2002. Like many, founder Ruan Dianrong (1968- ) has Menghai TF connections. However, Ms Ruan’s four-year stint dealt mostly with establishing production standards and marketing. Her role in helping Menghai/Dayi and puerh more broadly develop a consumer base cannot be underestimated, being the first to establish commemorative cakes, puerh tea art, connect Menghai with puerh in the minds of consumers, set up Dayi branches throughout China, promote tea tourism, and to publish on puerh through major Beijing publishing houses.
