Brand story
JINGMIN TEA
A name shaped by Beijing, Fujian and Guizhou—and directed toward the world.
Why this name
Four characters, one connected journey.
JINGMIN TEA is the public-facing brand of Fuzhou Jingmin Smart Tea Technology Co., Ltd., founded by Xiao Chaohu. It is not a claim of owning tea gardens, factories or a proprietary supply chain. It is a platform for responsible supplier research, sourcing coordination, tea-industry communication and smart tea exploration.
The name began with a simple geographic connection: a long professional chapter in Beijing followed by graduate tea science study in Fujian. It now carries a broader purpose—connecting knowledge, technology, China’s tea-producing regions and international partners.
The name, decoded
MIN · 闽
Fujian represents full-time graduate study in tea science, production-floor practice and a deeper understanding of how Chinese tea is made.
THE DOT · 智
The dot is a data node. It represents sensing, analysis, artificial intelligence and the practical use of technology to understand tea processing.
TEA · 茶
Tea is the field that brings the story together—and the shared language through which the brand connects Chinese knowledge, suppliers and international opportunities.
Roots beyond the name
Guizhou remains part of the story.
Xiao Chaohu’s home province, Guizhou, is one of China’s major tea-growing regions. The province maintains about 7 million mu (approximately 467,000 hectares) of tea gardens, placing it among China’s largest provincial tea-growing areas.
Within Guizhou, Tongren has built China’s largest high-quality matcha raw-material base and is home to the world’s largest single matcha refining workshop. In 2025, Tongren’s matcha production and sales ranked first in China and second globally. These precise distinctions matter: the claim concerns Tongren’s raw-material base, production scale and refining facility—not an unsupported claim that the whole of Guizhou is the world’s largest matcha production base.
Its mountains, tea communities and changing industry are a continuing personal concern, even though Guizhou is not represented by a separate character in the company name. Guizhou gives the brand its roots. Beijing contributed a technology and communication perspective. Fujian provides tea science and production practice. The international market gives the work its direction.

What the mark means
Leaf for tea. Dot for intelligence. A wordmark built to travel.
The leaf separates JING and MIN so international readers can pronounce the name more easily. The dot before TEA corresponds to 智—a compact data node representing sensing, AI-assisted analysis and smart processing. The Chinese name retains the origin; the English structure makes the brand accessible across borders.
