People in Chaozhou started drinking congou tea (a black Chinese tea, the etymology of the tea is the same as Kung Fu) in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). By the middle Qing Dynasty, Chaozho congou was popular all over Southeast Asia. Making congou is a very complex and special process and a significant part of traditional culture of Chaozhou. It was selected in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
