At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the development of China's tea industry declined, and the reputation of tea quality also plummeted internationally. Of course, there are the sudden rise of India, Darjeeling, and Sri Lanka, as well as the shoddy and adulterated foreign substances of domestic tea merchants, and Chinese tea has lost its status in the world.
