The Anning Haiwan Tea Co, Ltd is a relatively young tea factory producing pu'er tea located in Menghai, Yunnan, China. It was founded by former Menghai Factory owner Zhou Bing Liang in 1999. Zhou Bing Liang has carried over many methods and recipes from Menghai, quickly establishing Haiwan as a strong competitor in the market.

History
Founded in 1999 by former Menghai factory owner Zhou Bing Liang in partnership with Lu Guoling The primary processing plant lies in Yunshou Mountain adjacent to Aini Village where the local people maintain tea trees. The company claims that this region supplies 1000 metric tonnes of raw material to the factory each year.
On the philosophy of the company, Mr. Bingliang writes, "Tea manufacturers shall be responsible for making good tea and let every customer afford to drink it, no matter who is poor or rich. If the pu'er tea became a kind of luxury for meeting a few people, we should be disgraced to face our predecessors."
