Sun Yi Shun is the most famous brand of antique Liu An tea. Liu An tea is highly regarded; it remained a tribute tea until the Qing Dynasty and its price surpassed that of Pu-er teas during the Republic era. Sun Yi Shun features a bamboo basket with a typical handcrafted design from the early Republic era, characterized by its wide, flat, and orderly woven structure. As the finest Liu An brand, it is recognized as the "King of Liu An Tea". The production of Liu An tea is complex, requiring at least three years of storage for the aroma to fully develop. During the Republic era, major tea companies could not afford the lengthy processing and storage, leading them to shift to producing Qimen black tea instead. Liu An tea production nearly disappeared until it was revived in 1984 due to requests from the Chinese medicine community.
