　　据了解，1842年，福州自五口通商以后，逐步成为世界茶港。台江民俗专家林祥彩在《台江商贸话旧》一书中回忆，福州茶市最鼎盛时期约在十九世纪六十年代至二十世纪初叶。当时福州港输出货值总值中，茶叶占百分之八十。福建各地茶叶多集中福州出口，有红茶、绿茶、青茶、白茶、砖茶等，品种齐全。

　　台江区政协文化文史和学习委员会主任石丽钦透露，福建的茶叶品质优良，种类繁多，是“海上丝绸之路”重要的贸易物资之一。自五口通商之后，福州的茶叶远销海内外，作为十九世纪末二十世纪初福州苍霞洲茶帮之魁的“洪家茶”更是如此。

　　石丽钦表示，福州茶叶随着“海上丝绸之路”销往海外，为祈求茶路一帆风顺，茶产业生意兴隆，“洪家”每年都会组织各地茶帮在春秋两季茶叶收获的季节，于福州各个天后宫进行斗茶仪式，将最好的茶叶敬献给海神妈祖。

　　据悉，洪家茶的历史可追溯至1878年，彼时从金门烈屿乡青岐村移居福州台江的洪天赏借助福州港的繁华，从航运业起步，逐步做起茶叶生意，开起茶行；第二代洪家掌门人洪发绥又借助福州港的便利，将茶叶贸易做到了海外。
