According to "Guangzhou Xiguan Guzai", 1839, Lin Zexu banned smoking in Guangdong. He was tired all day, unfortunately suffered from heatstroke, sore throat and coughing. The entourage invited a famous doctor to prescribe medicine, but the effect was not obvious, and the condition became more and more serious, so they were very anxious. Later, someone praised Wang Laoji, and the medicine was cured. So, Lin Zexu came to thank him and asked his name and medicine. Wang Laoji replied truthfully: "People call me Wang Laoji, just a few worthless herbs to cure you."

Lin Zexu can't help but sigh: "The poor can benefit more from the difference between medicine and cheap medicine. If the medicine can be boiled into tea for people to drink at any time, it will be of great benefit to the public. " After listening to this, Wang Laoji suddenly realized. 1840, Wang Laoji pioneered herbal tea bags, and sold both herbal tea powder and herbal tea bags in the form of "front shop and back shop" to facilitate customers to take them out for a long trip. Let Wang Laoji be all the rage, and the supply is in short supply. Lin Zexu even ordered a big copper gourd jar with the words "Wang Lao Ji" engraved on it.
