《六口茶》是“民间小调”，只要有土家族山寨，就能听到这首歌，只要是土家人，就会唱这首歌。
虽然大家都会唱这首《六口茶》，却没人知道这首歌原作者是谁。
2001年，恩施市文化馆馆长甘武在恩施州民族礼堂参加活动，颁奖间隙，他听到观众席中两个方阵在对歌，对的正是这首《六口茶》，那是他第一次听到这首歌，甘武如获至宝，赶紧记录下来，并将其编入2005年由中共恩施市委、恩施人民政府所出的一本内部民歌集内。正巧这张歌碟被前去恩施开会的时任宜昌市文联党组书记、主席陈宏灿先生带回宜昌，并转送给宜昌市文联喜欢唱歌的陈涓。陈涓在家中欣赏这张碟片时，音乐响起，歌声传出，陈涓的妈妈说：“这首歌很好听”！陈涓一看歌名，是《六口茶》。
随后陈涓排练《六口茶》，自己一人自问自答，既唱男声又唱女声，服装一边帅小伙一半俏幺妹，陈涓独特的表演形式加上甜美高亢的歌声，于2006年将《六口茶》带到了央视《星光大道》、《魅力中国》、湖南卫视《谁是英雄》等晚会。使这首在深山“封存”了不知多少年的民歌从此飞出大山，逐渐风靡全省乃至全国，更是吸引了众多中外游客前往土家山寨喝茶、听歌、学歌、唱歌。
《六口茶》这首歌成了土家族和世界沟通的桥梁和纽带。
