Where it from?
This tea garden is located in Chenxi Township, Shangyu District, Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
At around 500 meters above sea level, it may seem modest — but in this hilly landscape, it’s already considered high terrain. Frequent mist, abundant rainfall, and wide day–night temperature swings nurture tea leaves rich in aroma and internal compounds.
We work with heirloom seed-grown tea bushes (quntizhong), many of which are over 60 years old. Their roots grow over 3 feet deep into mineral-rich soil, allowing the plants to draw natural nutrients and stay resilient through seasonal changes.
This garden has long been my father’s most trusted base — he knows its rhythm and temperament, and can craft entirely different teas from the same fresh leaves simply by adjusting the process.
