We ensures the authenticity and uniqueness of our teas through a rigorous and meticulous selection process, supported by experienced tea masters and premium tea gardens. The comprehensive evaluation criteria encompass the following key elements:

Sensory Evaluation: Each tea undergoes individual assessment and is scored based on four key aspects, color, aroma, taste, and appearance. We only consider teas with high scores in both individual and overall evaluations.

Region Assessment: Different regions impart unique flavors and characteristics to tea. We deeply understand the geographic environment, climate conditions, and soil characteristics of each region to ensure the quality and distinctiveness of our teas.

Seasonal Selection: The harvesting season directly impacts the quality and taste of tea. Our team particularly favors spring teas for their optimal taste and nutritional content.

 Variety Identification: The tea's variety determines its fundamental characteristics. We carefully select various tea varieties, ensuring each tea reflects the unique flavors and traits of its specific type.

Processing Site and Method: We evaluate the processing sites and methods to ensure each step is strictly controlled and meets the highest standards, preserving the tea's authentic flavor.

Storage Methods: Proper storage significantly impacts tea quality. We use scientific storage methods to maintain the freshness and flavor of delicate teas like green tea and to enhance the aging process for teas like Pu-erh, Liu Bao, and white tea, which benefit from long-term storage.

On-Site Inspections: We conduct multiple on-site inspections each year, providing technical support and optimizing production processes, especially during the rainy spring season.

Through these rigorous selection steps, we ensure that our customers receive authentic, high-quality, and unique teas.

We collaborate with certified organic and sustainable tea gardens. All our teas undergo multiple third-party certifications to ensure their organic and sustainable quality. Our partner tea gardens use eco-friendly farming practices to minimize environmental
impact.  Although not every one of our teas is organic at this moment, we are actively working towards this goal.
