In short: Zehjiang Tea Group is a tea estate located in Zhejiang province, China, at 13 metres elevation, operating under its own name and certified by the Ethical Tea Partnership.
Zehjiang Tea Group is a tea estate situated at 218 Ti Yui Chang Road in Zhejiang province, China, operating at an elevation of just 13 metres above sea level. The estate is operated by Zehjiang Tea Group itself and produces green, oolong, and black teas. The operation holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership.
Terroir & Climate
At 13 metres above sea level, this estate occupies low-lying terrain in Zhejiang province, positioned at approximately 30.3°N latitude near the Yangtze River Delta region. Estates at such low elevations in this part of eastern China typically experience a humid subtropical climate with warm, wet summers and mild winters, conditions that generally support vigorous vegetative growth and extended growing seasons. The proximity to sea level and the region's latitude tend to produce warmer ambient temperatures year-round compared to higher-altitude estates.
The estate produces green, oolong, and black teas. Zhejiang province is historically associated with green tea production, and estates in this low-elevation, warm-climate zone often yield teas with brisk, vegetal character when processed as green tea. Oolong production at lower altitudes in the region can tend toward fuller-bodied, less floral profiles than high-mountain examples, while black teas from such environments may exhibit malty or robust cup characteristics. The specific cultivars and processing methods employed will ultimately determine the flavour profile of each tea type.
