In short: Anhui Huangshan United Keemun Tea Co., Ltd. - Office and Factory is a tea processing facility located in Anhui Huangshan Economic Development Zone, China, at 149 metres elevation, certified by the Ethical Tea Partnership.
Anhui Huangshan United Keemun Tea Co., Ltd. - Office and Factory is a tea processing facility situated in the Anhui Huangshan Economic Development Zone, China, at an elevation of 149 metres. The site operates under its own name and produces green, oolong and black teas. Its location in the Huangshan region of Anhui province places it within one of China's historically significant tea-producing areas, though the facility itself is positioned within an industrial development zone rather than a traditional garden setting.
Terroir & Climate
At 149 metres above sea level, this facility sits at a relatively low elevation by the standards of premium Chinese tea gardens. Estates and processing centres in the broader Huangshan region typically benefit from the area's subtropical monsoon climate, with warm, humid summers and cool winters. The region's latitude of approximately 30° north places it in a zone that generally supports a long growing season, though lower-elevation sites such as this one tend to experience warmer temperatures and earlier bud-break than high-mountain gardens.
The surrounding Huangshan prefecture is known for mist, rainfall and well-drained soils on higher slopes, conditions that typically favour slow leaf development and complex flavour. However, facilities at lower elevations in development zones often focus on processing leaf sourced from multiple origins, rather than estate-grown material. The climatic conditions at this altitude would typically support vigorous growth and higher yields, characteristics often associated with more accessible, lower-elevation tea production in eastern China.
Tea Produced
The facility produces green, oolong and black teas. Anhui province is historically associated with Keemun black tea, which typically offers malty, wine-like notes with subtle smokiness, though precise cup character depends on leaf origin and processing technique. Green teas from the broader Huangshan area often display a lighter, more vegetal profile, while oolongs from Anhui tend to occupy a middle ground, with floral or fruity notes depending on oxidation level. As a processing facility, the final character of teas produced here will reflect both the origin of the leaf and the processing standards applied on site.
Operator
The facility is operated by Anhui Huangshan United Keemun Tea Co., Ltd., which manages this site as both an office and factory. No other estates or facilities operated by the same company are currently recorded in our directory, suggesting either a single-site operation or a business model focused on this location. The company's name references Keemun, one of China's most internationally recognised black teas, indicating a likely specialisation or historical connection to that style, though the facility's production now spans multiple tea categories.
Certifications & Ethics
The facility holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership, a multi-stakeholder initiative that requires members to meet standards on labour rights, health and safety, and environmental stewardship. ETP certification involves regular audits and improvement plans, and is recognised by many international buyers as a baseline assurance of responsible sourcing. For buyers, this certification offers third-party verification of workplace conditions and management practices; for workers, it is intended to support safer conditions, fair treatment and access to grievance mechanisms.
