Terroir & Climate
At 41 metres above sea level, this estate occupies low-elevation terrain in Anxi County, a region that sits within the subtropical belt of southern Fujian. Estates at this latitude and altitude typically experience a warm, humid climate with a long growing season, conditions that generally favour vigorous flush cycles and abundant leaf production. The modest elevation means that temperature variation between day and night tends to be less pronounced than in high-altitude districts, a factor that can influence the accumulation of certain flavour compounds in the leaf.
Anxi County is historically associated with oolong production, and the local terroir—characterised by red soil derived from weathered volcanic and sedimentary rock—often supports cultivars adapted to the region's warmth and rainfall patterns. Estates in this area typically benefit from consistent moisture during the spring and autumn flush periods, though lower-elevation sites may experience greater heat stress in midsummer. These environmental conditions tend to yield leaf that is robust and aromatic, well-suited to the partial oxidation processes traditional to the region.
Tea Produced
The estate produces green, oolong, and black teas. Anxi County is particularly noted for its oolong production, and teas from this region typically exhibit floral and fruity aromatics, often with a smooth, rounded body. Green teas from lower-elevation sites in southern Fujian tend to display a fresher, more vegetal character, while black teas processed in this area generally offer malty sweetness and a clean finish. The diversity of tea types produced suggests processing flexibility, with the terroir and cultivar selection likely adapted to support this range.
Certifications & Ethics
The estate holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership, an industry body that works to improve social and environmental conditions in tea-growing regions. Membership requires adherence to standards covering labour rights, health and safety, and environmental stewardship, with independent monitoring and capacity-building support. For buyers, this certification offers third-party assurance that the estate is engaged in ongoing efforts to meet recognised ethical benchmarks; for workers, it is intended to support safer working conditions and more transparent employment practices.
