Hunan Jinjin Tea Factory Co., Ltd is a tea estate located in Changsha, Hunan Province, China, at an elevation of 64 metres above sea level. The estate is operated by Hunan Jinjing Tea Factory Co., Ltd. and holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership. The estate produces green, oolong, and black teas, though no buyers are currently recorded in public supply-chain disclosures.
Terroir & Climate
At 64 metres elevation, Hunan Jinjin Tea Factory sits in the lowland plains of the Changsha basin, at a latitude of approximately 28.5°N. Estates at such low elevations in this part of central China typically experience a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters, conditions that generally support vigorous vegetative growth and extended growing seasons. The warmth and relatively low diurnal temperature variation common at this altitude tend to favour flush volume over the slower, more concentrated leaf development often associated with high-elevation gardens.
Hunan Province lies inland from the coastal ranges, and the Changsha region typically receives ample rainfall distributed across the year, with peak precipitation in spring and early summer. Estates in this climatic zone often contend with high humidity, which can influence processing choices and post-harvest handling. The modest elevation suggests that frost risk is limited, and the growing season may begin earlier in spring than in more mountainous districts of the province.
Tea Produced
Hunan Jinjin Tea Factory produces green, oolong, and black teas. Estates in the Changsha region, particularly those at lower elevations, typically yield teas with a straightforward, accessible character rather than the pronounced minerality or complexity sometimes found in high-grown leaf. Green teas from this latitude and altitude often exhibit fresh, vegetal notes with a clean finish, while oolongs tend toward lighter oxidation styles with floral or grassy undertones. Black teas produced in lowland Hunan gardens generally offer malty, smooth profiles with moderate body, well-suited to blending or everyday consumption.
Operator
The estate is operated by Hunan Jinjing Tea Factory Co., Ltd. No other estates operated by this company are currently recorded in trade directories.
Certifications & Ethics
Hunan Jinjin Tea Factory holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership, a membership organisation that works with tea producers to improve working and environmental conditions through collaborative audit and capacity-building programmes. For buyers, ETP certification indicates that the estate has committed to meeting standards on labour rights, health and safety, and environmental stewardship, and is subject to third-party verification. For workers, membership signals management engagement with internationally recognised norms on wages, contracts, and workplace welfare.
