Fujian Sufu Tea Co., Ltd. is a tea estate located in Fujian Province, China, at an elevation of 472 metres. The estate is operated by Fujian Sufu Tea Co., Ltd., which shares the same name as the property itself. The operation produces green, oolong and black teas, reflecting the province's traditional diversification across multiple tea categories.
Terroir & Climate
At 472 metres above sea level in Fujian Province, the estate sits at a mid-elevation typical of many commercially significant tea-growing areas in southeastern China. Estates at this altitude generally experience moderate diurnal temperature variation, which tends to support steady vegetative growth without the extreme slowing of leaf development seen at higher elevations. The latitude of approximately 26°N places the property in a subtropical zone where the growing season typically extends across much of the year, punctuated by a winter dormancy period that is shorter and milder than in more northerly tea regions.
Fujian's climate is generally characterised by high humidity and substantial rainfall distributed across the warmer months, conditions that tend to favour the production of both oxidised and unoxidised teas. The interplay of warmth, moisture and elevation often influences leaf texture and the accumulation of secondary metabolites, though specific outcomes depend on cultivar selection, agricultural practice and processing intent—none of which are documented in available records for this estate.
Tea Produced
The estate produces green, oolong and black teas, a portfolio that reflects Fujian's longstanding role as a centre for diverse tea manufacture. Green teas from mid-elevation Fujian estates often yield a clean, vegetal cup with moderate astringency, while oolongs—particularly those processed in traditional styles—tend to exhibit floral or fruity aromatics and a rounded mouthfeel, the character shaped by partial oxidation and any subsequent roasting. Black teas from the province typically offer malty or sweet notes with relatively smooth tannin structure. The specific leaf cultivars and processing protocols employed by Fujian Sufu Tea Co., Ltd. are not recorded, so precise flavour expectations remain general.
Operator
Fujian Sufu Tea Co., Ltd. operates the estate under its own name, suggesting a vertically integrated or single-estate business model. No other estates operated by the company are recorded in current trade directories, indicating that this property may represent the company's sole or principal production site.
