Terroir & Climate
At 391 metres elevation in Guzhang County, this estate sits within the subtropical monsoon climate zone typical of western Hunan. Estates at this moderate altitude generally experience warm, humid summers and relatively mild winters, with the region receiving substantial rainfall during the growing season. These conditions tend to favour a prolonged vegetative period and steady flush cycles from spring through autumn.
The latitude of approximately 28.6°N places Guzhang in a transition zone where temperate and subtropical influences overlap. Mid-elevation sites in this area often benefit from mist and cloud cover during the warmer months, which can moderate direct sun exposure and maintain leaf moisture. Soils in Hunan's hill country are typically acidic and well-drained, characteristics that generally suit the cultivation of Camellia sinensis across multiple processing styles.
Tea Produced
The estate produces green, oolong, and black teas. Green teas from Guzhang County are often associated with the region's historical reputation for delicate, aromatic styles, and estates at this elevation typically yield leaf with a balance of vegetal freshness and moderate body. Oolong production in Hunan tends to range from lightly oxidised, floral styles to more developed, amber-liquor types. Black teas from mid-elevation sites in the province generally offer malty sweetness with restrained astringency, though cup character will vary with cultivar, season, and processing choices.
Operator
The estate is operated by Guzhang Organic Tea Co., Ltd., which shares its name with the production site. No additional estates operated by this company are currently recorded in industry directories.
