Terroir & Climate
At 241 metres in the Huang Shan region of eastern China, this facility sits at a relatively low elevation compared to the peaks for which Huang Shan is famed. Estates and processing centres at this altitude in the region typically experience a humid subtropical climate, with warm, wet summers and mild winters. The lower elevation generally means a longer growing season and faster vegetative growth, which can favour volume production and the manufacture of teas intended for broader commercial applications.
The latitude of approximately 30°N places Huang Shan in a zone where tea cultivation benefits from moderate seasonal variation without the extremes of either tropical or alpine conditions. Rainfall is usually abundant during the spring and summer months, and the surrounding topography – even at lower elevations – tends to promote good drainage and air circulation. These factors typically support the processing of a diverse range of tea types, from delicate greens to more robust oxidised styles.
Tea Produced
The facility produces green, oolong, and black teas. Estates and processors in Huang Shan working at this elevation often yield green teas with a brisk, vegetal character, while oolong production at lower altitudes can tend towards fuller body and more pronounced oxidation notes. Black teas from this region and elevation typically offer malty, accessible profiles suited to blending or everyday drinking. The range of tea types suggests a diversified production line capable of responding to varied market demand, though specific cup profiles will depend on leaf sourcing and processing protocols.
Operator
The facility is operated by Yixian Qingye Tea Farm Co. Ltd – final packing and primary processing. No other estates or facilities under the same operator are currently recorded in the directory, suggesting this may be a standalone operation focused on processing and packing functions rather than a multi-site enterprise.
Certifications & Ethics
The facility holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership, an industry body that promotes improved working conditions and environmental practices across tea supply chains. For buyers, this certification provides third-party verification that the operation has committed to ETP's standards on labour rights, health and safety, and responsible pesticide use. For workers, it signals that the facility has undergone assessment against a recognised framework designed to improve welfare and reduce risk in tea production and processing environments.
