Terroir & Climate
At 137 metres above sea level, this facility sits in the lower elevations typical of tea-growing zones in Huangshan City, a region historically associated with the production of Keemun black tea. Estates at this latitude and altitude in Anhui Province generally experience a humid subtropical climate with distinct seasons, which tends to support a growing season that runs from early spring through autumn. Lower-elevation sites such as this typically benefit from warmer temperatures that can encourage vigorous flush cycles, though they may also face higher pest pressure compared to mountain gardens.
The Huangshan region's terroir is generally shaped by its proximity to the Huangshan mountain range and the influence of the Yangtze River basin, which tends to bring ample rainfall and mist during the growing months. Soils in this part of Anhui are often acidic and well-drained, conditions that typically favour the cultivation of Camellia sinensis var. sinensis, the varietal most commonly grown in China. While elevation and aspect vary widely across Huangshan City, estates at similar altitudes often produce teas with robust body and the capacity for oxidative processing into darker styles.
Tea Produced
This facility produces green, oolong, and black teas. Estates in the Huangshan region operating at comparable elevations typically yield black teas with malty, slightly sweet characteristics and a smooth body—traits long associated with Keemun-style production. Green teas from lower-altitude Anhui sites tend to offer a fresher, more vegetal cup, while oolongs produced in the region generally fall on the lighter end of the oxidation spectrum, often displaying floral and grassy notes. The diversity of tea types indicates processing flexibility, though the cup profile of any given lot will depend on cultivar selection, plucking standard, and factory technique.
