Terroir & Climate
At 478 metres elevation and positioned at approximately 29.75°N latitude in Hunan Province, the estate occupies a mid-elevation site in a region known for substantial tea cultivation. Estates at this altitude in central China typically experience a temperate to subtropical climate with distinct seasonal variation, and the elevation generally moderates temperature extremes whilst maintaining adequate moisture levels during the growing season. Such conditions tend to support steady vegetative growth without the pronounced dormancy or stress that higher-altitude sites might impose.
Hunan's topography and latitude typically yield a growing environment with warm, humid summers and relatively mild winters, and the province's tea-growing areas often benefit from mist and rainfall distributed across the spring and summer flush periods. At this mid-hill elevation, the diurnal temperature range is usually less dramatic than in high-mountain gardens, and leaf development tends to proceed at a moderate pace, which can favour the production of a range of tea styles from the same plant material.
Tea Produced
Tian Luoping Tea Co., Ltd. produces green, oolong, and black teas, indicating processing infrastructure capable of diverse oxidation and firing protocols. Green teas from mid-elevation Hunan estates often exhibit a rounded, vegetal character with moderate astringency, whilst oolong production at this latitude and altitude typically yields teas with floral or fruity notes and a medium body. Black teas from similar terroir tend toward malty or slightly sweet profiles without the pronounced briskness of high-grown Assam-type leaf, though cup character will ultimately depend on cultivar selection, plucking standard, and processing detail not specified in available records.
Operator
The estate is operated by Tian Luoping Tea Co., Ltd., the same entity that holds the property. No other estates operated by this company have been recorded in trade directories, suggesting a single-site operation or a privately held enterprise without publicly documented sibling holdings.
