Terroir & Climate
At 128 metres elevation and positioned at approximately 28.8°N latitude, the estate occupies a low-altitude site in a region where subtropical conditions typically prevail. Estates at this elevation in eastern China often experience warmer growing temperatures and a longer active growing season than higher-altitude counterparts, which can promote vigorous vegetative growth and earlier spring flushes.
The lower elevation generally results in a faster growth cycle, and the warmer ambient conditions can favour the development of certain catechin and polyphenol profiles. Tea plants at such altitudes tend to produce leaf that is robust and suited to processing styles requiring full oxidation or minimal intervention, though the specific soil composition and microclimate of any given site will modulate these tendencies.
Tea Produced
The estate produces green, oolong, and black teas. Low-altitude estates in this latitude band often yield teas with a straightforward, full-bodied character; green teas from such sites can display vegetal, slightly sweet notes, while oolongs may range from lightly oxidised and floral to darker and more roasted, depending on processing choices. Black teas from lower elevations in China's eastern provinces tend toward malty, smooth profiles with moderate astringency, though individual processing and cultivar selection will influence the final cup.
Operator
Zhejiang Tea Group Co., Ltd. operates this estate. The company is responsible for four other estates recorded in our directory, indicating a multi-site production footprint within the region.
Certifications & Ethics
The estate holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership, a multi-stakeholder initiative that monitors labour standards, environmental practices, and community welfare on certified estates. For buyers, ETP certification provides third-party assurance that the estate is subject to regular audits against the partnership's code of conduct; for workers, it is intended to promote safer working conditions, fair treatment, and access to grievance mechanisms.
