Terroir & Climate
At 193 metres elevation in Zhejiang Province, this estate occupies a relatively low-lying position in a region known for diverse tea production. Zhejiang's subtropical monsoon climate typically brings warm, humid summers and mild winters, with estates at this latitude generally experiencing a growing season that extends from early spring through autumn. The province's rainfall patterns tend to be concentrated in the warmer months, which can influence flush timing and leaf development.
Estates at this elevation in Zhejiang often benefit from valley microclimates and alluvial soils, though specific soil composition and drainage characteristics vary by site. The moderate altitude typically allows for relatively vigorous growth compared to high-mountain gardens, and the temperature range at this elevation generally supports the production of multiple tea types. Zhejiang's position on China's eastern seaboard means that maritime influences can moderate temperature extremes, though the degree of such moderation depends on proximity to the coast and local topography.
Tea Produced
The estate produces green, oolong and black teas, reflecting the versatility that Zhejiang Province's tea-growing conditions typically afford. Green teas from this region often exhibit a balance of vegetal freshness and subtle sweetness, though character varies with cultivar, plucking standard and processing technique. Oolong production in Zhejiang tends to favour lighter oxidation levels, yielding cups with floral or fruity notes, while black teas from the province generally display a smooth, malty profile without the astringency sometimes associated with high-grown origins. Estates at this elevation often produce leaf that is approachable and consistent, suited to both domestic consumption and blending.
Operator
Zhejiang Tea Group operates the estate. The company is a tea enterprise based in Zhejiang Province, though no other estates operated by the group are currently recorded in this directory.
