In short: Martin Bauer Plant Extracts (China) Co., Ltd. is a tea estate in Zhejiang, China, operated by Martin Bauer Plant Extracts (China) Co., Ltd. and certified by the Ethical Tea Partnership.
Martin Bauer Plant Extracts (China) Co., Ltd. is a tea estate operating in Zhejiang province, China, at an elevation of approximately 7 metres above sea level. The estate is managed by Martin Bauer Plant Extracts (China) Co., Ltd., a company known for botanical extract production. The site holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership.
Terroir & Climate
At just 7 metres above sea level, this Zhejiang estate occupies a low-altitude position within a province that spans a wide elevational range. Sites at such low elevations in coastal eastern China typically experience a relatively humid, subtropical climate with warm summers and mild winters. The growing season in this latitude and elevation band generally begins earlier in the spring than in higher-altitude districts, and the warmer temperatures tend to accelerate vegetative growth.
Low-lying estates in Zhejiang often benefit from fertile alluvial soils and good water availability, though they may experience less of the diurnal temperature variation that higher sites enjoy. The climate at this elevation generally favours vigorous flush cycles, and producers in similar settings often focus on volume and consistency rather than the more complex aromatics that cooler, higher-altitude gardens can develop.
Tea Produced
The estate produces green, oolong, and black teas. Zhejiang is historically known for green tea production, and estates in the province typically yield teas with a bright, vegetal character. Black teas from lower-altitude sites in this region tend to offer straightforward, malty profiles, while oolongs can range from lightly oxidised, floral styles to darker, more robust expressions. The warm growing conditions at 7 metres generally promote leaf that is full-bodied and suitable for blending or extract applications.
Operator
The estate is operated by Martin Bauer Plant Extracts (China) Co., Ltd., a company active in the botanical and plant extract sector. No other estates operated by this company are currently recorded in this directory.
Certifications & Ethics
The estate holds certification from the Ethical Tea Partnership, an industry body that works to improve social and environmental conditions on tea farms. Membership requires adherence to a code covering labour rights, health and safety, and environmental stewardship, with independent monitoring intended to provide assurance to buyers that baseline standards are being met on the ground.
