Унция золота за унцию чая
Красный и зелёный чай одного происхождения из Цзишоу, провинция Хунань — зарегистрированное географическое указание КНР с опубликованным содержанием аминокислот 7,8 %, примерно вдвое выше, чем у сопоставимых сортотипов. Мы законтрактовываем весь годовой урожай садов, с которыми работаем, поэтому каждая партия прослеживается до участка и дня сбора.

Terroir & ecology
Туман, высота и гора, которая решает, каким будет чай
Сады расположены на высоте 500–800 метров в горах Улин, на склонах, которые бо́льшую часть весны находятся в облаках. Этот туман — не декорация: рассеянный свет замедляет развитие листа настолько, что он накапливает ту концентрацию аминокислот, которой известно это происхождение.

Since the Qin
Унция золота, запись 1539 года
Долгая задокументированная история и почти полное отсутствие экспортной. Этот чай никогда не создавался под рынок — он просто то, что рождают эти горы, и лишь теперь он их покидает.
Geographical Indication
Охраняемое наименование, а не рекламный тезис
Сянсийский золотой чай защищён в Китае как сертификационный знак географического указания, регистрационный № 15887938; знак держится по поручению властей округа, а его действительность при оспаривании подтвердил Высший народный суд Пекина. Наименование закреплено за чаем, выращенным и переработанным в восьми единицах уездного уровня Сянси, где Цзишоу — основной производственный район.

Подробнее →Why this origin
Почему закупщики выбирают это происхождение
A name protected in EU law
“Xiangxi Golden Tea” is a registered geographical-indication certification mark (No. 15887938), and its validity was upheld on challenge by the Beijing High People’s Court. For a buyer, that is not a marketing claim to evaluate — it is a register to check.
A composition figure you can verify
7.8% amino acids, roughly twice comparable cultivars from the same harvest period. It is a laboratory number, reproducible on your own sample, and it is the compositional reason behind the sweetness and low astringency in the cup.
Whole-garden contracts, not spot buying
We contract the full annual output of the gardens we buy from. That is why we can commit volume ahead of a season, and why every lot traces to a plot and a picking date rather than to a market floor.
Documentation treated as part of the product
Certificate of analysis, certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate ship with the goods. EU multi-residue testing under Regulation (EC) 396/2005 is run before shipment, because that is where Chinese tea most often gets held.
Traceable to plot and picking date
Every lot carries a garden reference, altitude, cultivar, picking date and batch number. This is the thing large trading houses structurally cannot offer.
Documentation shipped as standard
Certificate of analysis, certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate travel with the goods. Multi-residue screening is run before shipment, not on request.
Honest about what we do not do ourselves
Instant powder and personal care are contract-manufactured at partner facilities under our specification. We say so on the product pages, and we will arrange audit access.
A price ladder, not one price
Micro-lots at 5 kg through to commercial grades at 300 kg. A single supplier relationship covers both a premium shelf line and a volume programme.

Process
От сада до контейнера
Шесть контролируемых этапов, документируемых по каждой партии.
- 01
Withering 萎凋
Fresh leaf is spread on trays for 12–16 hours to reduce moisture and make the leaf pliable enough to roll without tearing. Humidity and airflow are controlled; over-withering costs aroma, under-withering costs the roll.
- 02
Rolling 揉捻
The withered leaf is rolled in three stages of increasing pressure. Rolling ruptures the cell walls, releasing the enzymes and substrates that drive oxidation, and gives the finished leaf its twist.
- 03
Oxidation 发酵
The rolled leaf rests in a humidity- and temperature-controlled room. This is the step that makes black tea black: polyphenols convert to theaflavins and thearubigins, and the leaf turns from green to copper. Timing is judged by aroma and colour, not by clock alone.
- 04
Drying 干燥
Hot-air drying halts oxidation at the chosen point and brings moisture down to a storable level. Done too fast the leaf case-hardens; done too slow the profile drifts.
- 05
Sorting & refiring 精制筛分
The dried tea is screened by size, winnowed to remove fibre and stem, and refired to final moisture. Grade separation happens here — Imperial, Premium, Commercial and teabag cut all come off the same sorting line.
- 06
Quality control & packing 审评与包装
Every batch is cupped against retained reference samples and sampled for residue analysis. Cleared batches are packed into foil-lined cartons with lot number and production date, then palletised.
