Process

How we work — from the bush to your business

One partner across the whole chain, working in the open. Here is how an order moves from a garden in China to a finished product carrying your name — and what we do at each step so you do not have to.

Process

The chain

Six steps, one partner

Each step below can be a starting point on its own — a single wholesale order, a private-label line, or a whole business. Combined, they are the route we run end to end.

  1. 01

    Origin

    Sourcing at the source

    We work directly with the private farms of China and Taiwan that grow the leaf, and buy where it is grown. Removing the chain of traders between the bush and the cup is what keeps both the price and the provenance honest.

    • Direct relationships with the farms that grow the tea
    • Bought at origin, not through a line of intermediaries
    • Chinese tea only — never blends dressed up as something else
  2. 02

    Selection

    Tasting and selection

    Before anything is bought in volume, it is cupped. We select by the leaf in the cup, not the name on the sack — grading for aroma, liquor, and consistency so that what ships is what was tasted.

    • Every lot cupped and graded before purchase
    • Selected on quality, not on label
    • Made-to-order lots for partners with a specific brief
  3. 03

    Production

    Production and private label

    We manufacture your tea line in China under your own trademark. You bring the brief — the blend, the grade, the story — and we build the product around it, from recipe to finished pack, checked at origin before it leaves.

    • Recipe and blend developed to your specification
    • Manufactured under your trademark, exclusive to you
    • Quality controlled at origin, before it ships
  4. 04

    Identity

    Brand and packaging

    Most buyers choose by the visual. We design the identity, naming, and packaging that make your product the one chosen on the shelf — a coherent story that runs from the leaf to the label.

    • Brand identity and naming
    • Packaging designed to be chosen
    • One story, from garden to shelf
  5. 05

    Export

    Export and logistics

    We consolidate the order, prepare the paperwork, and ship worldwide. The complexity of moving tea across borders sits with us — you receive a shipment that is documented, accounted for, and ready to trade.

    • Order consolidated and documented for export
    • Shipped worldwide, tracked to your door
    • The border handled, so you handle the business
  6. 06

    Partnership

    Delivery and the long game

    The relationship does not end at the invoice. We stand by partners through every step — and many who start with a single quality order of leaf go on to build a whole business with us. That repeat trust is the record we work to earn.

    • Support that continues past delivery
    • From a first order to a turnkey brand and franchise
    • A partner you can name, for the long term

Where it comes from

The provinces behind the cup

We source across the Chinese tea belt and Taiwan — each region known for its own classes and methods. The map is schematic, but the relationships behind it are real, garden by garden.
