Tea Sourcing Chronicles

A journey from Hangzhou tea fields to misty mountain heights

The story of 青竹茶社 began in Hangzhou in 2016. Driven by a devotion to a cup of clean, pure tea, we ventured into high-altitude mountain forests at elevations over 1,000 meters. From microclimates and slope orientation to soil minerals, we sought out terroirs where tea bushes grow naturally. Over the years, we have maintained rigorous sourcing, respected time-honored craft, and embraced modern aesthetics—bringing the calm of mountain tea into everyday spaces.
