Product Knowledge

Understand the tea before you choose the lot.

Use these six application-led guides to compare product roles, cup direction, evaluation priorities, packaging questions, and the next commercial decision.

Use these guides for

Early product comparison and brief preparation. Final origin, grade, lot, reports, availability, price and shipping scope are confirmed against the selected option.

Six Product Directions

Go directly to the product you are considering.

Each guide leads back to a product page and a pre-selected Product Brief.

01 · Flagship Application Tea

Chinese Matcha

Do not select matcha by a vague grade name alone. Select it by the job it must perform: stay visible in milk, remain present in bakery, or deliver a refined straight-whisked cup.

Evaluate: colour in the actual recipe, bitterness, aroma, texture, dosage, sediment, processing performance and pack barrier.

Ask before ordering: which lot was sampled, how it is packed, what product information is available, and whether the same direction is available for a pilot.

02 · Hengzhou, Guangxi

Jasmine Green Tea

A jasmine tea decision combines the flower aroma with the quality of the green-tea base. For hospitality and cold service, clarity, balance and aroma retention matter as much as first-opening fragrance.

Evaluate: scent clarity, base-tea smoothness, liquor colour, bitterness, hot/cold performance and aroma after normal handling.

Ask before ordering: scenting or ingredient description, lot information, pack barrier, brewing guidance and destination documents.

03 · Wellness & Low-Caffeine

Chinese White Tea

White tea is chosen for minimal processing, low caffeine and a softer wellness-led cup. For ageing, wellness lattes and functional bases, bud grade, origin, storage and lot documents matter as much as aroma.

Evaluate: bud or leaf grade, aroma, liquor colour, caffeine position, ageing potential, selenium documentation where claimed, and pack barrier.

Ask before ordering: which direction (Silver Needle, Aged, Selenium-Rich) was sampled, lot information, available reports, pack format and destination documents.

04 · Premium Green Tea

Zhejiang Longjing

The name alone does not define the product. Origin direction, picking standard, processing, storage and freshness determine the leaf appearance, aroma and premium position.

Evaluate: flat-leaf appearance, aroma, cup clarity, sweetness, bitterness, freshness and consistency with the stated grade.

Ask before ordering: exact origin wording, harvest and grade definition, storage, available reports, protective pack and replacement-lot process.

05 · Wellness Routine

Functional Tea

Functional tea is a wellness-routine blend, not a product claim. Choose it by the routine it supports (evening calm, daytime metabolism, after-meal balance), the base tea, the botanicals, and the compliance framing for your market.

Evaluate: base tea (often low-caffeine white or green), added botanicals, taste balance, caffeine position, routine fit, and the permitted education framing in the destination market.

Ask before ordering: which routine blend was sampled, botanical and allergen information, lot documents, pack format, and the compliant claim language available for your market.

06 · Personalized Tea Gift

Floral Gift Blend

A gift blend is chosen for the recipient and occasion, then confirmed through a clear ingredient, aroma, taste, presentation and delivery scope.

Evaluate: known ingredients, aroma, cup character, dry-leaf appearance, brewing ease and fit with the recipient.

Ask before ordering: final ingredient and allergen information, personalization text, pack contents, approval point, price and delivery timing.
