This is where your Wuyi rock tea comes from.We climbed ancient cliffs draped in mist, walked tea fields that have been tended for centuries, and we tasted wuyi rock tea fresh from the source.Every cup we bring you carries this place in it.#wuyishan #wuyirocktea #yancha #chinesetea #hencetea

What does it really take to source great tea?It meant hiking into the forests of Yunnan, where farmers hand-pick every leaf and press it in a wok the same way they always have.We came to source Pu-erh. We stayed to understand it. 🍃#hencetea #puerhtea #yunnan #teafarming #springharvest

What does it really take to source great tea?It meant standing in a Hangzhou tea garden at dawn, watching a master picker move through the rows — two leaves and a bud, every stem. Then the drying. Then the wok, where the master pressed each handful flat by hand and showed us the motion.It is not just learning where Longjing comes from, but why every step exists, and what‘s lost when you skip it.#hencetea #longjingtea #dragonwelltea #teasourcing #teafarming

Spring means one very important thing for us. It’s time to go back to the source.Phoenix Mountain, Guangdong, is the birthplace of Phoenix Dancong, one of China’s most celebrated oolongs. Grown at elevation in the misty peaks, each Dancong varietal carries its own distinct aroma and character, shaped by the land, the season, and the hands that tend it.We love spending time with the farmers who have dedicated their lives to this craft. They wake before dawn, climb the mountain slopes, and pick each leaf by hand. Their dedication is quiet and unwavering, and it humbles us every single time.We are honored to carry their work with us in every cup we share. The tea in your cup begins with them.#dancong #phoenixmountain #oolong #teafarm #hencetea
