About
Eastern Leaves owns a forest tea plantation in Nannuo and Pasha Mountains, which flourishes naturally in the undergrowth of a centuries-old Yunnan high mountain forest.
We interfere as little as possible with the growth of our trees, trying to preserve the original thriving environment that surrounds them: this is the reason we call ourselves wild forest keepers rather than farmers.
Farmed, produced and pressed by Eastern Leaves
Our production
We take care of each leg of the production of our teas, from the forest care untill distribution and signature packaging.
We produce Pu'er shengpu, shupu, Dianhong red tea and Yueguagnbai white tea, all of them available in different formats and vintages.
The best Chinese terroir
Tea and teaware selection
Besides our production, season after season we carefully select small batches of other teas from like-minded producers, with whom we have developed a long-term relationship.
These teas are often prized in the Chinese most important tea fairs, and guaranteed by our expertise and passion.
About teaware, we provide our wholesale clients a customized sourcing according to your needs, selected among our trusted artisans and workshops.
In 2019, after a decade spent as tea scholars and producers, our founder Vivian Zhang decided to start her own educational program in cooperation with the Chinese National Tea Academy.
