Brand Story
Anhui Orchid Tea originates from the tea-producing region of Anhui, where tea culture has flourished since ancient times. The Tang Dynasty classic 'The Classic of Tea' by Lu Yu already documented tea affairs in Anhui, and during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Hui tea gained fame both domestically and internationally. Orchid tea, prized for its unique orchid fragrance, has been crafted since the Qing Dynasty when tea farmers began scenting tea leaves with orchid blossoms. The enterprise inherits ancient methods while integrating modern techniques, adhering to the motto 'Tea quality mirrors character.' Though the exact founding year and founder remain unrecorded, every leaf carries the spirit of Huizhou's landscapes and the craftsmanship of its people, making it a living heritage of Hui tea culture.
“Orchid fragrance in every leaf, craftsmanship passed down through generations.”

Cultural Note
The craft of making orchid tea emphasizes 'tea leading the fragrance, flowers enhancing the flavor.' Through a process of scenting, tea leaves absorb the orchid's aroma, involving steps such as preparing the tea base, picking fresh flowers, mixing and scenting, ventilating to cool, and re-firing. This meticulous process takes days and relies on the artisan's experience, reflecting the wisdom and dedication of Huizhou tea makers.
