Question 1

What is Ancient Tree (Gushu) tea and why does it cost more than ordinary tea?

Accepted Answer

Gushu tea is picked from tea trees, often over a century old, that grow wild in forest ecosystems in Lincang and Pu'er rather than on cultivated plantations. Their deep root systems and slow growth at 1,600-2,600m elevation concentrate flavour compounds that large-leaf plantation tea cannot replicate, which is why Gushu tea commands a premium in the wholesale market.

Question 2

Can you supply tea with EU or US FDA-compliant pesticide residue testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every export batch is tested against EU maximum residue limits and US FDA thresholds, with lab reports and food-safety documentation supplied ahead of shipment to support customs clearance.

Question 3

Do you offer OEM/ODM private label and custom packaging?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer loose-leaf bulk wholesale, custom private-label packaging (OEM/ODM), and curated gift-tea sets, built around your brand specification and minimum order quantity.
