Why Chinese Tea
By Valley Green Tea
Posted On September 10, 2013

China is the ancient birthplace of all teas. The culture of its tea production and consumption has been developed over a history of more than 2000 years. The spectrum of Chinese tea is broad, from the unfermented green tea to the fully fermented black tea, with hundreds of varieties in each family.
Call it passion or obsession, the Chinese tea drinkers accept only the best. The process starts from cultivating the tea plants (or simply harvesting the tea leaves from wild grown tea bushes or tea trees), to the processes of the tea making, accessories used to brew the teas and the tea brewing process, every detail and step is fine tuned and perfected.
We unashamedly believe, and this is affirmed by many tea experts around the world, that China has only the best to offer.
