About us

Valley Green Tea is based in Sydney, Australia. The business was started by EnJie, who grew up in the Fujian province of China, famous for its Oolong (Wulong), white tea and green tea production. She is supported in the business by her Australian born husband – Peter.

Whilst now based in Australia, EnJie is connected to the tea industry back in China via family and friends that support our business. She visits the region and her tea producers regularly.

Our passion involves sharing the enjoyment and culture associated with authentic Chinese tea. We sell our teas on-line, over the phone or by mail, at selected fairs we attend and through selected shops, restaurants and health clubs.

We are unashamedly biased in our opinion that China, being the ancient birthplace of tea, still offers the best teas to the world. Many may imitate, but the Chinese still do it best. It is not that hard to grow a tea plant. It is a lot harder to know how to grow tea under the right conditions, when and how to harvest, treat, store and package to present a pure tea with subtle distinctions in flavour and after taste. Within tea producing regions of China, tricks of the tea trade are closely guarded.

This is why countries and growers new to tea production generally flavour teas with exotic combinations of flowers, fruits additives etc. It makes sense to cover the lack of refinement in the basic tea manufacturing process with some novelty factor. We on the other hand are purists, who prefer to let the characteristics of the best teas in the world speak for themselves.
