Culture specific advices
By Valley Green Tea
Posted On July 16, 2015
As the direct result of our exclusive connection with the tea industry in China and the culture background, we offer unique advices such as:
- Identify teas by the dry leaves or packages. We have over the years helped many of our customers to identify their teas, should they be a purchase while travelling in China with a package not readable to a non-Chinese speaking consumer; a gift with only Chinese on the package; a tea with packaging already lost etc.
- We have provided exclusive advices to companies wishing to show their hospitality to their Chinese visitor through Chinese teas. The Chinese tea culture has been established over a period of more than 2000 years and the Chinese are to certain degree obsessed about their teas. To show the visitors your familiarity with their culture is a good gesture, to be able to pick the right products makes the icing on the cake.
