One box to start your Zhenghe White Tea journey, featuring four classic varieties from elegant to mellow, all in one collection.
Zhenghe County, Fujian Province, is located in the hilly mountainous area of northern Fujian with an average altitude of about 800 meters. It is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese white tea. Local tea production history dates back to the late Tang and early Song dynasties, and it was the core production area of Beiyuan Tribute Tea during the Song Dynasty. In the fifth year of the Zhenghe era of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (1115 AD), the county was bestowed with the era name 'Zhenghe' due to its tribute of white tea. Thus, the tea name and the place name reflect each other's glory.
