Grown and made where rock tea comes from.
Kings Tea (Qingshenge) is a producer, not a trader. Since January 2004 it has grown, processed and roasted its tea at its own gardens and factory in Huangbai Village, Wuyishan, Fujian — about 2 km from the northern boundary of the Mount Wuyi scenic area, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999.

From our garden to your cup, in our hands.
Tea can pass through several hands between the garden and the shop. Ours is grown, made and checked by one company, in one place.
We grow
About 600 mu (around 40 hectares) of our own gardens. Our certified organic garden, Huanglongshan No. 1, covers 10.53 hectares.
We make
Withering, shaking, firing, rolling and charcoal roasting all happen at our own factory, which holds an organic processing certificate in our name.
We taste and grade
Every batch is cupped by the team that made it, recorded with a lot number and graded before it is packed.
What buying from the producer means
- The certificates and test reports are in the name of the company that made the tea.
- A lot can be traced back to the garden and the batch it came from.
- Questions about harvest, roast and storage go to the people who did the work.
Our own gardens are not our only source: some leaf comes from partner growers who farm to our standards. If a tea's garden or certification matters to you, ask about that specific lot — we will tell you.
Rock, mist and slow-growing leaf.
