From the Estate
“Once a leaf leaves the rolling pan, the clock starts. Fourteen days to the customer, no matter where they are in the world — that is the only promise that matters. Anything older is a different tea than the one my grandfather drank that morning.”
Li Mei Fourth-generation proprietor, Xinglongju Tea Estate
