Heritage Strings & Arts Chinese Tea

Background

There are 7 different classes of Chinese Tea, and they are differentiated by their processing methods into

Green Tea (绿茶)
White Tea (白茶)
Yellow Tea (黄茶)
Oolong Tea (青、乌龙茶)
Red/“Black” Tea (红茶)
Dark/Brick Tea (黑茶)
Pu-er (普洱茶)

At Heritage Strings & Arts, we sell a selection of tea from each of the classifications above. As tea is seasonal, the availability of our tea depends on both its demand and season that we are in. We have also taken the extra step to only purchase our teas from tea plantations that are recognised and approved as core production areas by the government of China.
