A company that has the highest quality product control and information available of product origin and rating. just like high end Japanese sake and high end food and beverage. Tea Hong and its owner Leo Kwan is head and shoulders in the Chinese tea world. It is as good as it gets. Truly recommend trying the teas, carefully following instruction in making the best tea infusion possible. The tea alone is not enough to make a great tea experience. Water and its temperature, tea pot, tea cup, technical skill in pouring the water in the tea pot. But most important is the heart and energy of the person while handling the infusion. Tea Hong has taught me all this…

The above was quoted from his book Der Teekultivar, published by Kellner Verlag. Translation: “He cultivates a network of tea farmers who welcome and respect him as one of their own. They value him not only as a buyer but also as an advisor, because the diversity of his relationships allows for comparison, a fundamental prerequisite for assessing quality. He passes on the knowledge gained in this way. Not as a job—he sees it as a calling…”

the very best, without a doubt
I’ve consumed more than 1,000 different teas from over 100 vendors during the past 20+ years, and in my opinion it doesn’t get much better than Tea Hong. Not only is this entire catalog curated and selected to be among the finest teas available anywhere in the world, but the level of detail that goes into both this website and Leo’s other website (Tea Guardian) is a reflection of how passionate Leo is about educating tea drinkers around the world. This entire catalog is curated and selected to be among the finest teas available anywhere in the world – and if you’re looking for Phoenix Mountain oolongs, look no further, Leo has put together the absolute best that any connoisseur could ever wish for.The price to quality ratio is unbeatable and the flavor profiles are exquisite beyond belief. I never knew such gastronomic qualities could be achieved at such reasonable price points… Tea Hong truly is the mecca for Fenghuang oolong. Across the full range of offerings, the attention to subtle nuances is unparalleled. Every tea I have tried is worth every penny, and the information about each tea is worth every second of your time. I am glad to have explored the world of tea through the lens of many different vendors, and found some great ones along the way, but after having discovered Tea Hong, I feel completely and entirely satisfied in my life. I no longer seek out new vendors, and I find myself only buying tea from Leo.I know that, whatever I buy from Tea Hong, it’s going to be mind-numbingly impressive, and I can always count on Leo to offer the very best tea at prices that other vendors could never match. I am happy to be able to support Tea Hong and I think everybody should as well. Even the most discerning and demanding aficionados will find something that will blow their minds no matter what their favorite teas are. For me, personally, that is Fenghuang dancong, and I can say without a doubt there is no better vendor out there.Save your money and do yourself a favor – come and explore the very best collection that anybody could ever dream of and wish for…

all volume.
I bought these because I wanted to have some cups handy for when I brew Chaozhou-style, but I find myself using at least one (if not all three) cups more and more often because they're just so well-crafted.
I love the way the interior of these cups makes the color of the tea pop - particularly with Phoenix and Wuyi oolongs. The effect is really nice, and even with teas which produce darker soups like shu pu'er, the thin brown rim complements the jet-black color really well.
It's very satisfying to drink from these cups. Show Less

is a beautiful plum blossom motif.
Both the interior and exterior are glossy, which draws attention to it even though the color is soft, matte, and subdued. It's clean and won't jump out at you, but it sure will draw your gaze in.
The tip of the spout is utterly flawless, it's perfectly centered and it pours smoothly, with a clean break to the stream. It's difficult to get this one to dribble, even if you're filling up very small cups (20-30mL).
The shape is nice, it holds heat well and retains the aromatics of the tea, which I appreciate because I always sniff the bottom of an empty pitcher between brews.
Very impressed by this - for less than $10 I don't think you can find a better chahai ... and, why would you want to spend more, when you can get this instead? Show Less

ally seek in premium yancha that fits the bill for what a daily drinker should be and do. This might just be a new staple in my stash.
The flavor profile is remarkably concentrated, even a small sip off the opening brew hits the palate with thick and layered flavors, but they never become overbearing, not even as the session progresses and the steep times get longer. The flavors are strong, but restrained, and the texture remains smooth.
The mouthfeel is persistently creamy and silky, and this quality becomes more apparent in the aftertaste which creates a very nice sense of evolution, not only between steeps, but also between sips.
The way this tea finishes is impressive. For the final steep, I push these leaves hard - using water off a freshly rolling boil, pouring high and slow, and then leaving the gaiwan or teapot to cool back down to room temperature before pouring. This usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes roughly, depending on the chosen wares.
This final steep is absolutely stunning - such clear and powerful notes of blackberries and plums, smeared into a paste on a moss-covered rock that is baking in the warmth of the sun on a hot spring day. The minerality is exquisite; and despite the depth and strength of the flavors, the mouthfeel remains entirely free of any sharp edges ... it's so round, so smooth, so yummy. Show Less
