SavvyTea brings you authentic whole‑leaf Chinese tea grown on our own family‑run farm in Ya’an, Sichuan. Many of our tea trees are centuries old, passed down through generations and nurtured using traditional methods that honour the land and its heritage.

Our Heritage

Nestled on the misty slopes of Mengding Mountain, our tea garden sits in one of China’s oldest and most celebrated tea‑producing regions. The mountain mists, fertile soil, and the nearby Qingyi River create a unique microclimate that has supported exceptional tea cultivation for more than a thousand years.

Our Family’s Tea Tradition

🍃 Single Heritage Harvest

For generations, our family has tended these ancient tea gardens, caring for trees that are in some cases more than a century old. Every spring, we hand‑pick the tender buds that form the heart of our craft.

We focus on one exceptional tea: Mengding Ganlu Green Tea. This is not a mass‑produced commodity — it is our family’s own harvest, crafted using time‑honoured techniques passed down through generations. By offering only this single heritage tea, we honour our roots and ensure every sachet reflects the purity, craftsmanship, and tradition that define our family’s tea‑making legacy.

Signature Heritage Tea

Mengding Ganlu (蒙顶甘露)

We specialise in Mengding Ganlu Green Tea (蒙顶甘露), one of China’s top ten famous green teas. Literally meaning “Sweet Dew of Mengding”, this premium early‑spring green tea is made from the youngest, downy buds grown on the historic slopes of Mengding Mountain in Ya’an, Sichuan. Crafted using the traditional “three pan‑fry, three hand‑roll” technique, it is celebrated for its delicate curled leaves, fresh orchid‑like aroma, smooth and naturally sweet taste, and a clean, refreshing finish that lingers gently.
