purechinatea was first established in 2011,
And throughout all those long years I have been exploring:
the best tea regions, farms, trees, and producers.
I set out again as soon as I get home from the trip before,
Sometimes through burgeoning exhaustion.

The undulating tea mountains,
Smooth blue sky,
Thin cool fog,
All linger on your breath and fill you with the experience.
The idea of a simple tea farmer
Always seemed attractive to me,
So time and again I traveled so far to visit them.
These places
Seem like private retreats from the rest of the world,
And I would like to bring all of these feelings to you.
Videos and Pictures can't fully capture it:
Only the tea itself can.

The finest teas are produced in China.
Many known brands buy tea from wholesalers,
Mark their own label atop,
and sell abroad.
The grower is not recognized,
While the brand makes great sales with widespread advertisement.
I don't want to be like these brands.
I only want to bring you the finest teas I experience.

To taste a good tea
I would first visit the garden,
Taste is one side;
The best tea garden, the best water, the best tea farmers, all won't make a bad product.
I know purechinatea will not become a household name.

My husband, Chris, also my partner,
Sometimes would laugh at me,
Since all earnings are spent on more trips to further discover great tea.
In return I would say:
"Why don't you talk about upgrading your camera?"
We visit the tea gardens together.
I taste the teas, and he takes the photos.
I bring back samples; I taste them; he photographs them.
We have an agreement,
Where purechinatea will be our career until we retire.

I explore all the finest teas and bring them to you,
So that you, in exchange, can appreciate truly good tea.
That's what I desire.
