Eastern Leaves

Eastern Leaves is a project built around the first Yunnannese, untouched mountain peak that the two of us fell in love with. A virgin forest that have never been treated with any chemical substance, nor intensively cultivated or exploited in any way. We bought it. We take care of each leg of the production of our teas, from the forest care untill distribution and signature packaging. Besides our production, season after season we carefully select small batches of other teas from like-minded producers, with whom we have developed a long-term relationship. These teas are often prized in the Chinese most important tea fairs, and are available both in our online shop, for international wholesale and in our tearoom in Milan. In 2019, after a decade spent as tea scholars and producers, our founder Vivian Zhang decided to start her own educational program in cooperation with the Chinese National Tea Academy. We offer courses and masterclasses on Chinese tea, either long-term and one-day tastings online or offline in our tea-room and our tea forest. You will be our welcomed guest all year long either in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, or in our tea-room in Milan, Italy. Contact us anytime at info@easternleaves.com to book a video-call: we will be happy to share a virtual tea together!
