About Shang Tea

Shang Tea Company was founded by its owner Zehua Shang.  Shang is a native of China. Having grown up in China, he has an appreciation and knowledge for fine teas as well as for the rich history of tea that dates back thousands of years.  After moving to the United States in 2000, he saw the opportunity to share part of his culture that has been benefiting the health of his people for centuries.

Shang welcomes you to try his award winning teas. Our white, red, and jasmine teas are gold prize winners of the annual White Tea Contest held in Fujian Province. Our high quality teas create a whole new experience for the tea lovers or even the newcomers to tea.

What makes Shang Tea so good ?

All our teas come from Shang and his good friend’s very own tea field in the high mountains of Fujian Province, China. What makes these loose leaf teas truly superior in flavor and quality is the beautiful climate in which the tea plants are grown. High altitude on the mountain and close to the Pacific Ocean, the tea plants flourish under the ideal climatic conditions.  This tea field not only produces superior tea, but is a beautiful landscape of rolling green tea fields, far removed from the metropolitan areas.  To get to this tea field, we have to drive 45 minutes up on the mountain top, then has to walk 30 minutes on a small path to which opens up to a scenic, beautiful horizon high on the mountain.
