Pinestone Tea not only offers the consumer the satisfaction of making and drinking authentic Chinese teas at home but also the knowledge of where it has been grown and picked. Pinestone believes that they have a social responsibility to their tea growers, tea pickers and customers, the tea drinkers. Pinestone is driven by a vision of bringing authentic Chinese teas to the UK market, but they also uphold the following values: Everyone in the tea supply chain deserves to be treated with respect, paid fairly, and afforded good working conditions All tea should be ethically sourced and fully traceable Businesses should make more effort to be fully carbon neutral. Packaging should be recyclable as far as possible with minim use of plastics in our packaging Green tea is a beverage with proven physical and mental benefits and should be available and enjoyed by many The Pinestone team work with a scheme called the Danzhai Poverty Alleviation Tea Garden in Guizhou province of China, shown in the image above. The scheme addresses unemployment in the tea-growing sector and has established a 1,000-acre tea garden. By sourcing their tea from this scheme, they help to create and sustain jobs. More interestingly, tea plants from this scheme will soon be open to Pinestone Tea customers in the UK to adopt, the details will be announced soon on the Pinestone website. Pinestone Tea varieties can be bought separately or together in a Luxury Green Tea Gift Set from the Pinestone Tea website or Amazon. All orders over £20 have FREE next day delivery. |
100g Jasmine Jasmine is a favourite the world over. The tea is harvested in Zhejiang province in spring but stored carefully until summer when the jasmine flowers are picked and mixed with the tea. The mixing process happens 1000 miles away from Zhejiang in Guangxi. Overnight, the flowers open, infusing the tea with their wonderful fragrance. In the morning they are separated, and the process is then repeated 7-9 times, with new flowers being added each night. £6.99 100g Lung Ching This stunning tea, also known as Dragon Well, is unrivalled in quality and taste experience. It must be produced in the traditional, hand-panned style to bear the world-renowned Lung Ching mark. 18 bushes were granted imperial status during the Qing Dynasty; those trees still exist, and their tea sells for a higher price per gram than gold. £18.99 100g Chun Mee Bringing this tea from the plantation to your pot truly is a labour of love! Also produced by hand, it requires no fewer than ten different hand movements to shape, turn and press the leaves to create the perfect combination of aroma, flavour and colour. Expert handlers, using methods perfected over many generations, meticulously prepare the leaves to produce the highest quality tea. £5.99 To celebrate Mother’s Day, Pinestone Tea is giving away one gift set per week to a lucky winner from now till 14th March, you only need to follow and like Pinestone Tea on Instagram and Facebook, for full details please go to Pinestone Tea website. |
