Solidarity Trust Updates: Working directly with tea communities: profit sharing and beyond

Tea from Trusted Hands

We of the One River Tea Cooperative believe in following the leaf, from bush to brew, we visit every farm, meeting and eating with everyone that plays a part in making the teas we sell.  We invite you to see the farms, meet the makers, watch the process, and know the most about your tea!

Master Wei

High in the mountains outside the Phoenix Village, Master Wei cultivates and produces serveral varieties of Dancong oolong. As a farmer turned producer, he has an intimate understanding of growing, picking, and roasting tea

Fuding White Tea

Obssessed with quality from field to production to storage, our friends in Fuding carry some of the best white tea we have ever tasted

Liao Xulin

Born into the ninth generation of a tea family high in the phoenix mountains behind Wudong Shan, Liao Xulin carefully processes over 100 different types of dancong oolongs, hard roasting them slowly every summer

Keosuyaping Family

Laos Gushu Green Puer and Black Shaihong. Located in the extreme North of Laos, roughly 30 kilometers from the border with Yunnan, the Keosuyaping Family have a grove of 400-year-old trees that they’ve been tending for generations.

Tea starts here, in the fields, with the pickers, the farmers, the producers

We are committed to knowing as much as we can about each of the farms we work with.  We visit every farm, spend time with the producers, talk with the pickers, ask about farming techniques and local histories.
