Shenghuan Factory

Feng and He, a tea growing and processing couple from Zhenghe County’s Tieshan Township, provide a glimpse into what reinvigorated Fuding tea production might look like.

These last two years(2024-2025), precisely as the white tea market crashed, they have prospered. Feng grew up a tea farmer with his parents and has since spent most of his adult life operating excavators, a trade he still carries on for the better half of each year. He took over some abandoned tea fields from her aunt who had long ago moved to Shanghai for work, and convinced her husband to help her make a variety of strange teas

Combining this diverse skill-set with the mishmash of local cultivars and high elevation tea fields that were abandoned for their short picking season, and they have all they need to make dozens and dozens of experimental teas, some of which are quite good. They accept lower yield and sell small limited quantities of their teas directly to fans online
