MingChas premium line products are all single garden non-blended tea of
authentic origins. In order that our customers are well informed of the quality
of their purchase, a batch-relevant seal marks each pack or can with detail
harvest information to supplement what is already quite specific on the
standard labels. Not unlike fine wines, harvest conditions do make their marks
on the taste characters of each batch and therefore this seal is most useful for
the demanding connoisseurs.

At times when just premium is not enough, we provide the rarest or the
most extraordinary. Like the harvest from the oldest tea bush on Mount
Wudong in northern Guangdong. The 4.5 metre tall plant was planted
in the Sung Dynasty (11th to 13th Century A.D.) and is said to have
yielded one of the first oolongs. Its harvest once filled the cup of
Chairman Mao and is thus nicknamed The East is Red by local
farmers. The 2 kilo a year yield now is in extreme demand. The
MingCha premiere release stirred quite a bit of local and international
media coverage. We carry also the production from its second
generation bushes.
For those who are really demanding in the most delicate taste, we
select annually limited yields of the most discerning quality from not-solegendary but most carefully tended mature bushes and release them
with the special attention they deserve under our Leo Kwans Private
Reserve label. One such limited release was selected in 2002 by the
ceremony committee of the Academy Awards for Oscar as the first
ever tea and the first ever Chinese product to be included in the well
talked-about Celebrity Gift Baskets. For those who are really
discriminating in taste, this line of product is the apex of tea.
Please contact MingCha for update details of current year
availability and releases.

Specialist teaware came into being for the need to facilitate the enjoyment of
tea. It is now an important category of artifacts in addition to being a utensil.
MingCha holds a large collection for both the utilitarian as well as the
artistically minded customers. All items are selected for their beauty in quality,
functionality and workmanship. Most items are handcrafted in premium
traditional quality appropriate even for the imperial court. We source our
artisan productions from the best studios in authentic origins of each material
technology, such as underglaze blue china from Jingde, but the utilitarian
wares from modern specialist factories, such as our bone china from Hunnan.
The list of our teaware categories is displayed hereunder, each
representing various materials and styles in expert to collector grades. Please
contact your MingCha distributor for the latest detail catalogue.

yixing teapots
Clay mined in Yixing has always been the finest materials for tea pots. Its
unique microscopic physical properties, when coupled with the highly
specialist pot-making skills developed over the millennium in this region, result
in pots that maximize infusion quality of even the best tea. That is why
specialist pot makers from all over China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are either
imitating the material or buying it all the way from the remote small town.
Genuine quality Yixing teapots are therefore a very special category for
both the demanding connoisseurs as well as the collectors. As the number of
Yixing clay mines decreases due to depletion, the product is seeing an
elevation in value.
MingCha presents this specialized tea making tool in 15 different
grades. All expertly and individually handcrafted in Yixing in the respective
grades of the clay. Some are by well-recognized artists and others by devoted
crafts people working hard to make their marks in this highly specialized area.
Each piece is carefully examined by MingCha experts for its functionality and
the different aspects in craft quality.
Pots of the artist grade or higher are given individual certificates issued
by MingCha. All products come with a simple to follow user guide pamphlet.
POS posters, flip book backgrounder and short biographies of selected artists
and crafts-persons are available. Selected information is also included in our
standard interactive POS computer CD.
