Main business
The official introduction describes a system connecting production, quality checks, packing, warehousing and sales. Its Tonglu central factory began operating in 2017. The company also presents a digital Longjing manufacturing facility and the Longwu West Lake Longjing Sunshine Factory Store. The latter combines a production setting with a visitor and retail experience, while the Tonglu tea-culture museum adds an educational element.
Main products and their characteristics
| EFUTON / 艺福堂 | The main everyday-tea brand, with Longjing and a broader catalog of leaf teas and blends. |
|---|---|
| Chadu / 茶都 | A brand focused on higher-end West Lake Longjing. The catalog includes a pre-Qingming special-grade Fangyuan 120 g gift product. |
| Weng Long Sheng / 翁隆盛 | A Longjing heritage brand with a tea-house history that the company traces to 1729; this is separate from EFUTON’s 2008 founding. |
| Yaji and Yimei | Yaji centers on teaware design; Yimei covers herbal blends and related drinks. These categories serve different needs from plain leaf tea. |
Choosing Longjing within the EFUTON range
The catalog separates products labeled West Lake Longjing from more general Longjing products. The distinction matters: Longjing is a broader tea name, while West Lake adds a specific origin claim. Compare the individual label, harvest information, grade and net weight. The company’s EFU numerical grading is its own system, rather than a national grading standard shared by all tea producers.
White tea and other tea styles broaden the catalog beyond green tea: one displayed example is a 2023 Fuding Silver Needle gift product. The company also lists TEEKANNE as a strategic partner. A partnership is different from ownership, so that name is not grouped here as an EFUTON-owned brand. Product availability and brand arrangements should be checked through the current official channels.
