Acerca de Sandao

A good cup of tea starts a conversation. Sandao brings together Chinese tea, traditional teaware and the stories behind them, helping people around the world find pieces they will enjoy using, sharing and giving.

Chinese tea and teaware, with a story to tell

Sandao is a platform for discovering Chinese culture through everyday objects. Our interests range from teas grown across China to Yixing purple clay teapots, Jingdezhen porcelain, Ru-style ceramics and gold and silver teaware. Some pieces are made for a quiet daily brew; others invite a closer look at the maker's technique, the decoration or the history of the form.

Clay has its own warmth and texture. Porcelain offers a different kind of lightness, while a soft celadon glaze or a carefully worked metal surface can change the whole character of a tea table. We want to make those details easier to understand, whether you are choosing your first Chinese Yixing teapot, looking for a gift or sourcing teaware for a business.

Our company: Shanghai Songpin Tea Co., Ltd.

Sandao is operated by Shanghai Songpin Tea Co., Ltd., established in 2007 and based in Shanghai, China. The company's business covers tea, teaware, cultural products and international trade. Its technical, management and export teams work with specialist suppliers to connect product selection, processing, packaging and customer service.

We work through a network of tea growers, processing businesses and teaware makers. The tea gardens and production facilities pictured in our company materials belong to our partners. They are part of our sourcing relationships and are not presented as property owned by Sandao or Shanghai Songpin Tea Co., Ltd.

Tea from China's growing regions

Our company profile describes sourcing and processing partnerships in Anhui, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Fujian, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guizhou. These regions offer a broad range of growing conditions, tea-making traditions and tastes. The tea range covers green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong, pu-erh, other dark teas and scented teas.

Traditional tea-making knowledge is supported by the equipment and handling appropriate to each product. The production and packing capabilities described in our supplier materials include tea processing equipment, automatic can sealing, digital printing, tea-testing instruments and temperature-controlled fresh-storage systems. The available specification and packaging are confirmed for the tea being ordered.

Production network described in our company profile

The supplied company profile reports an associated production site of approximately 3,000 square meters and a tea-garden partner network totaling around 85,000 mu (approximately 5,667 hectares). Within that network, more than 8,000 mu (approximately 533 hectares) are described as having Chinese, EU and US organic tea and processing certification.

These figures describe the network in the company profile. They do not mean that every tea is certified organic or that the land and facilities are company-owned. For a certified tea purchase, ask us to confirm the applicable supplier, product, certificate and supporting documents before ordering.

Teaware from specialist making centers

Our teaware sourcing relationships include Yixing in Jiangsu, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, Dali in Yunnan and Dehua in Fujian. These places bring different materials, forms and working traditions to the table. We discuss a product's origin, specifications and finish with the relevant supplier instead of treating every Chinese tea pot as interchangeable.

Looking closely matters. A lid, a pour, a carved line or the feel of a handle can tell you more than a grand description. We support product conversations with photographs, dimensions and, where available, videos of the particular piece. Maker attributions, materials and provenance should always be checked against the information supplied for that item.

Culture, visits and exchange

Sandao's purpose extends beyond a product catalog. Cultural introductions, exhibition visits and conversations about kiln firing help explain how tea vessels are made and why they look the way they do. We share that knowledge through our tea and teaware guides, alongside practical information about choosing, brewing and caring for a vessel.

Support for individual buyers and trade customers

We welcome everyday tea drinkers, collectors, gift buyers and businesses. The company's background materials describe six product groups, more than 80 product lines and a sales network reaching Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Americas and more than 40 countries and regions. The same materials report annual import and export activity of up to US$10 million across affiliated businesses; that figure describes the wider businesses in the profile, rather than Sandao website sales.

Our sales team's background includes a decade of practical tea-export experience. Depending on the project, support can include:

• Product explanations, selection and market-focused recommendations.
• Tea and teaware sourcing for retail, hospitality, gifting and business procurement.
• Packaging, customization proposals and introductions to new products.
• Product photographs and available video, with specifications clarified before confirmation.
• Shipping updates, order communication and help with after-sales questions.

Customization, quantities, lead times and destination requirements are agreed for each project. Tell us what you need, and we can work through the practical details together.

International orders, reviewed before payment

We accept inquiries from customers around the world for tea and teaware. Before confirming a purchase, we check availability, the destination, any relevant product-entry requirements, protective packaging and delivery options. A quotation separates the product amount, shipping charge and taxes collected by us, in US dollars.

Shipping and payment availability depend on the destination and the order. Our terms of sale, shipping and delivery policy, returns, refunds and shipping damage policy y payment policy explain the arrangements.
