Main business
The official company introduction connects tea research and product development with production, processing, technology services and international trade. The product catalog is particularly useful for understanding the business: it separates tea styles and lists coded products for trade inquiries. Both domestic and international contact channels are provided on the company website.
Main products and their characteristics
| Gunpowder green tea | Tea rolled into compact pellets. The official catalog displays a 3505AA example with a photograph of the dry leaves. |
|---|---|
| Chunmee green tea | A curved-leaf green-tea style, offered as a separate catalog direction from gunpowder tea. |
| Longjing and Huibai | Two named green-tea directions within the broader product range. Confirm origin and specification for each order. |
| Oolong and steamed green tea | Additional catalog categories showing that the range extends beyond rolled export green teas. |
Reading the export-style catalog
Codes such as 3505AA, 3505AAA, 41022AAA and 9371AAA appear in the official product listings. They help identify items for an inquiry, but they are not universal quality guarantees across all tea manufacturers. A useful request includes the code together with a sample, leaf appearance, packing format and required specification. The 3505AA photograph reproduced here comes from a catalog page dated 2011 and is presented as a catalog example.
Gunpowder and Chunmee describe recognizable leaf styles; neither name alone settles cup quality or a current purchase price. For Longjing, the product name also does not by itself establish West Lake origin. The company’s official catalog and contact channels are the starting point for checking the particular tea, rather than treating every tea in the range as having the same provenance or certification.
