Main business

The company profile describes a chain of activities from tea growing and production to research, storage and marketing. Its garden presentation includes Taimu Mountain, Ruiyun, Bailin and Yanshan. Training and cultural activities extend the business beyond packaged tea, with the Taimu academy and tea-estate settings introducing visitors to the craft and its regional context.

Main products and their characteristics

White tea, storage and the tea-estate setting

The terraced-garden image and Lanzhi tea cake show two sides of the brand: the growing environment and the finished product. The company also presents drying and storage facilities. These are useful details when comparing producers, while the quality of an individual aged white tea still depends on the leaf material, processing and actual storage conditions. A series name alone cannot establish those conditions.

The tea company and the sales operator named in the website footer are kept separate in this profile. Fujian government agriculture and cultural-tourism publications also identify Tianhu and Lvxueya together. Historical stories about Taimu Mountain provide regional context; the modern company’s foundation remains 2000.

Lvxueya(绿雪芽)brand history

The name Lvxueya belongs to the cultural landscape of Taimu Mountain, while the modern Tianhu company dates to 2000. Its published development timeline records a gradual move from tea processing into compressed white tea, aged collections and tea-estate activities.

Year Milestone recorded by the company
2000 Fujian Tianhu Tea Co., Ltd. was established.
2001–2007 Compressed-white-tea research and trials preceded the release of the Hongzi Bing tea-cake collection in 2007.
2008 Participation in white-tea national-standard work.
2012 The 369 aged-white-tea collection was introduced.
2014 The Songya collection brought another approach to loosely compressed white tea.
2023 Completion of phase one of Tianhu Group’s digital and intelligent factory, according to the timeline.

Founders and white-tea craft

The official founding-team page identifies Lin Youxi(林有希) as the founder and a Fujian provincial representative inheritor of Fuding white-tea making, an intangible cultural heritage craft. It introduces Shi Lijun(施丽君) as a co-founder, head of Taimu Academy and founder of the Lvxueya vocational training school, with professional tea-assessment and tea-art qualifications. These roles help explain the brand’s combination of production, tea education and cultural activities.

Growing areas, processing and storage

The company profile names Taimu Mountain, Ruiyun, Bailin and Yanshan among its growing areas. It reports more than 20,000 mu of ecological tea gardens, with the described highland environment at approximately 450–700 metres. These are company-reported figures, rather than a location guarantee for every retail batch.

Lvxueya presents research, processing and storage as connected parts of its business, including production lines and managed warehouses for ageing white tea. For a specific tea, ask about its actual growing area, harvest, drying method and storage history. A photograph of an estate does not establish the origin of every product bearing the brand.

What do Lvxueya’s 369, Lanzhi, Yancha and Yihui mean?

The brand’s product presentation uses 369 to organise aged white tea around stated three-, six- and nine-year storage periods. This is Lvxueya’s collection structure; the numbers should be read alongside the individual product’s label.

Collection Chinese name Stated storage tier
Lanzhi 兰芷 3 years
Yancha 言茶 6 years
Yihui 意会 9 years

The homepage describes White Peony and Shoumei materials within the aged-cake presentation. The wider catalogue also separates aged cakes, aged loose tea and business-sharing formats, with examples including small bricks, dragon pearls, tins and gift boxes. A collection name alone does not specify leaf grade or weight. Displayed 357 g cakes and 234 g gift boxes are examples from different presentations, not a single standard pack size.

Reading an aged-white-tea label: distinguish the leaf harvest or material year from the compression date, packing date and stated storage period. Check whether a product uses a blend. Do not automatically add elapsed years to a collection name and assume the seller guarantees that age today.

First-pick Silver Needle, estate tea and Chuanjiabao

Line How the brand presents it What to compare
First-pick Silver Needle(头採银针) Early-spring bud tea, with hand-picking and charcoal finishing described for the featured products. Harvest date, bud material, drying details and the exact pack weight.
Estate tea(庄园茶) A Taimu Mountain estate collection spanning Silver Needle, White Peony and Shoumei; the presentation names Lin Youxi’s craft supervision. Named estate, tea category, production year and batch.
Chuanjiabao(传家宝) A named collection using selected estate materials and traditional processing, offered across several white-tea categories. Leaf type, storage record and packaging; the name does not guarantee investment value.

See the brand’s first-pick, estate and Chuanjiabao presentations. Its broader catalogue also uses names such as Taimu Zhengshan Bai, Lishang, Diancang, Jinian, Jindian and custom collections.

For a dated view of newer releases, the news archive lists Jinya Yuye · Longzhu, 23 January 2026 and 2026 Heyue, 15 January 2026. Publication dates establish announcements, not current stock or prices.

Taimu tea estate, academy and training school

The Taimu tea-estate presentation brings together ecological gardens, a white-tea culture museum, tasting spaces, Taimu Academy and vocational training. The company dates the estate’s development to 2007.

Tea-tourism and study activities include garden visits, picking experiences, tasting, tea-dyed cloth and tea-cake wrapping. Taimu Academy focuses on tea alongside traditional arts, reading and cultural exchange. The Fuding Lvxueya Vocational Skills Training School, established in 2017 according to its introduction, describes practical facilities for tea processing and professional assessment. Visitor activities and vocational courses have different purposes; confirm current programmes, booking arrangements and any qualification offered with the organiser.

Public recognition and certification context

A 12 May 2021 Fujian agriculture department publication identifies Lvxueya white tea as a 2020 Fujian Famous Agricultural Product, names Tianhu as its producer, and describes the company as a national key leading agricultural enterprise and white-tea national-standard drafting participant. These are dated public records.

The company’s certification showcase displays GAP, ISO 22000 and organic-related credentials. They should not be interpreted as proof that every current Lvxueya product is organic-certified. For a particular purchase, check the certificate holder, validity, covered site and product scope.

Questions to ask when choosing Lvxueya white tea

Is Lvxueya a brand or the company name?

Lvxueya(绿雪芽)is the brand; Fujian Tianhu Tea Co., Ltd.(福建省天湖茶业有限公司)is the production company identified in the public record above. The sales company named in the website footer is a separately named entity.

How should I compare two Lvxueya products?

Start with tea category, harvest or material year, stated origin, loose or compressed form, weight and documented storage. Compare Silver Needle with Silver Needle where possible; a gift box, older year or prestigious series name does not replace these details.

Does an older tea always taste better?

Age alone cannot establish quality. Processing, initial material and storage all matter. Ask for a sample and a clear storage account rather than relying only on an age claim.
