About Us
Hello! We’re David from the U.S. and Sherry from China, co-founders of Purcraftea (pronounced Pure-Craft-Tea), and a team with a passion for tea. Four years ago, we moved to Kunming, Yunnan, and after discovering the Blang people’s tea from Jingmai Mountain, we were captivated by its unique wild orchid aroma.
The Blang people, among the first to cultivate tea, treat their ancient tea trees with deep reverence. But genuine Jingmai tea is often hard to find and pricey. To source authentic tea, we journeyed to Jingmai Mountain, staying with Blang families in Mangjing Village and sampling tea directly from local farmers. The mountain’s strict regulations ensure that only native leaves are harvested, preserving its quality and purity.
After an extensive search, we found the tea we had dreamed of, sourced directly from Blang farmers. This approach lets us guarantee purity, quality, and an accessible price. Like the Blang, we cherish the environment, knowing that Jingmai’s pristine nature and their skilled craftsmanship produce truly exceptional tea. We’re honored to share the pure essence of Jingmai Mountain with tea lovers around the world.
