Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. A starter sample set covers 4–8 teas / small packs and ships with full tasting notes, so your team can judge the tea itself before committing to a wholesale quantity.

It depends on the format. Pressed 357 g cakes start at 7 cakes (1 tong). Loose leaf, Dian Hong and Yunnan white tea start from 5 kg per lot. Private label is set by design (per project). These are entry points, not fixed lot sizes.

Yes — the sample and the wholesale lot come from the same production at origin. Harvest year, net weight and format are confirmed in writing before shipment. Tea is agricultural, so expect the same lot, not a molecular copy.

Both, and they are labelled differently on purpose. Core mountains and house blends are held for repeat orders after sample approval; single-tree and heritage lots are limited by what the garden produces.

Yes. A mixed wholesale carton is built by SKU mix — enough volume to put several teas in front of real customers before you commit to a full case per SKU.

Samples are charged and the fee is paid in advance. It is not credited against your first wholesale order. The fee covers the material itself plus full tasting notes for each tea.

Yes. Cake faces, cotton-paper wrappers, neifei tickets, gift boxes, cartons and labels are produced to your specification, in the language and declarations your destination market requires. Send those requirements before anything is printed.

Everything outside the tea itself: cake face, cotton-paper wrapper, neifei ticket, gift box, shipping carton and multilingual labels. The tea inside is chosen the same way as any wholesale order — sample first, then lot confirmation.

Set by design (per project), because the minimum follows the packaging rather than the tea. Standard cakes with custom wrappers sit near ordinary wholesale entry points; bespoke gift boxes carry their own printing minimums.

Yours. Private-label orders ship under your brand, and the supplier brand does not appear unless you ask. Baodun Yanyu and Dianwu Gongya are registered trademarks and can also be distributed as they stand.

Certificate of Origin, packing and lot documents, and food-safety or test reports where your market requires them. Business licence and trademark certificate on request. Send your customs broker's list at the quotation stage.

Yes, on request. Pesticide-residue, heavy-metal and microbiology testing is arranged through third-party laboratories per order, against the limits of the market you import into, rather than held as a blanket certificate.

Worldwide. In practice the range is built around North America; Germany, France, the Netherlands and the UK; Poland, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan; Southeast Asia; and Gulf gift and hospitality channels.

Raw (sheng) Pu-erh is sun-dried and unfermented: bright, floral, and it changes over years of storage. Ripe (shou) Pu-erh is pile-fermented at the factory: dark, smooth, earthy and ready to drink immediately.

Every tea is tied to a named mountain or village, with altitude, harvest season and packing lot confirmed in writing per order. No laboratory can prove a leaf came from one village rather than the next valley — no supplier in this category can.

Baodun Yanyu ancient-tree material is generally 200 to 600 years old, and a few named lots are documented higher — Banzhang Five Villages at 500–800 years, the Nannuo single tree at 800-plus. Tree age is a garden-level attribution, not a laboratory measurement, so quote the figure on each product's own spec.

26 wholesale SKUs: single-origin raw Pu-erh from named mountains, ripe Pu-erh, Fengqing Dian Hong, Yunnan white tea and specialty purple bud — plus the Dianwu Gongya heritage tier from five royal tribute gardens.

Four. Xishuangbanna (Pasha, Nannuo, Bulang, Banzhang, Yiwu), Pu'er (Jingmai, Jinggu, Kunlu), Lincang (Bingdao and Mengku, Xigui, Bangdong, Yongde) and Baoshan. Every tea is pressed at source.

Dry, ventilated, odour-free and out of direct sunlight — a working target is 20–30 °C and 50–70% relative humidity. Keep cakes in their cotton-paper wrappers and away from coffee, spices or cleaning chemicals.

Prices are quoted per inquiry because they vary with the mountain, grade, harvest year, format, volume and packaging specification. Send the products and requirements you are considering, and the quotation will be prepared accordingly.

Baodun Yanyu normally works with importers and distributors, specialty tea houses and loose-leaf retailers, online tea clubs, gift and hospitality channels, and brands running their own private label.

Send an inquiry with your market, channel and the categories you are considering. A starter sample set covering 4–8 teas / small packs is proposed and ships with tasting notes. You taste, confirm, and the lot is quoted, produced and documented for export.
