Amber River Black Tea — Craftfolio

Sale price$50.00

Taste: Longan, Orchid, Apricot 

Serving: Features 8 individually sealed bags. Each canister makes 25–30 cups of tea.

In fine black tea, the final precision lies in sifting. Leaves are separated by thickness, length and weight through a series of hand movements such as shaking, circling, lifting and tossing. Each motion has a purpose to remove light flakes, broken stems and uneven pieces while keeping the shape intact. The goal is even brewing and a smooth, consistent taste. To an untrained eye it looks simple, but in skilled hands it is a rhythm learned over years where every sift shapes the character of the tea.

A white, four-lobed cup of Amber River Black Tea by Chafolio sits above six tea leaves arranged in a row on a plain, light background.

Finding Master Chen

From our founder — Joey Zhou

I first heard about Master Chen from one of my closest friends, who studied tea science with him at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University. They were classmates who chose to stay in a field that demands patience, discipline and a lifetime of quiet dedication. What touched me most was not only Chen’s devotion to Tan Yang Gong Fu black tea, but also the deep respect he still holds for his master. Today, Master Chen is a leading force in developing new planting techniques in his region, yet he continues to return to his teacher for guidance, carrying the same humility he had as a young apprentice.

There is a saying in China: “A teacher for one day is a father for life.” In Master Chen’s story, I truly felt this wisdom. What passes from teacher to student is not just skill. It is a way of honoring the tea, honoring the land, and striving toward perfection even when an easier path is always available.
