October 2024: Shaanxi Teas

We invite you to explore the rare and exceptional teas of Shaanxi Province, a region steeped in both history and tea culture. Situated in central China, it is home to ancient tea-growing areas like Ankang and Hanzhong, located just north of Sichuan and Chongqing.

The province’s high altitude and mineral-rich soils create ideal conditions for tea cultivation, while the cooler northern climate produces slow-growing tea plants that develop deep, complex flavors. Remarkably, the world’s oldest tea leaves, over 2,100 years old, were discovered in the tomb of a Han Dynasty emperor in Shaanxi, attesting to the region’s long-standing connection to tea.

Upcoming theme: Shou Pu'er (Ripe Pu-erh). Registration will open on 12AM PDT, October 16th, 2024.
Future themes: Southern Fujian Oolong, Hainan Tea, Black Tea, etc.

Vincent’s enthusiasm for sharing tea and tea culture is really impressive, and he has been working on this project with a hugeee effort that encourages me a lot on my tea journey. All the teas from the club are carefully sourced and amazingly unique."

    📍Hội An, Vietnam. Thao Huynh
  • “We have been enjoying Gong Fu Cha for about 20 years. Often the tea we purchased from "western facing vendors" was either disappointing or boring. The teas Vincent has selected for the club have been consistently excellent. Combined with the MyTeaPal App, the videos, the tastings and the knowledgeable international membership I could not be more pleased.“

    📍Gainesville, FL. Steven K
  • "Being able to enjoy tea with tea friends online and sharing our personal experiences makes MyTeaPal Club the most unique club boxes that I’ve ever tried. The integration of the MyTeaPal App gives me the opportunity to share my notes and pictures, plus the added new feature of connecting with other club members is just amazing. I’m already curious which teas Vincent got for the next few months."

  • "MyTeaPal was an instant Gong Fu Cha game-changer for me! Being new to Chinese teas, I wanted to find a resource for expert advice on which teas to drink and a group of people with whom I could share my tea journey. With a curator like Vincent and regular virtual tea sessions with other members from around the world, I found both and much more with MyTeaPal! From a cost/benefit perspective, the club has far exceeded my expectations and I give it my highest recommendation."
