"I'm lucky to have an unbelievable tea way where I met many wonderful tea people from all over the world. During my long career in the tea industry as a tea master, tea taster, and owner of a tea brand, I made a lot of valuable connections and relationships with tea producers and experts from tea-producing countries. Getting deeper into this endless world, I believe this way of life makes me a better person every day. All I want is to share with you everything I see and feel, all the knowledge of mine and my dear colleagues, and bring you closer to what Eastern friends call a sense of beauty."

Almost all the fresh tea in our collection is PESTICIDE-FREE GARDENING and comes strictly from tea producers. Tea production is almost the meaning of their lives, a lifework they have dedicated themselves to. These people cultivate, harvest, and produce tea with devotion using old family recipes for generations. The mastery, developed over hundreds of years, is reflected in the appearance, aroma, taste, and colour of infusion, as well as the wonderful state this drink gives.

Speaking about aged tea, all the teas are professionally stored by experienced collectors in special storage conditions, observing all the rules for ideal tea aging.

In the AN SHIM TEA Collection, you will find authentic classical Chinese teas with hundreds of years of history, age, collection, competition, and other unique teas you won't find anywhere else.
