Lin Family

Guardian of Pure White Tea
Lin Guodong
Deep in the misty mountains of Fuding, where ancient forests whisper in the wind, the Lin family has quietly tended to tea for generations. At the heart of this legacy is Lin Guodong, a man who finds joy in the simplest of pursuits—growing, crafting, and savoring white tea. To him, tea is not a commodity but a way of life, a reflection of nature in its purest form.
Lin Guodong follows the most traditional and unadulterated methods of white tea craftsmanship, believing that true excellence comes from respecting nature rather than interfering with it. His philosophy is simple: purity is everything. A good white tea must be untouched by artificial influence, free from even the slightest impurity. That is why his tea gardens are hidden deep in the mountains, far from human disturbance. The journey there is
arduous—winding paths, rugged trails—where every leaf, every tool, every supply must be carried on foot, by hand, with care.
To Lin Guodong, every season’s tea is equal—there is no hierarchy of value, no belief that spring tea is superior while summer tea is lesser. Every leaf is treated with the same devotion, for each carries the essence of the land
and the rhythm of time. He does not chase trends or fleeting preferences; instead, he dedicates himself to honoring the tea itself, ensuring that what reaches the cup is as natural, clean, and timeless as the mountain air from which it was born.
Here, in the heart of Fuding’s untamed wilderness, the Lin family continues its quiet work, crafting white tea that speaks not of intervention, but of patience, purity, and a deep respect for the earth.
