Yi Cun Guang Yin ( 一寸光阴)
In 2010, a young couple started off their own new brand of tea, named Yi Cun Guang Yin.
Before they were working like sales people tea brands or tea manufacturers like Da Yi , Lao Tong Zhi or Long Sheng.
During those years working this kind of 'no future job' they’ve got an opportunity to get in touch with farmers ,
tea producers etc. Didn't take long when they started to learn how the tea business works and opened up their own.
We choose them for our shop for a wide selection ( locations ) of their teas and quality / price .
