Places
Origin Tea Selection follows remarkable tea places around the world. These are the places we follow now.
OTS follows places, not countries. The first places recorded here are in China.
Not many — but returned to over time.
Each place is a living landscape. Within it, we follow a specific plot, a group of trees or a single tree — and the maker who works with it. A harvest is one year’s result. The place and the maker remain independent.
Every harvest is recorded. Not every harvest becomes a tea.
