What ChinaTea101 is
ChinaTea101 ("the site", "we", "us") is an independent, English-language field guide to Chinese tea. By using the site, you agree to these terms.
Educational content, not professional advice
Content on this site — tea profiles, brewing guidance, buying clues, tool outputs — is for general educational and informational purposes. It is not a substitute for professional advice (medical, legal or otherwise) and should not be treated as a guarantee about a specific product, seller or purchase. See our editorial method for how we separate observation from proof.
Accuracy and no warranty
We try to keep content accurate and clearly label what has and has not been independently checked, but the site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. Tasting notes are tendencies, not guarantees; brewing suggestions are starting points, not fixed formulas; buying clues help you ask better questions but cannot authenticate origin, age or grade on their own.
Tools
The Tea Finder, Tea Compare and Brewing Calculator produce general suggestions based on the inputs you give them. We do not guarantee that results will match your taste or that a suggested recipe is optimal for your specific tea or equipment.
Intellectual property
Text, original illustrations and site design on ChinaTea101 belong to ChinaTea101 unless otherwise noted. You are welcome to link to the site or quote short excerpts with attribution; please contact us before reproducing full pages or images elsewhere.
Third-party links
The site may link to external sources, including government standards bodies and other reference material, for verification purposes. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of third-party sites.
Changes
We may update these terms as the site develops. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. Material changes will update the "Last updated" date above.
