Business: ToChou-Cha (杜仲茶)
What is ToChou-Cha?
The photos above are ToChou Tree, very tall and the leaf is very big about the size of your face.
Here is some history and background of ToChou-Cha, sorry only in Chinese.
杜仲茶是以在中国中、西南部山上生长的杜仲树为原料制成。由于杜仲具有利尿的作用,所以适合作减肥之用;而且它对浮肿、肌肤粗糙、暗疮、便秘等也有疗效。杜仲亦可促进血液循环顺畅,提高新陈代谢,达至改善体质,令服用者不易变胖的功效。饮用者可将之视为果汁的代替品,随时饮用,分量不限。
Chinese News:
杜仲是传统名贵中药,而用其嫩芽制作成茶叶是一种保健茶,常饮此茶有益于健康长寿。
近年来,开化县杜仲茶研究所发挥本县杜仲资源的优势,采用优质杜仲嫩芽,以传统的制茶工艺结合现代“龙顶”茶叶加工技术,研制出茶感醇香,并保留了杜仲叶各种营养、功效成分的纯天然杜仲保健茶。
杜仲茶一经推出,就受到了广大消费者的喜爱。开化县工商局早在2002年就为开化两家生产加工杜仲茶的企业,通过国家注册了“健林”、“杜康”商标,为杜仲茶出口国外打下了坚实的基础。很快,杜仲茶得到了欧洲贸易效率委员会(ETEC,欧洲中国农产品采购)的确认,产品热销国外市场。
据统计,开化县目前已拥有杜仲林6410亩,可年产杜仲茶百吨以上,杜仲茶已成为开化农民增收的又一条途径。
今年开化县已有1500公斤杜仲茶飘洋过海,销往日本、马来西亚、台湾等地20多家茶叶经销商。

Business:
This tea is getting popular in Japan recently. I knew it through TV on last Saturday, it's not a commercial story or advertisment but is a Doctor health news. They had done some testing on Human body and experiment, the result is very good and surprised. For example: if you drink this tea 3 times a day (500ml each time) and continue for 2 weeks it can burn your body extra fats about 50%. Some of them have been taken it for years and they all looks very young. There was an old lady age 54 year old but looks like 40. Nobody believed that she was already 54. Amazing isn't it?
I am looking forward to find any opportunity to bring this tea from Malaysia or China and sell to Japan. Or Bring this made in Japan ToChou Tea to Malaysia or other countries, but the price will be much higher. Do you have any connection?
