F.T.L. Since 1851
F.T.L. 豐泰隆 was founded in 1851. As the first core brand under the Dayatang Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritors Alliance,
its black tea craftsmanship has shone as an Eastern luxury alongside artworks at top auction houses in over a dozen countries worldwide.
At Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee State Banquet — when F.T.L. black tea compelled the Buckingham Palace steward to triple the order — it was destined that this tea’s aroma would traverse the mist of centuries.
Despite ancestors’ homeland being ravaged by fire and enduring jié nàn (劫难), the roots of the craftsmanship have remained deeply planted in the soil of civilization, quietly waiting to sprout new legends.
