[Houyue Youlan Gubai SGS Test Report

Houyue, born for crowdfunding, has always put health and safety first since the launch of its first crowdfunded tea product 'Liushan Bing' in 2015. Of course, 'putting first' is not just talk.

We adhere to a serious and responsible attitude towards our crowdfunding partners. We randomly selected one cake of Houyue's fourteenth product, Youlan Gubai white tea, and sent it to the SGS (Shanghai) laboratory for testing. We received an excellent test report and are making it public here. Any consumer can click to read it. We are open and honest, treating others with sincerity, hoping to offer you a cup of clean, delicious, and healthy high-end white tea.

Currently, white tea is dominated by Fujian tea, but Yunnan white tea has its own raw material advantages. Besides the advantages of Yunnan tea trees growing in high mountains and being arboreal, the tea trees grow in a forest-covered, pristine environment, which is the greatest advantage.

Confidence comes from truth and sincerity. The truth is the raw material, i.e., fresh leaves; the sincerity is the attitude, i.e., the philosophy. Staying away from tricks and storytelling, and focusing on quality and character, is the true meaning of Houyue's 'from forest big trees'. All subsequent crowdfunding series products of Houyue follow this principle: let test reports speak, let scientific data speak, let products speak, and let consumers speak for themselves.

Houyue spends more time, energy, and cost on product quality, including the fourteenth product, Youlan Gubai white tea. Because Houyue puts safety and health first, it unhesitatingly sends products to SGS, the world's strictest and most professional testing institution. As an internationally recognized inspection, verification, testing, and certification body, SGS follows EU testing standards. This is fair to consumers; only with strict demands can responsibility and quality be seen.

Below is the test report for Houyue's fourteenth crowdfunded tea:

— Youlan Gubai Test Report —

Out of 100 tests, 99 showed no detection, and only one was close to the critical value.

It is particularly important to note that in this test, Youlan Gubai detected anthraquinone—the source is not pesticides, but may come from a certain printing dye component in the cardboard box. The Chinese national standard does not include this test. In other words, if sent to a domestic testing institution, anthraquinone would not be detected; only the EU standard includes this test item. Even so, the anthraquinone in Youlan Gubai is below the EU standard: the test result is 0.018 (mg/kg), while the EU limit is 0.02 (mg/kg).
