茶源 · ABOUT
Twenty-six years.
From Guangzhou to the world.
GOVERNANCE
PHILOSOPHY
We believe tea is more than a drink. It is a gesture of welcome, a moment of calm, and a refined expression of care.
DCY brings Chinese tea culture into contemporary hospitality through balance, beauty, discipline, and meaning. Every cup should feel authentic, graceful, and memorable, a quiet ritual within the guest journey.
GOVERNANCE
Luxury tea service depends on consistency. DCY supports hospitality partners with clear standards for sourcing, preparation, presentation, service, training, and guest experience.
Our approach protects quality while allowing each property to express its own destination, season, and guest profile. From leaf to cup, every detail is guided by discipline, respect, and care.
PARTNERSHIPS
From luxury hotel, resorts, VIP events and retail our partnerships programmes can include:
tea selection, welcome rituals, lounge and dining service, spa and suite moments, VIP gifting, staff training, SOPs, and co-branded cultural activations.
Together, we turn tea into a strategic hospitality asset, distinctive, emotional, and deeply memorable.
"Not merely to set the standard. To lead where the industry follows."
DaChaYuan positioning statement, 2026
茶源 · HISTORY

We are not a tea merchant. We are a tea culture company, with the infrastructure, the people, and the knowledge to translate centuries of Chinese tea tradition into exceptional guest experiences at scale.
