That's right. But Shifeng is not a brand name; it's a mountain. When
Chinese associate a tea with such and such a mountain, or such and
such a village (Xiping Tieguanyin, for example), quality is associated
with a place, but not with a specific company's brand.

Yes, Tian Fu would qualify as a Chinese brand. They're all over. But
how well-known are they in China?

That's the problem in China. Brands are not well-known. And most
people will associate a tea with a location; not with a company. It
may be a very very long time before tea brands in China are more
widely accepted.
