Customers
The company sells tea products to tea business operators, including wholesale distributors, as well as end-user retail customers in mainland China. Its customer base spans commercial buyers that resell tea and consumers purchasing finished tea products for personal use.

Purchase tea products for blending, packaging, trading, or downstream distribution.
Buy finished tea products for personal consumption and brand preference.
Strategy
The company’s business model depends on vertical integration, linking tea cultivation with processing and distribution. Its strategic position comes from controlling product quality and supply from the tea garden through finished tea sales to both wholesale and retail channels.
Combining cultivation, processing, and sales helps control product quality and supply continuity.
Serving both wholesale distributors and retail customers broadens market access and reduces reliance on one buyer type.
Concentrating on white tea and black tea supports operational simplicity and product specialization.
Geography
Oriental Rise’s operations are concentrated in mainland China, where it cultivates tea in Zherong County, Ningde City, Fujian Province. Its sales are also focused on mainland China, so the business is tied to domestic demand, agricultural conditions, and regional logistics within China.
Risks
The business is exposed to agricultural yield risk, weather variability, and crop disease because its supply starts with tea cultivation in one geographic area. It also faces demand and pricing pressure from competing tea producers, customer concentration in China, and regulatory or trade restrictions affecting a foreign-listed Chinese issuer.
