Did I mention that while we were in China, we came across a chain of tea shops called "Ten Fu" but with absolutely identical logos and branding? We couldn't figure out who was copying who.

Lee Rieho
Chairman of TenRen's Tea and TenFu Group

As the saying goes, "where there is a will, there is a way," our group Chairman Lee Rieho, with his enthusiasm toward tea as well as his perseverance to the career, has developed two well-known brands of tea: Ten Ren Tea and Ten Fu Tea, and has contributed to make tea manufacturing from an conventional trade into a professional and modern group.

While the exact company structure isn't entirely clear (the "About Ten Fu Inc." section is actually about Ten Fu's Tea Museum), it looks like we're basically talking different interrelated branches of the same organization. (I get the impression that Ten Ren is the Taiwanese branch of the company and Ten Fu the PRC subsidiary, but that may not be correct.)
