Tea story
Yunnan Wild Tree Black Tea is a tribute to the ancient tea forests of Yunnan, where tea trees have grown undisturbed for centuries. Harvested from trees over 250 years old, this tea carries the essence of deep-rooted tradition and wild nature. Unlike cultivated tea bushes, wild tea trees develop deeper root systems that draw nutrients from the rich mountain soil, resulting in a more layered and complex flavor.
For generations, local tea artisans have carefully hand-plucked the golden-tipped leaves, preserving the integrity of the wild tea trees. The leaves are naturally withered, rolled, and oxidized using time-honored techniques, enhancing their rich, velvety character. The result is a tea with a full-bodied texture, delicate sugarcane sweetness, and lingering citrus notes that reflect the untouched beauty of Yunnan’s high-altitude terroir.
This rare and exceptional tea is a window into the history of Chinese tea craftsmanship. With every sip, you experience a connection to the ancient trees, the misty mountains, and the generations of tea makers who have passed down their knowledge through the ages.
