This rare black tea hails from wild tea trees over 350 years old, their gnarled roots clinging to Yunnan’s mist-shrouded terrain. Though large-leaf Assamica Da Ye Zhong leaves are traditionally reserved for crafting Puer, a precious few are diverted early each spring—when a bud and two leaves are plucked, still young and vibrant.
Once dried, the leaves turn a mellow brown, adorned with radiant golden tips. What blooms in your cup is a tea of exceptional character: a floral-fruity aroma laced with whispers of wild forest and the breathtaking energy of Qi.
Its taste is sweet, layered, and refined, with delicate astringency and a cool citrus finish that lingers like a breeze through alpine groves. Drinking it feels like tuning into something ancient—a quiet echo of time held within each leaf.
