Ancient (1000+years) Hybrid Single Tree Raw Puerh 北宋古木-单株茶-生普洱

From the mountains of Baiying Shan in Lincang, Yunnan, this exceptional puerh is crafted from the leaves of a single ancient hybrid tea tree more than 1,000 years old. Formed through the natural pollination of wild and cultivated tea trees over many generations, each tree represents a unique expression of nature’s long evolution.

These trees first took root during China’s Northern Song Dynasty, an era renowned for its refined culture, scholarship, and appreciation of tea. It was a time when tea evolved beyond everyday consumption into an art form, inspiring literature, aesthetics, and the celebrated traditions of Song tea culture.

Over more than a thousand years of uninterrupted growth, this individual tree has continued to thrive within Baiying Shan’s diverse mountain ecosystem. The quiet interaction between wild vitality and cultivated heritage has produced a lineage of remarkable balance, resilience, and character.

The tea is elegant and composed, offering refined structure, gentle sweetness, and lasting depth. Rather than revealing everything at once, its character unfolds patiently through successive infusions.

A living witness to the Northern Song Dynasty, this single tree preserves over a millennium of uninterrupted growth, expressing the enduring dialogue between nature, time, and tea culture.
