Ancient (1200+years) Hybrid Single Tree Raw Puerh 盛唐古木-单株茶-生普洱

From the mountains of Baiying Shan in Lincang, Yunnan, this distinctive puerh is crafted from the leaves of a single ancient hybrid tea tree more than 1,200 years old. Formed through the natural pollination of wild and cultivated tea trees over many generations, each tree reflects a unique expression of nature’s long evolution.

These trees first took root during China’s High Tang Dynasty, one of the great golden ages of Chinese civilisation. During this period, tea culture flourished throughout the empire, and Japanese monks travelled to China to study Buddhism, literature, and the art of tea. While these cultural exchanges were taking place, this tree was already quietly growing in the mountains of Baiying Shan.

Over more than twelve centuries of uninterrupted growth, this individual tree has continued to thrive within its diverse mountain ecosystem. The natural interaction between wild vitality and cultivated heritage has produced a lineage of remarkable harmony, resilience, and depth.

The tea is refined and balanced, offering clarity, gentle sweetness, and quiet complexity. Rather than revealing everything at once, its character unfolds gradually through successive infusions.

A living witness to the High Tang Dynasty, this single tree preserves over twelve centuries of uninterrupted growth, expressing the enduring dialogue between nature, time, and the shared tea traditions of East Asia.
