From the remote mountains of Leopard Cave Village and ShangJiaShan Village in Lincang, Yunnan, this exceptional puerh is crafted from the leaves of a single ancient wild tea tree more than 1,800 years old. Growing undisturbed in its natural mountain environment, this tree represents a lineage that has survived through centuries without cultivation.
This tree first took root during China’s Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms period. While the Silk Road connected East and West, the Roman Empire stood at the height of its influence, and the Maya civilisation flourished across Central America. As these great civilisations shaped human history, this ancient tree continued its quiet growth in the mountains of Yunnan.
Over more than eighteen centuries of uninterrupted growth, this individual tree has continued to thrive within its untouched forest ecosystem. Its long natural evolution has created a rare expression of strength, purity, and enduring vitality.
The tea is smooth and composed, offering natural sweetness, refined depth, and remarkable endurance. Rather than displaying immediate intensity, its character unfolds gradually through successive infusions, revealing the quiet power developed through centuries of growth.
A living witness to the Eastern Han and Three Kingdoms period, this single tree preserves over eighteen centuries of uninterrupted growth, expressing the enduring dialogue between nature, time, and civilisation.
