Ancient (2200+years) Hybrid Single Tree Raw Puerh 西汉古木-单株茶-生普洱

Price range: $180.00 through $1,200.00

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 2,200 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.

This tree first took root during China’s Western Han Dynasty, before Zhang Qian’s journeys opened the Silk Road and established one of history’s greatest routes of cultural exchange between East and West. While civilisations across Eurasia continued to develop independently, this ancient tree was already quietly growing in the mountains of Baiying Shan.

Over more than twenty-two 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 created a lineage of remarkable resilience, harmony, and character.

The tea is refined yet vibrant, offering clarity, gentle sweetness, and remarkable depth. Rather than revealing everything at once, its character unfolds patiently through successive infusions, expressing the quiet confidence shaped by time.

A living witness to the Western Han Dynasty, this single tree preserves over twenty-two centuries of uninterrupted growth, expressing the enduring dialogue between nature, time, and the exchange of civilisations.

Description

Ancient (2200+years) Hybrid Single Tree Raw Puerh

  • Leaf: Dark green leaves with a natural sheen, showing very little bud and a number of slender stems. Even after rolling, the leaves retain their broad natural form, revealing the remarkable toughness inherited through centuries of natural evolution. Once infused, they unfold into a brilliant fresh green, appearing almost as if they had just been picked from the tree.
  • Liquor: Bright, crystal-clear pale yellow-green.
  • Aroma: The dry leaves are understated, carrying gentle sweetness with subtle grassy notes. The empty cup reveals an exceptionally rich and enduring aroma, where elegant floral and fruity notes remain vividly present even after the eighth infusion.
  • Taste:From the very first sip, the liquor fills the entire palate with remarkable ease. There is virtually no bitterness; instead, a natural sweetness emerges immediately, supported by quiet strength and remarkable depth. What distinguishes this ancient tree is not intensity alone, but extraordinary refinement. The liquor possesses an exceptionally fine texture, spreading effortlessly across the tongue and cheeks with almost weightless precision, creating a silky, enveloping sensation rarely encountered in younger trees. Its fragrance lingers gracefully throughout the mouth, while the sweetness continues to develop long after each sip, leaving a calm yet powerful finish.
  • Infusions: Approximately 15–25 infusions with light brewing, or 12–18 infusions when brewed stronger.
  • Recommended Teaware: Porcelain Gaiwan or Yixing Clay Teapot.
