From the remote mountains of Baiying Shan in Lincang, Yunnan, this extraordinary puerh is crafted from the leaves of a single ancient wild tea tree more than 2,700 years old. Growing undisturbed in its natural mountain environment, this tree represents one of the oldest living expressions of Yunnan’s ancient tea heritage.
This tree first took root during China’s Spring and Autumn Period, centuries before Zhang Qian opened the Silk Road. Around the same time, the ancient Greek city-states were flourishing along the Mediterranean, while many of the philosophical traditions that would later shape both East and West had yet to emerge. As civilisations evolved across the world, this ancient tree continued its quiet growth in the mountains of Baiying Shan.
Over more than twenty-seven 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 vitality, resilience, and enduring strength.
The tea is profound yet composed, offering remarkable clarity, gentle sweetness, and lasting depth. Rather than revealing everything at once, its character unfolds patiently through successive infusions, expressing the quiet confidence that only centuries can create.
A living witness to the Spring and Autumn Period, this single tree preserves over twenty-seven centuries of uninterrupted growth, expressing the enduring dialogue between nature, time, and civilisation.
