“Originating from the great snow mountains of Bangdong in Lincang, Yunnan, at elevations between 1,800-2,000 meters, this pristine tea region is blessed with abundant sunlight, ideal humidity, and ancient tea trees growing amidst misty mountains. These century-old trees have thrived naturally in the forest for hundreds of years, perfectly adapted to their natural environment and pest resistance, requiring no pesticides or fertilizers, maintaining their most primitive vitality.
Traditional Craftsmanship:
Following simple, traditional tea processing methods focusing on picking, withering, and sun-drying, with minimal human intervention to preserve both the wild character and gentle nature of the tea leaves. The ancient tree buds, though challenging to harvest and sometimes irregular in appearance, contain exceptional qualities.
Quality Characteristics:
– Dry Leaves: Thick and elastic leaves with distinct veins, showing irregular serrated edges characteristic of ancient trees
– Aroma: Fresh mountain wilderness character, subtle and lasting, with hints of floral notes in multiple layers
– Tea Liquor: Light yellow and crystal clear, naturally sweet with delicate fresh notes
– Taste: Rock-sugar sweetness, smooth and rich texture, lasting through multiple infusions, best brewed at 85-95°C water for up to 15 steepings
Terroir Features:
