Originating from the mystical Yubi Ancient Tea Mountain in Jingdong, this tea garden is nestled in the southwestern section of the 260-kilometer Wuliang Mountain range, at altitudes between 1,700-2,000 meters. The Banwa ancient tea gardens are scattered throughout a national nature reserve, surrounded by pristine forests. With an average annual temperature of 13.6°C and perpetual mists, these conditions nurture tea trees that have thrived for over 300 years.
