Product Description

The Ancient Tea Tree Ripe Pu-erh tea, cultivated in a subtropical rainforest ecosystem without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, derives its full-bodied flavor and complexity from centuries-old trees with deep roots, and its meticulous fermentation process enhances its smooth, mellow taste, dark color, and health benefits.

Nestled in the lush, tropical region of Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province, our organic tea garden is a sanctuary for ancient tea trees. The region's subtropical rainforest ecosystem provides ample rainfall, humidity, and a rich biodiversity, all of which contribute to the distinct characteristics of this Gu Shu Ripe Pu-erh tea. These trees, revered for their age and vitality, are cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, ensuring a truly organic and natural product. The deep roots of these ancient trees draw nutrients from the rich, untainted soil, imparting a depth and complexity to the tea that younger plants cannot match. 

The full-bodied flavor is a testament to the centuries-old trees from which it hails, offering a tea-drinking experience like no other. Our ripe tea undergoes a meticulous fermentation process, carefully monitored to develop its signature smooth, mellow flavor and dark, rich color. This traditional method not only enhances the tea’s taste but also unlocks a range of health benefits, including improved digestion, reduced cholesterol levels, and a calming effect on the mind and body. Each sip reveals layers of earthy, woody notes, with a hint of sweetness and a silky smooth finish.

Kungfu Style

Using a Gaiwan or Yixing teapot, first rinse the teapot or Gaiwan with hot water to warm it up. Then, add around 5-7 grams of tea leaves, depending on the size of the vessel (Tea to Water Ratio: 1:20 ). Pour 212°F (100°C) boiled water over the tea leaves to rinse them, discarding the rinse water quickly. For the first infusion, pour hot water over the tea again, and steeping for about 5 seconds. For subsequent infusions, increase the steeping time by about 5 seconds, adjusting to taste.
