Rare high mountain wild buds, carefully pressed into a pristine white tea cake, offering delicate florals and natural honeyed sweetness.
From the secluded highland terraces of Lincang, Yunnan, our 2019 Wild Ancient Tree Shoumei is sourced from untouched mountain forests, where tea bushes grow freely, nourished by crisp air and misty elevations. Each leaf captures the essence of its wild highland origin, delivering a taste of nature’s purity in every sip.
The tea is carefully selected from one-bud-two-leaf and one-bud-three-leaf picks, hand-pressed using traditional craftsmanship to preserve its natural aroma and subtle flavors. Upon brewing, the liquor glows with a translucent reddish hue, revealing layers of soft white florals, gentle honey notes, and a whisper of almond and light vegetal sweetness.
As the tea ages slightly or is stored under optimal conditions, these flavors evolve gracefully, offering a deeper, mellow complexity reminiscent of early autumn harvests — a journey through delicate florals and light sweetness.
