- 6-Year Optimal Dry Storage — Aged in Kunming and Xi'an dry warehouses, preserving pristine flavor evolution without mustiness or off-notes.
- Extraordinary Infusion Longevity — 15+ steepings from a single session, delivering exceptional value per gram and hours of evolving flavor discovery.
The Story Behind This Tea
In the remote tea mountains of Lincang, Yunnan Province, ancient tea trees have stood for centuries—some for over 300 years, their roots reaching deep into mineral-rich soil while their branches stretch toward misty skies. These are not cultivated plantation bushes but living monuments to China's tea heritage, each tree producing only a limited quantity of leaves each spring.
The Chunming Tea Factory's Ancient Tea Forest Collection represents a philosophy of uncompromising quality. Every spring, skilled harvesters climb these ancient trees at dawn, selecting only leaves untouched by rain—because rainwater dilutes the concentrated biochemical compounds that give gushu tea its signature intensity. Pest-damaged leaves are equally rejected; any stress to the leaf alters its chemical profile and compromises the clean, pure flavor that collectors demand.
What arrives in your hands is the result of collaboration between three distinguished tea experts. Professor Gong Zhengli 龚正礼 brings academic rigor from Southwest University's tea science program. Yang Chunming 杨春明, as the factory's principal and an ancient tree preservation advocate, ensures ethical sourcing and traditional processing methods including careful shaqing (杀青, Shā Qīng) and sun-drying. National Senior Tea Appraiser Yang Tianqing 杨天清 provides the sensory expertise that guarantees each cake meets exacting standards.
Since 2019, this tea has rested in controlled dry storage—first in Kunming's high-altitude, low-humidity environment, then in Xi'an's similarly favorable conditions. This careful aging has begun transforming the tea's youthful brightness into something deeper, while preserving the vibrant floral-honey character that makes young gushu so prized. You're acquiring not just a tea, but a time capsule with decades of transformation ahead.
