Ancient Tea Tree Ripe (Shou) Pu-erh Tea

Our Ancient Tea Tree Ripe Pu-erh Tea (古树熟普洱茶) is a premium offering cultivated in the subtropical rainforest ecosystem of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. Sourced from centuries-old tea trees growing deep in the mountains, this tea is nurtured without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The ancient trees, with their deep, nutrient-rich roots, draw from untouched soil, resulting in a tea that is naturally full-bodied, complex, and rich in character—qualities that younger tea plants simply cannot replicate.

Grown in an organic tea garden nestled in one of China’s most biodiverse regions, this Gu Shu (ancient tree) tea benefits from the region’s ample rainfall, humidity, and lush environment. Each leaf captures the vitality of the rainforest and the wisdom of time, translating into a tea with layered earthy and woody notes, a subtle sweetness, and a silky smooth finish. The tea’s reddish-brown liquor is visually striking, while its aroma and depth make for a grounding and satisfying tea-drinking experience.

What truly sets this tea apart is its meticulous traditional fermentation process. Carefully monitored over time, the ripening process enhances the tea’s mellow, smooth texture and unlocks numerous health benefits. From aiding digestion to helping regulate cholesterol and offering a calming effect on the mind and body, this tea is both a sensory and wellness experience. Every sip is a reflection of ancient roots, clean cultivation, and masterful craftsmanship.
