product description

Harvested from ancient trees of Lincang, Yunnan, that are over 500 years old. Our Ancient Tree Black Tea 古树红茶 is bold, warming, and deeply grounding. Grown high in mountain forests, these ancient trees draw rich nutrients from untouched soils, producing leaves with exceptional depth and balance.

Each cup reveals smooth layers of honeyed sweetness, dried fruit richness, and a lingering woodsy finish. Naturally energising yet gentle on the body, this black tea is perfect for morning focus, afternoon reflection, or mindful tea meditation.

  • Flavour: Full-bodied with notes of honey, red dates, and dried fruit

  • Sustainably sourced from Yunnan’s pristine mountains (pesticide and chemical free)

  • Tea leaves are only picked once a year between March - April (spring harvest)

Pairs perfectly with our Clay Pot Tea Set
