product description

Ancient Tree White Tea 古树白茶, harvested from ancient trees of Lincang, Yunnan, that are over 500 years old. Grown high in mountain forests, these deep-rooted trees draw rich nutrients from untouched soil, producing leaves that are delicate yet full of character.

  • Flavour: Soft, sweet, and velvety with subtle fruit undertones

  • Rich in antioxidants and gentle on the body

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