Tea Story

Yiwu Zhengshan, the revered heart of Yunnan’s Six Ancient Tea Mountains, holds a timeless place in Chinese Pu'er tea history. For over two centuries, this mist-shrouded region in Xishuangbanna has produced the finest imperial tribute teas, once reserved for Qing emperors. Staying true to traditional handcrafts, we preserve the techniques that made Yiwu tribute tea legendary.
