Teavra | 2026 Yiwu Ancient Tree Pu-erh

Product Introduction

Sourced from the renowned Yiwu tea region in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan – hailed as the "Queen of Pu'er Tea" – this tea uses fresh leaves plucked from 200-year-old ancient tea trees in the core production area. Boasting a unique high-altitude ecological setting and mineral-rich soil, Yiwu nurtures tea leaves with abundant intrinsic nutrients. Picked in Yiwu's prime early spring window , after a full winter of nutrient accumulation, the tea buds are plump and the leaves thick-textured, resulting in a notably mellow taste and exquisite, prominent aroma.
