Harvested from ancient tea trees nearing six centuries in age, this rare raw Pu Er comes from Bingdao Laozhai, among the most exacting and sought-after terroirs in Yunnan. In this preserved high-altitude environment of forests, springs and mineral soils, the leaf develops exceptional concentration, definition and length on the palate.
The infusion opens with a pure iodised freshness, evocative of sea spray and wet stone, before deepening into notes of honey, undergrowth and porcini. The palate is ample, silky and finely built, sustained by a creamy texture and a long, resonant finish. A tea of rare calibre, prized for the distinction of its origin, the age of its trees and the singular authority of its structure.
