Wild Ancient Tree Black – Rare Yunnan Wild Tree Black TeaOur fine Wild Ancient Tree Black tea is a rare and unique treasure, harvested from untamed wild tea trees growing at more than 2, 000 meters above sea level in southwestern China's Yunnan Province. These 100-year-old trees are hand-picked only once a year, in spring, and their ancient root systems reach deep into mineral-rich soil, giving the tea its remarkably complex flavor and body. Wild tree teas are prized by connoisseurs for their untamed, characterful flavor — something cultivated tea gardens simply can't replicate. Once steeped, the dark leaves release a brilliant, clear, warm-brown liquor with a floral, date-like fragrance. At first sip, you'll be drawn deeper by notes of berry, pickled plum and cassis — distinctly wild-tasting, with a strong cha qi and a lingering freshness on the palate. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItWild Ancient Tree Black offers a rare chance to taste tea in its most natural, untamed form. Its deep fruit notes and lively character make every session memorable, and its complexity keeps revealing new layers with each cup.
How to EnjoyBrew it gongfu-style in a gaiwan to explore its evolving character over several infusions, or enjoy it in a teapot as a special everyday treat. It's best enjoyed plain to appreciate its natural fruitiness, and pairs beautifully with dark chocolate and dried fruit. A rare find for adventurous tea lovers, Wild Ancient Tree Black is a true taste of Yunnan's wild tea heritage. |

A little steeping tipUse freshly boiled water and keep an eye on the clock: steeping past the suggested time brings out a drier, more astringent cup.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
