Highlights

We are thrilled to offer this tea hailing from Bai Cha Yuan, the prestigious tea-producing area of Yiwu Mountains. Yiwu mountain is one of the six historical pu'erh tea mountains of Yunnan province, and produced tribute tea during the Qing dynasty. Bai Cha Yuan is highly regarded for its exceptional high quality and taste. Due to its very limited production, it has become one of the most sought-after among pu'erh tea connoisseurs, pushing prices higher year after year. The tea terrace is located in the national forest territory, right at the border between China and Laos, which has the most ecologically growing conditions, giving the tea a pure clean taste of the wilderness, with strong chaqi. The purity and chaqi in the tea gives your body instant warmth and the sensation you have been looking for in pu'erh tea. It is very rare to see Bai Cha Yuan on the market. Victoria has been traveling to this area every year to source this tea and was heavily involved in the production of this tea, from leaf picking to the processing and cake stone pressing. The cake is also double wrapped in food grade paper, optimal for either immediate consumption or long-term storage. 

This tea is very aromatic, smooth, and mellow, with a full mouthful and strong honey notes. The balanced deliciated tasting notes bring a unique and superior level of enjoyment and satisfaction, along with a long-lasting aftertaste. These desirable and distinctive attributes of the tea that are specific to this bordering forest area are referred to as "cha yun" 茶韵 by Chinese tea connoisseurs. A very pure and clean taste, it surely showcases the very essence of the best Yiwu sheng puerh tea that will expand the horizons of your tea journey. Also great for aging, offering a great investment in your tea life.
