Yiwu Mountain is together the famed ancient six puerh tea mountains in Qing dynasty, located in the Southwest of Meng Na county. Yiwu Mountain used to be called Man Sha Mountain, The name is the translation of the local Dai ethical group. Yi means beautiful woman, Wu means snakes, so Yiwu means the place where the beautiful girl of snake resides. In Qing dynasty, puerh tea produced in the six ancient tea mountains were collectively called Shan Cha, literally means Mountain Tea while tea produced in Menghai county called Ba Cha, means highland tea. To distinguish, Yiwu Mountain, among other five tea mountains, is traditionally called Yiwu Zhen Shan, meaning the origin mountain or the real mountain.

The original flavor and taste of the legendary Yiwu Zhen Shan is embodied in this tea. After seven years of aging, this tea increasingly shines through with its pleasant floral fragrance, fruity and delicate flavor, very smooth and full bodied, and sweet after taste.
