The Lincang tea area in Yunnan Province is a tea region with a rich history. Boasting high altitudes, a cool climate, and abundant annual rainfall, its climatic conditions are conducive to the growth and maturation of Pu'er tea.
The tea leaves used are tender shoots picked from the start of spring—plump, tender, and rich in nutrients such as tea polyphenols.
This tea is meticulously crafted from specially selected fine spring tips picked before the Qingming Festival in 2004, stored purely dry. When brewed, the tea soup emits a charming aroma with a faint smoky note, leaving a comfortable aftertaste.
