Guafengzhai Ancient Tree Puerh Tea - The Charm of the King of Yiwu Tea
Originating from Guafengzhai, a small village in the Yiwu tea region of Mengla County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China, this ancient tree Puerh tea is a treasure born of nature and tradition. Nestled near the China-Laos border at an altitude of approximately 1,200 meters, Guafengzhai is surrounded by pristine virgin forests, boasting an exceptional ecological environment. The village is home to Yao and Miao ethnic tea farmers who have safeguarded these tea mountains for generations, crafting this tea with time-honored techniques to preserve the essence of its ancient trees.
The ancient tea trees of Guafengzhai, untouched by artificial dwarfing, grow in harmony with the forest. Their slow growth results in a rich accumulation of inner compounds, delivering a distinctive taste and remarkable aging potential. The tea offers a smooth, velvety mouthfeel, a lingering sweetness, and a deep, layered fragrance that captivates the senses. Revered by tea enthusiasts as the “King of Yiwu Tea,” its name is said to trace back to a legendary storm that scattered tea leaves, accidentally revealing their extraordinary quality—though a folk tale, it adds a touch of mystique to its legacy.
This Guafengzhai Ancient Tree Puerh Tea is more than a sensory delight, it is a gift of time. Whether enjoyed now or aged gracefully over the years, it promises a pure and profound journey of tea appreciation. Experience the breath of the wilderness and the soul of ancient trees—this is the rare beauty of Guafengzhai.
