Hand-picked spring leaves from Yunnan's ancient tea gardens. Bright emerald liquor, delicate vegetal sweetness, and the unmistakable mineral character of high-altitude terroir — a refined alternative to traditional green tea origins.
Yunnan is the ancestral home of all tea. The world's oldest cultivated tea tree — over 3,200 years old — still stands in Fengqing County, where our green tea partners harvest each spring.
Unlike Japanese sencha or Chinese Longjing, Yunnan green tea preserves a distinct varietal character: fuller-bodied, gently mineral, with a long sweet aftertaste known locally as gan (回甘). Pan-fired within hours of picking to lock in freshness.
We supply both classical loose-leaf grades and modern matcha-style stone-ground powder, with full traceability to garden and cooperative.
