Old Tree Yunnan Black Tea is said to be the best Chinese black tea and is valued as pure tea. The sweet and mild taste and aroma of honey are completely natural.
It is made from tea leaves of tea tree bushes that are 150-300 years old that grow naturally in ecological forest tea gardens without any application of fertilizers and pesticides. Old bushes grow slower than the usual garden tea tree, and the black tea obtained from it has a characteristic original taste and aroma of tea as it once was in ancient times.
Old tea tree bushes grow on a high mountain at 2050 meters completely naturally and no pesticides are used to preserve the old trees. The standard one bud and two leaves are harvested for further processing into premium black tea. The copper-red color is an indicator of good fermentation and good processing, which is crucial for achieving good quality black tea.
