2021年8月27日 · In the most South-Western part of China, the mountainous Yunnan province bordering Myanmar and Laos, there are wild tea trees (Camellia Taliensis) that have stood there for thousands of years.

A black tea unlike any other, made from a forest grown ancestral tea tree variety (Camellia taliensis) found only in western Yunnan. Possesses a unique rich wildflower aroma with a sweet finish, free of any heaviness or astringency.

2010年7月12日 · Deep in the heart of Southern Yunnan there exist tea trees unlike any other on Earth. The jungles of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture and the districts of Simao and Lincang are home to the oldest tea trees in the world.

2015年1月30日 · Those ancient tea trees are regarded as the ‘living fossils’ of Yunnan’s aboriginal tea plants.* Yunnan isn’t only known for Puerh, but also for the most well known Black tea in China, called Golden Tip Dian Hong.

Camellia taliensis (also known as Yunnan large leaf varietal tea, wild tea, Dali tea, Yunnan broad tea, Fried egg plant and others; 大理茶) is a small species of evergreen shrub whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea.

The principal variety of tea bush grown is Da Ye, a bush with large leaves used to make Pu Erh. Until recently, Yunnan produced mostly black tea (which the Chinese call red), but because of the great popularity of Pu Erh, production is now primarily dedicated to the manufacture of dark teas.

However, there exists an even better way to harmonise tea production with conservation of ecosystems: tea forests, also referred to as ancient tea gardens. One example of tea forests can be found in Mangjing Village in the south of China’s Yunnan Province.

2025年3月3日 · Ever wondered how Yunnan’s legendary tea trees live for over 100 years? The answer lies in their unique variety: Camellia sinensis var. assamica. What makes this variety so special? 1️⃣ Tree-Like Growth: Unlike smaller tea bushes, this large-leaf variety grows into majestic tree forms, giving it strength and resilience.

Among the many types grown, Yunnan is famous for its black tea and green tea. However, the most notable is Pu-erh tea. This traditional tea undergoes a unique fermentation process that sets it apart from others.

“Deep in the forests of south Yunnan province, you can find the world’s oldest tea trees.” This is the pretext you may have come across reading books around the origin of tea… (Photo: much of Yunnan's tea fields have been unperturbed, and have been left to grow wild in the nature)
