Ancient Teas

The tea is fresh, but the trees it is picked from are over 1000 years old. The Bulang and Dai hill tribes of the Jing Mai Mountain range have been enjoying this tea varietal for over 1300 years for a very good reason: it’s amazing. Now, you can enjoy it too. Hand-harvested in very small batches to ensure sustainability, several teas are cultivated from these ancient trees.

The tea trees are a unique strain of Camellia Sinensis known as Yunnan Da Yeh, or “broad leaf.” Certified USDA Organic, and Fair Trade, this is a delicious tea that also helps to sustain the ethnic minorities of Jingmai Mountains. Already, Fair Trade funds have helped to build a library, a water purification system, a cultural center, and a college education for several young people in the community.
