Heritage of Yunnan's Tea Cultivation
Yunnan, known as the cradle of tea, holds a rich history spanning thousands of years in tea cultivation. The region's black tea production, however, began in the early 20th century as an innovative adaptation of traditional processing methods. The old growth tea gardens, some containing trees hundreds of years old, represent living artifacts of this rich heritage.
Local ethnic groups have maintained traditional cultivation practices, passing down expertise through generations. These methods, combined with the unique terroir of Yunnan's mountainous regions, contribute to the tea's distinctive character. The old bush varieties used in this tea are particularly valued for their complex flavor profiles and ability to age gracefully, much like fine wine.
