Signature Export Products

Ancient Shan Tuyet Green Tea

Processing: Fresh harvest air-ventilation & cooling, high-heat fixation (shao mie men), cooling, rolling to shape the tea wings, manually loosening, and final dry baking.

Offers a bold initial pleasant astringency that smoothly transitions into a deep, long-lasting sweet aftertaste typical of high-mountain terroir.

Ancient Shan Tuyet Black Tea

Processing: Air-cooling on mats, natural wilting for approximately 10 hours to reach optimal flexibility, thorough rolling, full fermentation for 2-4 hours, and final dehydration.

Yields a brilliant rich amber liquor with distinct notes of wild honey, molasses, and ripe mountain fruits.

Ancient Raw Pu-erh Tea (Yellow Tea)

Processing: Harvest air-cooling, high-temperature drum-cooking, rapid fan cooling, rolling, 2-hour ambient settling, and finishing under direct natural mountain sunlight.

Nurtured by intense high-altitude UV rays, this living tea ages beautifully over time, cultivating continuous bio-transformation value.

Ancient Ripe (Aged) Pu-erh Tea

Processing: Formulated using vintage-grade Raw Pu-erh via a strictly monitored pile-fermentation (wo dui) process accelerating microbial conversion.

Delivers an incredibly smooth, earthy, velvet-like consistency with deep woody aromas and rich medicinal depth.

Ancient Shan Tuyet White Tea (Silver Needle & White Peony)

Processing: Bud-only White Tea: Cool air spreading, ultra-light fixation, cabinet electric drying, sun finishing. White Peony (1 Bud 1 Leaf): Low-temperature natural indoor wilting, followed by direct sun drying.

Preserves a heavy, distinctive layer of white downy fur. Yields an exceptionally delicate floral, sweet, and crystal-clear brew.

Wild Mandarin Pu-erh Tea (Chenpi Pu-erh)

Processing: Hand-picked wild forest green mandarins are hollowed out, packed tightly with premium ancient Pu-erh loose leaves, and dried in specialized electric cabinets for 12-13 hours.

An exquisite blend combining the deep, grounded texture of aged tea with the bright, aromatic citrus oils of wild mountain citrus.

Traditional Bamboo Tube Tea (Tra Ong Lam)

Processing: Selected ancient Pu-erh is tightly packed into fresh wild forest bamboo cylinders in sequential stages, carefully roasted over open fires while fresh, sealed with banana leaves, and aged over kitchen smoke cavities.

An ancient preservation masterwork infusing sweet bamboo sugars and smoky mountain forest characteristics into the tea core.

Terroir & Quality

Thriving in Thac Tang and Thac Tau villages at elevations up to 2,400 meters, our trees grow entirely naturally in mineral-rich forest soils. The region’s indigenous population is 90-95% Black Dao, whose spiritual culture directly protects these ancient forests. Annual traditions like the “Cao Bo Heritage Tea Zone Festival” held in late March (Lunar Calendar) bring together 11 villages to celebrate artisanal tea-making, preservation, and ancestral cultural practices like the “Cap Sac” adulthood ritual and hand-carved silver smithing.

Logistics & Lead Time

Supply Chain: Direct Farm-to-Cup infrastructure supporting poverty eradication for indigenous mountain households. Compliant with strict European, North American, and Asian custom regulations.

Export Capabilities:

  • Distribution: 1/4 total yield exported directly to Germany, with extensive supply lines across China, Russia, and Turkey.
  • Sourcing Profile: Fully natural wild collection completely free of chemical fertilizers or synthetic inputs.
