Jingmai Zhengshan Ancient Tree Sheng Pu-erh (2023)

Sourced from the remote highlands of Jingmai, our 2023 Zhengshan Sheng Pu-erh is made exclusively from old-growth tea trees intermingled with native forest vegetation. These ancient tea gardens—many over a century old—produce leaves that capture the untamed essence of the mountains, where tea trees coexist with mosses, orchids, fungi, and wild vines.

Aroma & Taste
Softly floral with lingering sweetness. Orchid fragrance leads into a rich and enduring mouthfeel. A gentle bitterness may be present, but it's quickly overtaken by a lasting huigan (returning sweetness).

Origin & Ecology
Jingmai’s pristine environment—rich soil, dense forest canopy, and interwoven plant roots—nurtures tea trees that have never been dwarfed or pruned. This unique biodiversity contributes to the depth and purity of its flavor.

Craft & Tradition
Harvested and processed using traditional sun-drying and stone-pressing methods. Every cake embodies the resilience of century-old trees and the spirit of the Dai and Bulang people who cultivate them.

Dry Leaf Appearance
Dark, wiry strips with visible buds. Compression is tight but not harsh, preserving the leaf’s integrity for aging.

🌿 Recommended For:
Connoisseurs seeking a classic Jingmai profile—floral, mellow, and resonant. Ideal for those who appreciate depth without aggression in their Sheng Pu-erh.
