Antique Pu'er Tea comes from the original ecological protection forest of ancient tea trees, above two thousand metres of altitude in Yunnan, China. These rare trees have been growing for centuries in the mist of the mountains, far from any intensive farming.
Our tea contains no added flavour and no colour, and is free from pesticide and fertilizer pollution. It is a rare pure natural Pu'er, slowly revealing its taste and colour.
"According to Chinese medicine, Pu'er tea warms and nourishes the spleen and stomach, supports the conversion of food, and is a recognised health tea."
