The village of Qianjiazhai is located on Mount Ailao, surrounded by moist evergreen broadleaf forests that spread across an ecologically pristine nature reserve at an altitude above 2000 meters above sea level. Here, the largest and oldest tea tree in the world, standing 25.6 meters tall, has been growing for 2700 years. This area is also home to the world’s largest natural zone of wild tea tree growth.

Master Xiang selected ancient tea trees aged 300 years, of the typical local variety Da Ye Jun, growing at an altitude of 2500 meters above sea level, for this Sheng Puerh. As always, she employed exclusively manual techniques at all stages of production, fully revealing the essence of the unique local terroir.
