Da xue shan Pu'er Tea
Where Ancient Trees Meet Alpine Blooms
Experience the exquisite Da xue shan Pu'er Tea, a floral and fruity aromatic treasure from the high-altitude regions of Yunnan. This rare tea combines the essence of ancient trees with the freshness of alpine blooms, offering a truly unique tasting experience.
From the Misty Peaks of Yunnan
Location: Lincang's Da Xue Mountain (23.88°N, 100.02°E), over 2,100 meters above sea level. This pristine environment with 65% virgin forest coverage nurtures tea leaves infused with orchid-like florals and lychee-like sweetness.
Climate: South Subtropical Monsoon climate with cool 16.8℃ days and mineral-rich fog, perfect for developing the tea's complex flavor profile.
Time-Honored Craftsmanship
Ancient Tree Selection
Handpicked from 50+ year wild arbor tea trees, these leaves contain 34% higher amino acids than terrace-grown tea. This richness creates their distinctive crystalline sweetness and vibrant floral bouquet.
High-Altitude Alchemy
The thin mountain air slows leaf maturation, allowing complex aromatic compounds to develop. This unique environment results in a taste profile that harmoniously blends honey-drenched magnolia and sun-warmed apricot skins.
Traditional Sun-Withering
Leaves are spread on bamboo mats under Yunnan's golden sunlight, oxidizing naturally for 8-10 hours. This ancient method preserves the crisp "mountain aura" that defines authentic wild Pu'er tea.
