🌿 The Legend of Xiangzhulin
The name “Xiangzhulin” (Fragrant Bamboo Grove) originates from ancient tales of tea farmers discovering rare tea trees within misty bamboo forests in Yunnan. Although the fragrant bamboo has nearly vanished due to historical logging, the ancient tea trees remain, carrying the forest’s lingering fragrance and earning Xiangzhulin the title “Fragrant Concubine of Tea.”

• Yearly average temperature: 14°C; Annual rainfall: 946mm; Misty environment with high day-night temperature differences, enhancing tea’s inner richness.
• Grows in rare red-brown soil rich in minerals and humus, giving the tea a golden, mellow body.
