Primal Secret Realm:
Located in the Yiwu National Nature Reserve, Yunnan, bordering Laos, at an altitude of 1600-1800 meters. With over 90% forest coverage, ancient wild trees grow intertwined with tea trees, creating a unique ecological environment.

Treacherous Tea Route:
It takes a 7-8 hour trek from Guafeng Village to reach the Tea King Tree garden. The journey crosses mountains and rivers, with snakes and insects along the way. Tea leaves must be processed onsite and carried back by hand.

• Red soil and gravel: Weathered granite soil rich in minerals. Tea roots penetrate deep into rock crevices, imparting a distinctive rocky flavor to the brew.
  ☑ Dry leaves: Tightly twisted, shiny black strips, fat buds with visible white hairs, heavy and dense like iron.
  ☑ Liquor color: Golden and bright, with a viscous film forming threads.
  ☑ Flavor:

  • Top notes: Wild honey sweetness mingled with fresh matsutake mushroom aroma

  • Mid notes: Exploding orchid fragrance, with a tea qi like soft velvet touching the bones

  • Finish: Rock honey sweetness, throat cooling like glacier spring water

Yao Tea Ancestor:
Legend has it the Tea King Tree is the incarnation of a golden deer raised by the mountain god. The tree trunk once required three people to encircle, and its roots grow over unique stones.

Tea Harvest with Life at Stake:
Yao people must traverse areas filled with poisonous snakes and wild beasts to pick tea, hence it is called "tea exchanged with life." Every leaf carries deep reverence for nature.
