Nestled in the verdant hills of Yunnan province, China, Yunnan Large Leaf Tea has a rich and storied history dating back centuries.

The large-leafed tea trees, which are indigenous to this region, thrive in the fertile soils and温和的气候, producing leaves that are prized for their rich flavor and high quality. The traditional process of crafting Yunnan Large Leaf Tea involves meticulous steps of plucking, killing the enzymes through heating (known as 'killing green'), rolling, drying, sorting, blending, and finally stacking the tea leaves to achieve a harmonious blend.
