"Sipping it, the mouth slowly and persistently fills with sweetness; notes of fruit, aged wood, and camphor are the protagonists in the repeated infusions that surprise with every taste."
Yiwu Shan (易武山), or Mount Yiwu, is one of the most prestigious of the 'Six Ancient Tea Mountains' located in the Xishuangbanna prefecture, Yunnan, China. It is renowned worldwide for producing high-quality Pu-erh tea, some of which comes from ancient wild tea trees (Gushu) that in some cases are over a hundred years old.
During the Qing dynasty, Yiwu was the main center for tea production and trade in Xishuangbanna. It served as a starting point for the 'Ancient Tea Horse Road,' where tea was stored and transported as imperial tribute to the Chinese emperor.

Main characteristics of Yiwu Tea:
Aromatic profile: Yiwu Teas are known for their "smoothness" and the absence of aggressive bitterness. They feature a deep floral aroma, a soft and oily texture, and a sweet, lasting aftertaste (huigan).
Aging potential: Often called the "King of Ancient Tea Mountains," Yiwu Tea is highly prized for its exceptional aging potential. Over time, it develops complex notes of honey, camphor, and dried fruit.
Terroir: The area has significant altitude variations and a tropical climate, offering ideal conditions
for the tea plant, from wild trees to cultivated gardens.
This Tea comes from a small producer authorized to harvest Tea leaves from century-old forest trees. This particular lot comes from wild trees over 500 years old that grow at 1600 meters altitude in the pristine forest—a true rarity.
