More info
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 globally renowned for producing high-quality Pu-erh Tea, some of which comes from ancient wild tea trees (Gushu) that in some cases are over hundreds of 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 famous for their "softness" and the absence of aggressive bitterness. They have a deep floral aroma, a soft and oily texture, and a sweet, lasting aftertaste (huigan).
Aging potential: Often called the "King of the Ancient Tea Mountains," Yiwu Tea is highly valued for its exceptional aging potential. With age, it develops complex notes of honey, camphor, and dried fruit.
Terroir: The area features significant altitude differences and a tropical climate, providing ideal conditions for the tea plant, from wild trees to cultivated gardens.
This tea comes from a family of small producers authorized to harvest tea leaves from century-old trees in the untouched forests of the Yiwu mountains at an altitude of 1600 meters. These forests are immense and fortunately still unspoiled.
