Four Choices
Old Trees, Chosen at Source
「Real old trees. Hand-picked.」Real old trees — climbed in person, picked tree by tree, leaf by leaf.
Pick the Mountain
Across Yunnan's tea regions — knowing which groves are truly old.
Pick the Tree Age
Only trees over a hundred years old. No plantation, no blends.
Pick the Farmer
Pick honest farmers. Stay for years. That's how the material stays good.
Pick the Craft
Even great old-tree leaf can be wasted by a fast process.
Slow Craft
Slow Craft
「Slower. Better tea.」Good tea takes its time, because some results can only be left to time.
Raw Pu-erh · Light Kill-Green
Light kill-green, stopped the moment it's done — the awe is left to time.
Ripe Pu-erh · Traditional Pile Fermentation
Traditional pile fermentation, naturally aged 3–5 years before release.
Black Tea · Bamboo-Basket Fermentation
Made by a Fengqing father-and-son craft team — about 200 kg a year.
White Tea · Natural Withering
Full shade-drying by moisture loss (≈4–7 days) — almost unheard of in the market.

古大爷 +1 · Lao Tian
And then there's 'Lao Tian' — not on the shelf, but in the stories. Over a year in the mountains, Lao Tian comes across a little: single trees, out-of-print batches, an old farmer's own stash. Never listed, never negotiated, no links — it appears only at the tea table. Not scarcity marketing, just genuinely scarce.
