Deep from the mountainous regions of Yunnan province in southwestern China, where thick fogs shroud ancient tea trees in mystery, also originates Shu Pu-erh tea “Book of Changes”. The fertile, mineral-rich soils and subtropical climate here create ideal conditions for the growth of tea bushes, from which the world’s most prized Pu-erh teas are made. According to legend, Pu-erh tea was discovered by chance when merchants noticed that tea cakes, aged in a humid environment during long journeys, acquired a new, richer flavor. This mystical region, where time seems to slow down, has given us a tea that evokes peace and contemplation, carrying centuries of history and the power of nature.
