Welcome to Yunnan, a province in southwest China, where legendary pu-erhs are born. Here, amidst majestic mountains and deep valleys, hidden in dense fogs, ancient tea plantations stretch out. High-altitude landscapes, mineral-rich soils, and a unique microclimate create ideal conditions for the growth of tea trees, which bestow their unique leaves upon the world.
