"Qiaomu Laoshu Bing" Pu-erh tea is crafted from fresh leaves of Yunnan's large-leaf old-growth tea trees, typically pressed into a cake shape. It comes in either raw (sheng) or ripe (shou) varieties and is highly valued by tea enthusiasts for its unique origin, shaped by the region's distinctive climate, soil, and the age of the tea trees.  

The tea is made from old-growth trees, often over 50 years old, with deep-rooted systems that absorb abundant minerals from the soil. This results in tea leaves that are rich in nutrients and deliver a unique flavor profile. The tea is characterized by a pronounced "wild mountain" aroma, often accompanied by floral or fruity notes, offering a complex and lingering taste experience.  

Actual colors of the tea may vary somewhat from pictured. Purchase the smallest amount to try before purchasing larger amounts.
