Yiwu, in the Xishuangbanna production area of Yunnan, is famous for high quality sheng pu'er teas. This pu'er is made from large leaf ancient arbor tea, coming from wild & mature trees rather than pruned plantation bushes. With this in mind, the terroir contributes to a wonderful brewing experience and expressive flavor. Produced in 2000, this sheng pu'er will continue to develop beautiful flavors as it ages.
