2025 Lunan Sheng Pu'er, Ancient Trees Stone-pressed cake
Harvested in the spring of 2025 from centuries-old trees growing on Lunan Mountain, this Sheng Pu’er captures the quiet vitality and elegance of a land shaped only by time and nature. These ancient trees draw deeply from mineral-rich soils, and in spring 2025 they gifted us a true treasure, remarkable for its purity and profound depth.
From the very first infusion, a fresh botanical bouquet rises, bright and green like a forest after rain, as the leaves release fragrances of pineapple and litchi. The liquor shines pale gold, delicate in appearance, yet alive with vitality. A mild astringency gives way to a lasting sweetness, evocative of wild honey and ripe stone fruit, that lingers long after the sip, coating the palate in mineral clarity.
Delicate floral and herbal notes of angelica root drift through each brew, like morning breeze stirring blossoms in a high mountain. It feels as though you are walking through the forest where this tea was born, where the air is clean, the earth rich, and every leaf carries a quiet story.
Balanced and energetic, this Sheng Pu’er embodies both freshness and depth. Its evolving character hints at the years to come, promising even greater complexity with natural aging.

Our tea production
This tea comes from the tea forest we own in Yunnan, in Nannuo and Lunan/Pasha mountain.
We take care of each leg of the production: from the care of the under-forest until package and distribution.
Generations of masters
Our production is entirely supervised by Yan Kunli, that was born and raised on Nannuo mountain, and in 2007 won the Pu'er Shengpu producer competition for the highest Shaqing skills, among all the Hani minority in Yunnan. He is the master in his craft, and we are proud to have him with us.
