Jingmai Xunxiang

The name "Jingmai Xunxiang" translates to Searching for the Flavour of Jingmai, and is a fitting title for a tea that reflects the true taste of this mountain and its forests. The brew is smooth and mellow, with a gentle lingering sweetness. The aroma is complex, with floral and orchid-like notes.

Jingmai Mountain

Jingmai Mountain is home to one of the oldest and most culturally significant tea ecosystems in China. Its five ancient tea forests, located in the Simao (Pu’er) region of Yunnan, were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023. Local communities have cultivated these forests for generations, while avoiding large-scale industrial farming.
