Wild Trees

Most tea comes from waist-high bushes on plantations. These teas are different. The leaves come from ancient trees growing wild in forests, some with trunks you cannot wrap your arms around. Their roots reach deep into the soil, and that depth shows up in the cup. The flavor is deeper and longer lasting than anything from a plantation bush. What does that taste like? Most wild tree tea in this collection is pu-erh, a style that tastes earthy, full, and evolving.

What makes wild tree tea worth trying is the texture. It fills your whole mouth. There is a thickness you simply do not get from younger plants, and every cup brings out something new. If you are curious about pu-erh, our sheng pu-erh collection is a good starting point. Our ancient tree tea guide explains what to look for and why these teas are so highly valued.
