翡翠象牙茶 | Jade Ivory Tea — Ancient Tree White | Limited Edition

The Ancient Tree shaped by the forest, not by process.

Grown deep within Yiwu’s protected forest, this tea comes from ancient arbor trees rising through dense canopy. Only single buds (单芽) are selected, large, full, and covered in fine white down.

The leaf is slowly withered, then naturally dried in a clean environment without direct sunlight. No rolling. No shaping. No heavy intervention. Only time, air, and careful transformation.

The result is defined by restraint. The clarity of white tea. The depth of ancient tree material. The structure of a forest-grown leaf.

The first steep is quiet, a clean wild honey sweetness (野蜜). The second opens into soft orchid notes (兰香), lifted and integrated into the body. By the third steep, a fresh forest wood sweetness settles into the finish and remains.

This is a tea that opens slowly. Six to ten steepings, each one deepening the structure. Each one revealing more of the forest it comes from.

From Yiwu State Forest, where ancient trees grow without cultivation. Only a small number of buds are harvested each season. This is that selection.

Limited production. Single origin. Single bud.
