A Pure Gift from Yunnan’s Ancient Tea Forests
Man Nong Village, located in Yunnan’s Xishuangbanna, is an ancient tea paradise where century-old tea trees have flourished for generations. Spanning 483 hectares, it is one of the largest ancient tea gardens in Yunnan. The trees, some over 1,000 years old, grow naturally in their untouched environment, nurtured by generations of Dai, Wa, and Lahu people. These towering trees average 2.5 meters in height, with a base circumference of 0.8 meters.
Historically, Man Nong was a key stop on the Tea Horse Road, where traders gathered to exchange goods. Today, this rich legacy continues in the 2006 Man Nong Ancient Tree Pu'er Tea Cake—a limited edition of only 2,888 cakes, handpicked from century-old trees and stone-pressed using traditional methods. Upon brewing, it reveals a delicate blend of fresh, clean fragrance, honeyed sweetness, and a bold mountain aroma that evokes the purity of Yunnan’s wilderness. Smooth and full-bodied, it offers a deep, lasting aftertaste with a powerful mountain essence that leaves a lasting impression.
This 2006 limited edition tea is a rare connection to nature and tradition. Its evolving flavors make it a prized choice for tea lovers and collectors, growing richer and more complex with time.
