Of all the tea we sell this is the hardest to source and the hardest to pick. There is a village in Kunlu Shan that isn't even on Google maps. Once you're there you need to hike another 3 kilometers into the mountains to get to these trees. The hike is often steep. You gain 500 meters and it takes more than 3 hours to get there.

Barefoot, only the young and the brave, carefully climb to the top to pick the Spring harvest. There are no ropes, harnesses, or soft landings. It is dangerous work. In an attempt to conserve their strength for the ages these trees each produce precious few buds and new spring growth. A day's harvest for a young eager picker often maxes out around just 2kg of fresh leaf. After roasting and sun drying perhaps half a kilo is all they have to show for the days work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere is not that much material available each year from these trees. We get as much as we can. This is a very unique puerh. The flavor is strong, pure, natural, and noticeably bitter, but with a transcendent chaqi. There is an aroma in the dry leaves that is reminiscent of wild blueberries. Wet aroma is honeysuckle and alfalfa. This is a tea that is hard to define. The aromas are both familiar and mysterious. Everything about this tea is distinct and individual. The profile is at times sharp and distinct. The energy is mentally energizing. It creates a calm, but it is a waking calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe bitterness in this tea isn't off putting.

Barefoot, only the young and the brave, carefully climb to the top to pick the Spring harvest. There are no ropes, harnesses, or soft landings. It is dangerous work. In an attempt to conserve their strength for the ages these trees each produce precious few buds and new spring growth. A day's harvest for a young eager picker often maxes out around just 2kg of fresh leaf. After roasting and sun drying perhaps half a kilo is all they have to show for the days work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere is not that much material available each year from these trees. We get as much as we can. This is a very unique puerh. The flavor is strong, pure, natural, and noticeably bitter, but with a transcendent chaqi. There is an aroma in the dry leaves that is reminiscent of wild blueberries. Wet aroma is honeysuckle and alfalfa. This is a tea that is hard to define. The aromas are both familiar and mysterious. Everything about this tea is distinct and individual. The profile is at times sharp and distinct. The energy is mentally energizing. It creates a calm, but it is a waking calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe bitterness in this tea isn't off putting.

The strong energy in this tea mirrors the strength of dragons in our active imaginations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe present this tea as is. This is pure single origin, high altitude, wild tree puerh. It will not taste like a lot of the puerh out there. Even in Kunlu Shan this tea is unique. It is strong and intense with a very unique bitterness that can linger. The intensity of bitterness will fade with age. Our 2014 has mellowed quite nicely.

Some of the farmers we work with told us that they had discovered a new puerh tea garden hidden in the hills near their village. We've had the opportunity to try the material and we loved it, but we had to see this garden for ourself. We got that opportunity this year and were more than impressed. It's not an easy trek to get out there. We traveled by motorcycle more than an hour. The path was mostly single track, steep, and muddy through tight forest paths. The motorcycles only get you so far. Then we had to hike a few kilometers with a lot of vertical gain. It's a lot of work to get there but the garden is amazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe only way the farmers would take us to see this garden is if we promised not to tell anyone where it is. We will respect their wishes and keep it's location a secret. They allowed us to take video while we were there. There is a link to the video below. Please check it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea in this cake is a single origin, full garden blend. There are young and old trees in the garden and this tea blends all the trees. The material itself is full bodied and thick in the mouth but soft in presentation. There is minimal bitterness and astringency, but if you push it you get a floral experience reminiscent of orchids. The overall character of this tea is on the savory and vegetal side but there is a wild essence that makes it interesting. The tea energy is impressive! This tea is sweet from the early steeps and has a lingering aftertaste. The middle steeps hits your palate like a dark wildflower honey. This is a very enjoyable tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea is a labor of love for the tea farmers involved. It's not easy to get out to this garden and everything they pick needs to be packed all the way back out for processing in town.

Year after year this is one of the most interesting and singularly unique puerh teas that we source. This is a rare puerh. Of all the tea we sell this is the hardest to source and the hardest to pick. There is a village in Kunlu Shan that isn't even on Google maps. Once you're there you need to hike another 3 kilometers into the mountains to get to these trees. The hike is often steep. You gain 500 meters and it takes more than 3 hours to get there. No one there knows how long the trees have been there or anything about their history. When you ask locals the age they simply reply that they are as old as the earth itself. Check out the video below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the north slope of a steep mountain ridge, surrounded by dense forest, these trees reach to the sky. The trees at 20-40 feet tall literally scrape the ceiling of the forest. Impressive does not begin to describe these ancient beings. The Chinese call these trees '高杆'\/gāogān which means \"Tall Pole\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/0437\/files\/2015-Spring-KSSD-Wide-Forest-800x_grande.jpg?10927791457707797572\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese skinny trees often grow in a trio and remain branchless until near the top. Barefoot, only the young and the brave, carefully climb to the top to pick the Spring harvest. There are no ropes, harnesses, or soft landings. It is dangerous work. In an attempt to conserve their strength for the ages these trees each produce precious few buds and new spring growth. A day's harvest for a young eager picker often maxes out around just 2kg of fresh leaf. After roasting and sun drying perhaps half a kilo is all they have to show for the days work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere is not that much material available each year from these trees. We get as much as we can. This is a very unique puerh. The flavor is strong, pure, natural, and noticeably bitter, but with a transcendent chaqi. There is an aroma in the dry leaves that is reminiscent of wild blueberries. Wet aroma is honeysuckle and alfalfa. This is a tea that is hard to define. The aromas are both familiar and mysterious. Everything about this tea is distinct and individual. The profile is at times sharp and distinct. The energy is mentally energizing. It creates a calm, but it is a waking calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe bitterness in this tea isn't off putting. It moves from the mouth to the tongue to the back of the throat and lingers beside the aftertaste. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe named this puerh \"Slumbering Dragon\" because of the visual image of these ancient trees growing so peacefully in the mountains.

The strong energy in this tea mirrors the strength of dragons in our active imaginations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe present this tea as is. This is pure single origin, high altitude, wild tree puerh. It will not taste like a lot of the puerh out there. Even in Kunlu Shan this tea is unique. It is strong and intense with a very unique bitterness that can linger. The intensity of bitterness will fade with age. Our 2014 has mellowed quite nicely. The energy in this tea is quite strong, it will sneak up on you.

Year after year this is one of the most interesting and singularly unique puerh teas that we source. This is a rare puerh. Of all the tea we sell this is the hardest to source and the hardest to pick. There is a village in Kunlu Shan that isn't even on Google maps. Once you're there you need to hike another 3 kilometers into the mountains to get to these trees. The hike is often steep. You gain 500 meters and it takes more than 3 hours to get there. No one there knows how long the trees have been there or anything about their history. When you ask locals the age they simply reply that they are as old as the earth itself. Check out the video below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the north slope of a steep mountain ridge, surrounded by dense forest, these trees reach to the sky. The trees at 20-40 feet tall literally scrape the ceiling of the forest. Impressive does not begin to describe these ancient beings. The Chinese call these trees '高杆'\/gāogān which means \"Tall Pole\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/0437\/files\/2015-Spring-KSSD-Wide-Forest-800x_grande.jpg?10927791457707797572\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese skinny trees often grow in a trio and remain branchless until near the top. Barefoot, only the young and the brave, carefully climb to the top to pick the Spring harvest. There are no ropes, harnesses, or soft landings. It is dangerous work. In an attempt to conserve their strength for the ages these trees each produce precious few buds and new spring growth. A day's harvest for a young eager picker often maxes out around just 2kg of fresh leaf. After roasting and sun drying perhaps half a kilo is all they have to show for the days work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere is not that much material available each year from these trees. We get as much as we can. This is a very unique puerh. The flavor is strong, pure, natural, and noticeably bitter, but with a transcendent chaqi. There is an aroma in the dry leaves that is reminiscent of wild blueberries. Wet aroma is honeysuckle and alfalfa. This is a tea that is hard to define. The aromas are both familiar and mysterious. Everything about this tea is distinct and individual. The profile is at times sharp and distinct. The energy is mentally energizing. It creates a calm, but it is a waking calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe bitterness in this tea isn't off putting. It moves from the mouth to the tongue to the back of the throat and lingers beside the aftertaste. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe named this puerh \"Slumbering Dragon\" because of the visual image of these ancient trees growing so peacefully in the mountains.
