TEA CULTURE
Nestled in the verdant hills of Yunnan province, China, Yunnan Large Leaf Tea has a rich and storied history dating back centuries. Known colloquially as "big-leaf tea," it has been an integral part of the region's tea culture since its inception. The earliest recorded production of this distinct variety can be traced to the 1980s, particularly at the Lincang Tea Factory, where skilled artisans crafted the tea from the exceptional cultivar found in Bangdong, a region renowned for its superior tea leaves.

Yunnan, a province blessed with diverse terrains and ideal climatic conditions, has long been revered as a paradise for tea cultivation. The large-leafed tea trees, which are indigenous to this region, thrive in the fertile soils and温和的气候, producing leaves that are prized for their rich flavor and high quality. The traditional process of crafting Yunnan Large Leaf Tea involves meticulous steps of plucking, killing the enzymes through heating (known as 'killing green'), rolling, drying, sorting, blending, and finally stacking the tea leaves to achieve a harmonious blend.
