Origin & Terroir of Raw Puerh (Small Wild Field)
Tea Origin (Xiao Huang Tian, Lincang, Yunnan)
Xiao Huang Tian (Small Wild Field) is a prestigious micro-terroir located in the remote heights of Shuangjiang, Lincang. Characterized by its diverse ecosystem and extreme altitude, this region produces tea with a uniquely "soft" and sweet profile. The tea trees here benefit from significant temperature fluctuations, which slows growth and concentrates the natural sugars and aromatic oils in the leaves.
Our Selection Focus (High-Altitude Elegance)
For our boutique collection, we prioritize aromatic clarity and structural depth. We specifically selected this 2023 vintage for its remarkable "Hou Yun" (throat charm)—a cooling, persistent sweetness that reflects the purity of its high-mountain sanctuary. In a 200g format, it is an accessible benchmark for Lincang’s most elegant mountain character.
