Yunnan is known for its subtropical climate, high altitudes, and forested mountains. Tea grows here at elevations ranging from 1,000 to over 2,000 meters, often among ancient or wild tea trees. The region produces teas with strong body, deep complexity, and excellent aging potential. Traditional methods emphasize minimal intervention and long-term transformation, often involving microbial fermentation and natural storage. Yunnan tea has a bold, earthy profile and often carries significant energy or “cha qi.”
Fujian is one of the most influential provinces in the history of Chinese tea. It features varied terrain, including coastal hills, granite peaks, and forested river valleys. The province is famous for its refined processing traditions and emphasis on aroma and roasting techniques. Fujian’s teas often have a complex bouquet, with floral, mineral, or roasted notes depending on the region and style. Artisanal craftsmanship and traditional baking methods are at the core of the identity of tea from this area.
