This tea comes from the border of Fengqing & Changning County by Lancang River. There are less than twenty of these tea trees left in this area, hence the Chinese name of the tea. The trees are ancient and enormous, more than 20meters high. Tea trees like this are precious and full of history. They are estimated to be 700-800 years old. Once harvested the leaves are charcoal roasted.
