Raw Pu'er is an unfermented tea made from Yunnan's large-leaf tree varieties. While its fresh profile may recall green tea, Raw Pu'er excels in both aroma and texture, and is renowned for its remarkable aging potential.

Sourced from an ancient, 500-year-old tea garden atop Wuliang Mountain, our 2021 Bolin Raw Pu'er thrives at an elevation of 2,200 meters (7,200 feet) in an almost untouched setting. Enveloped in year-round mist and enhanced by the neighboring forest, this once unattended garden had allowed its tea trees to grow wild for over 50 years. These tall ancient trees are the same variety as the esteemed 'King of Tea Trees' in Bingdao. This precious garden is harvested only in spring, leaving the trees to grow freely for the rest of the year.
Our Raw Pu’er benefits from the sun-drying processes executed to exacting standards, utilizing high-heat fixation techniques to preserve the active compounds to the maximum.

This unique provenance imbues the tea with extraordinary quality. It possesses outstanding aging potential while being exquisite as a young tea. The infusion releases complex aromas of prune and wood, heralding a sweetness that resembles rock sugar, complemented by a transient hint of bitterness. The texture is a refined thickness, and its lingering aftertaste is salivating and minty, reminiscent of a gentle breeze in the remote mountains where the tea is from.
