An incredibly fantastic raw Pu-erh made from Wild Pu-erh tree leaves that have a dark purple color. This 野生茶 (Wild Tea) is naturally dark in color, and is heavy in anti-oxidants and catechins.

Ye Sheng "野生“ varietal aka "Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze var. assamica (J. Masters) Kitam." is a primeval varietal that pre-dates Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica and is a naturally occurring non-hybridized varietal. Its potency in cha qi arises from its unadulterated nature. It is naturally bug repellent, and grows wild in the forests of Yunnan at an altitude of 1600-2200 meters.

The quality of the leaves and the meticulous processing ensures excellent storage and aging potential. The infused liquor is bright and is almost completely without bitterness. There is a strong full taste in the mouth and a warm stimulating feel in the mouth and body after drinking this tea.

Our Jinggu Wild Tree Purple "Ye Sheng" is very different from other Purple Pu-erh varietals we have offered before. It's heavy and sweet with a flower and fruit aroma. It grows near Ye Zhu Tang village in Jinggu county.
