Old Growth Tea Trees:  Yunan has the best tea ecological environment in the world. Many tea trees grow vigorously in the wild forest. Some of them are over 100-yrs old. We call them “Old Growth Tea Trees”. Their roots grow deep into the soil, absorbing more minerals from the soil than younger tea trees. Their branches reach into the sky and absorb lots of sunlight. The microbial community in the wild forest has been growing healthy with these tea trees for hundred of years. These old growth tea trees do not require the use of pesticides or fertilizer.
