Description
This high-mountain green tea comes from Guiding County in Qiannan, Guizhou, at around 1580m above sea level. The tea grows in a cool, misty mountain environment shaped by high elevation, low latitude, frequent cloud cover, strong mountain sunlight, and acidic, organic-rich soil. The fresh leaves were picked on April 12, 2026, from Niao Wang Qun Ti Zhong, a local heirloom tea-tree group that gives the tea more natural variation and mountain character than a modern single-cultivar planting. This tea connects to the lineage of Guiding Yunwu Gongcha, a historic Guizhou green tea known through earlier names such as Miao King Tea, Niao Wang Tea, Yangwang Tea, Yunwu Tea, Guiding Yunwu Tea, and Guiding Xueya. The name “Guiding Yunwu Gongcha” was formally adopted by the Guiding County Tea Association in 2006. The dry leaves are tight, fine, curled, green, and visibly downy. The liquor is clear yellow-green, with a tender fresh aroma, bright sweetness, clean vegetal depth, and a soft mountain-mineral finish. Compared with a more standard Guiding Yunwu, this wilderness selection feels more concentrated, textured, and quietly wild.

Shipped in April 2026
