Direct from the Origin

Small Chrysanthemum Pu‘er Tea Cakes is sourced directly from the renowned tea gardens of Yunnan Province, a region celebrated for its exceptional Pu'er teas. The tea leaves are hand-picked from ancient tea trees, ensuring high quality and rich flavor. These leaves are then meticulously processed and aged to develop their distinctive earthy taste. Chrysanthemum flowers are carefully selected and blended with the aged Pu'er before being compressed into dragon pearl shapes. This traditional method preserves the natural flavors and beneficial properties of both the tea and the flowers, ensuring a premium tea experience.
