Acerca de
Pu'er City (formerly Simao) gave its name to the entire Pu-erh tea category and served as the historic trading hub on the ancient Tea Horse Road. The Jingmai Mountain area within this region contains one of the best-preserved ancient tea gardens in China, with trees over 1,300 years old growing among the forest canopy. Teas from Jingmai are celebrated for their distinctive orchid-like fragrance and smooth, lingering sweetness. The region also produces Moonlight White, a unique Yunnan white tea with silver buds and dark leaves.
