YUNNAN RED TEA - 2025 Ancient Spirit Wild Ancient Tree

I would say that this is one of the finest and richest Yunnan Red Tea we have stocked so far. Ancient Spirit Wild Ancient Tree Red Tea has received numerous prestigious awards in both China and the UK, including recognition at the Leafies International Tea Awards 2025.  

This tea is made with spring harvested leaves sourced from wild tea tree varietals which are very old with deep root system and rich in internal substances, grown in a environment that is entirely natural, pristine, and exceptionally well-situated, preserving natural flavours. 

The glossy black, strong natural lustre dry leaves release rich tropical fruity like aroma and persistent wild honey sweetness, layered over a base of woody and wild herbal notes. Tea liquor is bright red, clear with an obvious oily sheen. On the palate, it offers a natural plant-based sweetness, a mellow yet rich profile, and a silky, smooth texture.  

Exceptionally enduring, the tea performs beautifully across many infusions, remaining fragrant and sweet for an extended time, with a slow, smooth, and gradually decline. 

This is tea has earned multiples honours, including Gold Award for Black Tea of China 2025 at the Leafies International Tea Awards.  "Golden Prize Tea King" at the 4th china Tea Olympics; Collected by the China Tea Museum, serving as dual endorsements of its outstanding quality. 

Tea is packaged in the supplier's original red tin, which is suitable for long-term storage and can also be used for continued aging and maturation of the tea.
