About Nannuo:

Nannuo loose leaf is one of our rarest old growth puer teas. Nannuo Mountain has an elevation of 5,200 feet above sea level and is the site of some of the oldest and largest planted tea trees which grow side by side with the wild plants of the forest. The oldest of these trees is the 800-year-old “King of Tea Trees.”

The Hani people live in a village of 560 households. They are descendants of the ancient Qiang people, a nomadic tribe from the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. They are famous in Xishuangbanna for their tea-harvesting and producing abilities.

Ingredients: Old growth tea leaves.
