On top of Bulang Shan. People are not too sure but these Pu-Erh trees are over 1500 years old, and who’s counting? Maybe 1800 years or more. The leaves are palm size, and the tops are 25 or 30 feet tall. How long do these trees live? Camellia Sinensis, an incredible plant of longevity, also gives longevity to those of us who can’t live without it.
How can this be called anything but Camellia Sinensis Pu-Erh? The original tea of the world, a world treasure.

Fuding is the home of white tea. Here is where people may stop me and argue that white tea is a process of airdrying some leaf buds and therefore, can be made anywhere….
