First Harvest Wild Red Buds

First Harvest Wild Red Buds – Rare Yunnan Black Tea from Ancient Wild Trees

First Harvest Wild Red Buds is a rare and captivating black tea that embodies the untamed beauty and deep-rooted tea heritage of Yunnan's ancient forests. It's harvested from wild, 100-year-old tea trees growing at elevations over 1, 800 meters in the remote borderlands of southwestern China near Myanmar, and it offers an unforgettable tasting experience rich with complexity, nuance and authenticity.

Each spring, as the mist rises through the high mountain forests, skilled tea foragers climb three-meter ladders to hand-pick only the very first tender buds from these old-growth wild trees. This labor-intensive process yields only a tiny amount of tea, making it an incredibly scarce and treasured micro-lot.
