Think of them as fruits from the same orchard: this tea, from 300 year-old tea trees, is like the ripest fruit from the sunniest branch of 300 year-old ancient trees, more concentrated, richer in juice, and unforgettable in flavour. The standard Ancient Tree version from 100 year-old tea trees, is like a fine, well-grown fruit, sweet, lively, and satisfying. That is the difference brought by careful, tree-by-tree selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laobanzhang, Xishuangbanna, Southwest Yunnan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlush:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 g (3.5 oz) Stone-pressed cake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e the leaves can be stored in their original package or in ceramic vases.
