Yunnan Wuliang Mountain Ancient Tree Sticky Rice Scented White Tea (50g)

Experience the enchanting aroma of the Yunnan highlands with this premium Sticky Rice White Tea. Harvested from the pristine wilderness of the Wuliang Mountains, this unique blend marries the delicate, sun-dried character of ancient tree white tea with the comforting, sweet fragrance of wild "Nuomi Cao" (sticky rice herb).

Unlike flavored teas that use artificial oils, this tea undergoes a traditional "Xun Zhi" (scenting) process. The fresh tea leaves are carefully layered with the wild herb, allowing them to naturally absorb the savory-sweet aroma that mimics the scent of steaming sticky rice. The result is a brew that is remarkably mellow, naturally sweet, and deeply soothing, offering a rare taste of ancient tea culture.

Key Benefits

Ancient Tree Harvest:** Sourced from large, ancient tea trees in the Wuliang Mountain region. These trees are often so tall they require farmers to climb them manually to harvest the fresh leaves, ensuring a depth of flavor that younger bushes cannot replicate.

Natural Herb Scenting:** Infused with wild-grown sticky rice herb (Semnostachya menglaensis) to create a distinct "Natural sticky rice fragrance" without the use of artificial additives or actual rice grains.

Exceptional Durability:** Thanks to the robust nature of ancient tree leaves, this tea is "more mellow, sweeter, and more durable" than standard varieties. It supports multiple steepings, with the sweet, glutinous aroma persisting through several infusions.

Limited Production:** Due to the difficulty of harvesting from wild ancient trees and the intricate scenting process, this tea "cannot be mass-produced," making each batch a limited treasure.

High-Quality Leaf:** The leaves are processed to remain "complete, fresh, and vivid" after brewing, showcasing the integrity of the raw materials used.
