Sichuan
Sichuan claims one of the oldest tea cultivation histories on Earth, producing Mengding Ganlu and other refined green teas from cloud-shrouded mountains.
Sichuan province has one of the longest tea-growing histories in the world - Mengding Mountain near Ya'an may be the oldest cultivated tea site on Earth, with cultivation tracing back over 2,000 years. Mengding Ganlu (Sweet Dew of Mengding) is the most celebrated tea from this region: a delicate, twisted green tea with notes of sweet dew, orchid, and a remarkably mellow body. Sichuan also produces Zhu Ye Qing (Green Bamboo Leaf) and several dark teas used historically in Tibetan butter tea.
Tea types: Green Tea (2), Black Tea (1), Yellow Tea (1), Dark Tea (2).
