Jingmai Spring (April 2018)

Jingmai is a renowned tea mountain in Yunnan, China known for its ancient tea forests – a diverse ecosystem of tea trees and other flora, growing together to form a biodynamic forest. This tea was cultivated in pesticide-free, natural tea forests managed by smallholder farmers in Jingmai.
