Eastern Leaves

eastern leaves is a project built around the first yunnannese, untouched mountain peak that the two of us fell in love with. a virgin forest that have never been treated with any chemical substance, nor intensively cultivated or exploited in any way. we bought it. eastern leaves owns 30 hectares of wild tea plantation in nannuo mountain, xishuangbanna province, yunnan, that grows naturally in the undergrowth of a centuries old high mountain rainforest. eastern leaves also owns over 200 ancient tea trees, aged between 200 and 500 years old, in pasha mountain, across nannuo valley. both nannuo and pasha mountains have a centuries old tea tradition, and are among the few most precious mountains for the pu’er production, as officially recognized. our tea is fully organic and we interfere as less as possible with the life of our trees. this is the reason why we better call ourselves wild tea trees keepers, than farmers.
