Where does this tea come from?

Sichuan: The Gateway of Ancient Tea Traditions

Nestled between dramatic mountain ranges and lush river valleys, Sichuan is revered as one of China’s oldest tea-producing regions. Here, the legendary Mengding Mountains and sacred Emei Shan cradle tea gardens at elevations above 1,000 meters, shrouded in mist and nourished by mineral-rich soils. This region is renowned for delicate green teas like Mengding Ganlu and Zhuyeqing—praised for their fresh, mellow sweetness and vibrant aroma—as well as rich, chocolaty Sichuan black teas.
