Youleshan 2025

Pu’er of the very highest quality – created through the cooperation of Länggass-Tee and Les Feuilles Vertes. Produced in many years of close collaboration with the local tea farmers. Traditionally processed, hand-rolled, and sun-dried.
The tea comes from Youle (Jinuo Mountain), from a secluded valley near the village of Yanuozhai. The small garden, Shuiyuantou, lies at high altitude and is very steep. Well protected from direct sunlight and surrounded by an exceptionally intact flora, several old tea trees have been preserved here. These are wild Xiaoye and Zhongyezhong varieties, meaning trees with small and medium-sized leaves.
Tea from old trees on Youle Mountain is rare; in the 1980s, most of the original stands were cleared and plantations were established. This Youleshan is produced by three brothers from Simao who love tea from Youle but felt it was no longer being well produced. They therefore decided to lease the best tea garden and produce Youle themselves in a traditional manner.
