Youle Huangshancha Forest Puer Tea is cultivated in the ancient forests of Youle Mountain, where century-old tea trees grow in harmony with the lush natural surroundings. The leaves are carefully handpicked by local farmers during the early spring harvest, ensuring they retain their vibrant flavor and aromatic properties.

After harvesting, the leaves are withered under natural sunlight to reduce moisture and then gently pan-fired to halt oxidation. The tea is either sun-dried and pressed into cakes for sheng (raw) puer or undergoes a fermentation process for shu (ripe) puer. Both methods capture the essence of Youle Mountain’s unique terroir while allowing the tea to age and develop complex flavors over time. This meticulous process embodies centuries of Yunnan’s tea-making heritage. Discover more about our commitment to traditional tea craftsmanship on our About Us page.

How to Spot Premium Youle Huangshancha Forest Puer Tea
High-quality Youle Huangshancha tea is characterized by large, intact leaves with a vibrant green hue for sheng puer or a dark, glossy appearance for shu puer. The dry leaves should emit a fresh, earthy aroma with floral and forest-like undertones. When brewed, the liquor should be a clear amber or deep reddish-brown, depending on the type of puer. The taste should be smooth, layered, and free of bitterness, reflecting the tea’s expert processing and natural origin. For more tips on identifying premium teas, visit our Help Center.
