Honey Orchid
Wild Tree Sheng Puerh 2024
- Description
- Brewing Instructions
Honey Orchid comes from old-growth, wild, large-leaf trees at an altitude of 1760- 2000m. The wild trees, combined with trees planted roughly a century ago, yield this stunning puerh with flavors of wild honey, fresh woodsy citrus rind, aromatic herbs and mellow floral notes. The energy is clean, strong and settling. Clean, elegantly bittersweet, dreamy fragrance and gradual smoothness after the third infusion with a sweet aftertaste. This is young puerh the way we love it- fresh, complex, clean, patient and medicinal. .
We received this tea from a family-owned small business, established in 1931. Their tea mountains were confiscated by the communist government in the early 50's. Fifty some years later, in 2006, Yiwei Chen, the son of the founder, and his daughter Weiqing Chen, revived the abandoned tea mountains and resumed their family business. They own a total of more than 2,800 high-quality wild tea trees, most of which are at least a couple hundred years old. These trees have been growing in the biodiverse Menghai region of Yunnan, which has an ideal climate for tree growing. All Chenxi teas are made by hand using the traditional method. The family motto is: Be an honest person and make the best tea. We’re grateful to share their beautiful teas with you.
Origin: Bada Mountain, Yunnan, China

Benefits of Puerh Tea
For thousands of years, Puerh has been the best multi-functional beverage you've never heard of.
Stress Relief
Puerh tea contains the phyto-chemicals GABA and theanine, which have been attributed to lower stress levels. These phyto-chemicals increase the production of melatonin, which can aid in better sleep and a calmer demeanor throughout the day.
Calm Energy
Thanks to the caffeine in Puerh tea, drinking a cup a day can help to increase your energy levels and focus. Every 8-ounce cup of Puerh contains about 60 to 70 milligrams of caffeine, and the naturally-occurring polyphenols in tea slow the release of caffeine in the body. (Read: No 2pm crash.) Compared to the 105 milligrams in a standard cup of coffee, this makes Puerh a good choice for people who find themselves too jittery after just one cup of coffee.
Increased Immunity
Puerh tea is high in antioxidants, vitamin C, and disease-fighting
catechins. Since Puerh is fermented, it has higher concentrations of these antioxidants than non-fermented teas, supporting your body's ability to maintain high levels of immunity and overall well-being.
Reduced Inflammation
Puerh contains high levels of polyphenols (flavonoids, catechins and theaflavin), which are not only known for their antioxidant activity, but their anti-inflammatory properties as well.
Healthy Gut Microbiome
Because Puerh is fermented, it contains probiotics that when consumed regularly, contribute to a balanced and robust gastrointestinal (GI) system. By regularly drinking Puerh tea, you can help maintain healthy flora throughout your digestive system.
