A Journey Into the forests, villages, and culture behind every cup...

On this immersive journey, we’ll explore both the Six Ancient Tea Mountains—where imperial tribute tea was once harvested—and the Six New Tea Mountains, known today for bold, highland-grown leaves and forest-grown traditions.

Each stop reveals a different facet of Yunnan’s living tea culture, one cup and one story at a time.
