The highlands of Yunnan have a mild, subtropical climate even at high altitudes. The slopes are mostly south-facing, and are therefore more heavily influenced by the Indian Ocean and the Pacific.
This tea is grown in southwestern Yunnan at over 1500m in the Lincang region, far from any major cities or industry. The mountainous, wooded area in which the tea garden is embedded is so idyllic that it has been designated a tourist recreation zone. Furthermore, the tea garden was the very first of its kind in China to be accepted as a member of the Rainforest Alliance, which is committed to the sustainable protection of forests and biodiversity. Traditionally, various large-leaf cultivars are grown in Yunnan, some of which go back to very old tea plant and the tea garden itself is home to more than 160 000 trees.
