Shen Nong Jia Ancient Tree Black Tea is made from the tea leaves of old tea trees aged 200-300 years. The wild tea trees grow naturally in ecological forestry tea gardens without any application of fertilizer and pesticides. Wild tea trees grow more slowly than common garden tea trees. The physical status of these old tea trees makes the black tea produced from them much more typical and original in flavor and taste of the tea that was made in ancient times. With their roots intertwined with the land and the influence of the high mountain climate, these tea leaves contain precious tea polyphenols and minerals. All the flavor and taste come from its purity with nature! It is completely clean from any pollution.
