Ecological wisdom in ancient tea forests

On Jingmai Mountain in Yunnan, tea trees flourish in primeval forests, side by side with other trees. Here, the fallen leaves become nutrients, and the canopies provide shade, while mist caresses mountain and forests all year round.

In the Jingmai Mountain area, the wisdom of "understory tea" has been passed down for a thousand years. Almost no tree is ever felled and no forest is ever destroyed, allowing the tea to grow naturally. The tea leaves are imbued with the fragrance of orchids and the freshness of mountains. A sip brings a clear flavor with a sweet aftertaste.

In the face of climate change, people living in the Jingmai Mountain area adhere to ecological planting. There are no neatly arranged tea gardens here, only "breathing" tea forests. What Jingmai Mountain is nurturing is not just tea, but harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
