Organic Ancient Tree Ripened Pu-erh “Jin Tan”: Imperial Tribute Legacy | Cedar-Infused Golden Liquor – Crown Jewel of Jingdong’s Ecological Sanctuary This 2024 harvest tea originates from the core organic sanctuary of Jingdong, Pu-erh, packaged in elegant gift boxes containing 18 stone-pressed discs (5g per disc, 90g net weight per box), each wrapped in traditional cotton paper. Sourced from century-old trees thriving under the “Forest-Cap & Tree-Belt” ecosystem (ancient tea groves sheltered by mountain-top forests and camphor/cypress belts), it embodies the pinnacle of Yunnan’s tea terroir.
Cedar-Kissed Golden Liquor: Velvety texture glides like liquid silk, weaving notes of aged cedarwood, wild honey, and damp forest earth. A lingering sweetness defies expectations of Pu-erh’s intensity, culminating in a “golden throat resonance” – a rare luxury among aged teas.
Time-Released Tea Energy: Post-brewing, warmth radiates from the core – a signature of Jingdong’s high-altitude qi. As it ages (20+ year aging potential), its energy deepens like precious sandalwood, earning the tribute: “A sip of Jin Tan awakens celestial serenity.”
Tribute-Worthy Craftsmanship: Forged through 60-day ancient fermentation in Jingdong’s mist-shrouded valleys, this tea inherits Ming/Qing dynasty tribute techniques. Laboratory tests confirm 40% higher theabrownins than conventional ripened Pu-erh, yielding complexity without roughness – a testament to its “organic sanctuary terroir.”

Sourced from century-old arbor trees in Jingdong’s organic sanctuary (Pu-erh, Yunnan), the tea thrives under a unique “Forest-Cap & Tree-Belt” ecosystem—mountain-top forests provide shade (“cap”), while camphor and cypress belts (“belt”) shield ancient tea groves. Certified organic by China (GB/T 19630-2019) and EU standards, it undergoes zero chemical intervention and is crafted via 60-day ancient fermentation.
