With loose teas, it can be challenging at first. But don't despair, in the following article we will show you that it is not as complicated as it seems.

I'll tell you a tale about old tea trees 🙂 
Once upon a time, several thousand years ago, in the land now called "South of the Clouds," a tea seed sprouted. 
Time passed as usual, and more and more tea plants were born from his seeds. 
The clouds have changed, the people have changed, and the generations of people who have always cared for this tree have changed. Today, this tea tree is visited by people from all over the world.

In this section, I would like to introduce an interesting point of view on the substances contained in tea from trees of different age and in regards to their metabolism. It was originally written by Chinese author Isundust at the www. puer.cn website. I must admit that the author possesses ample knowledge of tea trees and their functioning. In regards to tea plant cultivation, he is emphasizing factors influencing the growth such as shading, temperature, watering, soil composition, use of fertilizers, orientation, and altitude. 

On my journeys throughout China and particularly the Yunnan province (each spring from 2012 to 2019, except 2014), I have come across places with above hundred years old tea trees in the Xishuangbanna region, as well as a thousand and above years old tea trees in Baoshan and Lincang region. Now, I would like to share my experiences and the knowledge gained during my travels and from Chinese books.

This page is dedicated to the art of tea from the Chinese tea tree (Camellia sinensis) and the tea culture, which is widespread in Asia in every aspect of society, and is gradually penetrating the entire world. Drinking tea is similar to the traditional European culture of drinking herbal decoctions, which is, however, associated with traditional medicine, and therefore does not create conditions for social gatherings, as when drinking tea from the Chinese tea tree in Asia.
