Lancang Ancient Tea
Lancang Ancient Tea is a specialty of Lancang County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. It boasts a unique aroma, bright red liquor, and excellent quality.
Lancang is one of the birthplaces of tea trees and the homeland of Pu'er tea, boasting a long and splendid tea culture. The region is home to the Jingmai-Mangjing ancient cultivated tea garden covering tens of thousands of acres with over 1,300 years of planting history, as well as the thousand-year-old transitional-type Da Cha (big tea tree) in Bangwei. The Jingmai-Mangjing thousand-acre ancient tea garden is the largest in China in terms of area, with a long planting history and relatively well-preserved artificial cultivation. It has been referred to by scholars both at home and abroad as the "World Tea Tree Museum" and the "Living Fossil of Tea Varieties."
Today, tea production has become a pillar industry in Lancang, with tea plantations covering 360,000 acres, including 28,000 acres of ancient tea gardens. Tea cultivation and production engage 280,000 people from 68,000 farming households, with an average annual tea income of 5,412 yuan per household. During visits to the ancient villages of the Lahu, Dai, and Blang ethnic groups on Jingmai Mountain, reporters observed tea gardens nestled beneath primeval forests, with local tea farmers setting up tea sets at their doorsteps and warmly inviting guests to taste the spring tea they produced.
Lancang Ancient Tea Co., Ltd. is located in Lancang County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. Relying on the Jingmai ten-thousand-acre ancient tea garden, the company owns over 5,000 acres of high-yield, high-quality tea gardens and nine primary tea processing facilities (Bangwei Tea Factory, Mangjing Tea Factory, Zhutang Yunshan No.1 Tea Factory, Zhutang Yunshan No.2 Tea Factory, Fubang Xibing Tea Factory, Donglang Longtan Tea Factory, Muga Habuma Tea Factory, Muga Baladi Tea Factory, and Nuogeng Tea Factory), with an annual processing capacity of over 3,000 tons. It is a comprehensive tea enterprise integrating planting, production, processing, and sales.
The company traces its origins to the Jingmai Tea Factory of the Ancient Tea Mountains in Lancang County, established in 1966. Since its founding, it has relied on the thousand-year-old, ten-thousand-acre ancient tea gardens of Mangjing-Jingmai Mountain and the ancient tea tree clusters in Bangwei as raw materials. With over 40 years of tea planting and processing experience and technology, it produces authentic and pure Pu'er tea, which has a unique aroma, bright red liquor, and excellent quality. In 2005, the Pu'er Municipal People's Government designated Lancang Ancient Tea Co., Ltd. as a leading enterprise in the Pu'er tea industry.
In recent years, ancient tea has gained increasing recognition and acceptance due to its unique flavor, excellent quality, and beneficial health effects. To allow friends from around the world to share in this heritage of human civilization and enjoy the pure aroma condensed from millennia of rainfall, Du Chunyi, Chairman of Lancang Ancient Tea Co., Ltd., along with all staff members, is committed to offering outstanding products to consumers and ancient tea enthusiasts worldwide, drawing on over 40 years of production expertise.
