Laomudeng Tea

Many people think that Yunnan only produces Pu'er tea and Dianhong black tea. In fact, like other provinces, Yunnan has a wide variety of teas. It's just that Yunnan Pu'er and Dianhong are so famous that they have become iconic teas of the province.

Laomudeng Tea is a type of long-fired green tea processed using traditional methods. It’s called “Laomudeng” because this tea is produced in Laomudeng Village, Pihé Township, Fugong County, Nujiang Prefecture. It is also a specialty tea named after its place of origin.

Laomudeng in Pihé Nu Ethnic Township, Fugong County, is located in the middle section of the Nujiang Grand Canyon, on the mountainside west of Biluo Snow Mountain, at an altitude of 2,000 meters. From here, looking west toward Gaoligong Mountain, the view extends to the ranges of Gaoligong Mountain on the western side of the Nujiang River—layer upon layer of towering, majestic peaks, with the rugged mountains appearing vast, mysterious, and awe-inspiring. Due to Laomudeng’s high altitude, abundant rainfall, fresh air, distinct seasons, and fertile land, the tea produced here is uniquely distinctive and renowned both in China and abroad.
