Heritage & Story

Origin Story

Highland Legacy of the Tea Ancestor Black Willow is rooted in the high, misty peaks of Mengding Mountain, Sichuan, recognized as the cradle of Chinese tea cultivation. The terroir, defined by year-round cool temperatures and persistent cloud cover, is ideal for nurturing tea leaves rich in aroma and mineral content. While historically famous for Green Tea, the limited-production Dark Tea specialty benefits directly from the ancient, fertile soil and pristine environment of this imperial tribute land, providing the leaves with the inherent strength required to withstand and perfect the extended post-fermentation process.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Core Craftsmanship

The Art of Microbial Transformation The signature mellow character of Black Willow is achieved through the intricate post-fermentation process unique to Dark Tea. After initial withering, the tea undergoes a controlled piling (Wo Dui) phase, where warmth and moisture activate beneficial microbes. This microbial transformation is key to breaking down harsh compounds, resulting in the tea’s deep color and exceptional smoothness. Despite this rigorous fermentation, skilled artisans ensure the leaves are carefully handled and rolled to maintain the slender, willow-like shape and the integrity of the tender, golden-hued buds that mark its premium quality.
