Terroir & Climate
At 1,313 metres above sea level in Pu'Er City, estates typically experience the warm subtropical climate and distinct wet-dry seasonality characteristic of southern Yunnan. This elevation generally sits within the mid-altitude range for the region, where cooler night temperatures and persistent cloud cover during the monsoon months tend to moderate photosynthesis and encourage slower leaf maturation compared to lower-lying gardens.
Pu'Er City's latitude of approximately 23°N places it within the tropics, where year-round warmth allows for extended or even year-round plucking in some areas. Estates at this altitude in Yunnan often benefit from well-distributed rainfall and red or yellow soils that support vigorous vegetative growth, though the precise terroir will vary with aspect, slope and local microclimate.
Tea Produced
The estate produces green, oolong and black teas. Yunnan greens from mid-altitude gardens often yield a rounded, slightly sweet cup with gentle vegetal notes, while oolongs from this region can range from floral and light to more oxidised and honeyed, depending on processing. Black teas from Pu'Er City estates typically display malty or cocoa-like characteristics with moderate astringency, though individual batch profiles will vary with cultivar, season and manufacture.
Operator
The estate is operated by Hunan Yiqingyuan Everspring Tea Co., Ltd. No other estates operated by this company are currently recorded in our directory.
Certifications & Ethics
