Authentic Pu-erh Tea From Yunnan’s Ancient Mountains

Tea & Leaf brings you the true taste of Yunnan’s ancient-tree Pu-erh tea sourced directly from family farmers, crafted using traditional methods, and delivered worldwide with transparency.

Our journey began in the mountains of Bingdao, Yiwu, Bulang, and Lao Man’e, where old-growth tea trees rise from misty forests and tea is still made the way it was centuries ago. What we tasted there are pure aroma, natural sweetness, and deep mountain energy. This inspired us to create a brand built on honesty and origin.

We partner with farmers, support ecological harvesting, and protect ancient-tree ecosystems through our Fair Harvest commitment. Every tea is hand-picked, sun-dried, stone-pressed, and naturally aged. Never industrial, never blended, never artificial.

Here, you’ll find raw Pu-erh, ripe Pu-erh, aged vintages, and handcrafted Jingdezhen porcelain & Yixing zisha teapot — thoughtfully curated for clarity, purity, and the stories behind each mountain.

Tea & Leaf is where tradition meets modern tea culture, a place for collectors, connoisseurs, and curious newcomers to experience real Pu-erh, meaningful rituals, and the timeless spirit of Yunnan.

Tea & Leaf was born in the mountains. Not in an office, not in a warehouse, but on the narrow paths of Yunnan, where ancient trees rise quietly from the mist and families craft tea the same way their ancestors once did.

What I found there was more than tea.

It was honesty.
It was heritage.
It was a living connection between the natural, the people, and the culture.

I also learned a difficult truth:

Much of the Pu-erh sold online does not reflect the mountains it claims to come from.

Ancient-tree tea is blended, relabelled, and mass-produced — while the farmers who tend the trees are often unseen and underpaid.

Tea & Leaf was created to change that.

Our mission is simple:

"To preserve the true taste and heritage of Yunnan’s ancient-tree Pu-erh tea by sourcing ethically, crafting traditionally, and sharing transparently. Connecting tea lovers around the world to meaningful, authentic tea experiences rooted in nature, culture, and integrity."

We partner with small family producers, protect old-growth forests, and document every tea with honesty so you know exactly what is in your cup and where it comes from.

My hope is that each brew brings you the calm, clarity, and connection I felt in those mountains. Together, we continue to honour the natural, the people, and the stories behind every leaf.
