A quiet, golden afternoon captured by the wild roots of a forgotten forest.

Wild Orchid Breeze, Lan Yun Ye Hong, is crafted from ancient, wild tea trees growing in the Jingmai region of Yunnan. Unlike the cultivated rows of commercial tea gardens, these trees have grown in their own time, in their own direction, drawing minerals from the same mountain soil that produces the great rock oolongs of the region. Processed through traditional red tea methods, the result is a tea of unusual refinement and character.

Wild Forest Tea Garden

Sourcing & Terroir: Wild Forest Tea Garden This tea grows naturally within an untouched, state-protected forest ecosystem, interplanted alongside canopy trees, native shrubs, and wild flora.

Zero Human Intervention: Grown naturally in the wilderness without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or artificial soil treatments.

Protected Mountain Ecology: Harvested responsibly from protected forest zones that safeguard regional biodiversity and soil health.

The Dry Leaf

Naturally long, varied, dark wild leaf strips emitting a complex aroma of forest brush, raw honey, and roasted nuts.

The Soup

A warm, luminous amber broth with exceptional clarity and a beautiful, thin golden rim.

Fragrance & Palate

The fragrance arrives slowly and with confidence: roasted hazelnut and malt in the opening, warming into vanilla, then a soft, clean chamomile that drifts across the palate like late afternoon light. Dried apricot emerges beautifully in the middle steeps, adding a subtle stone-fruit tang. Beneath it all lies a faint mustiness and a hint of salt, the true signature of wild, untended trees.

Spiritual Character

The Energy: Mild, warm, and highly intellectual. It encourages clear observation, unhurried thinking, and a sense of absolute alignment.

The Hour: Tailored for highly refined, quiet hours when you can devote your full attention to a sophisticated, slow-moving session.

Lineage & History Lan Yun Ye Hong is a rare, elite red tea crafted from the uncultivated wild tea tree population Yunnan. Unlike manicured garden teas, these leaves grow in their own time and direction. Using classic red tea methodologies, withering, rolling, monitored oxidation, and a charcoal finishing dry, artisans coax the wild leaf into a sophisticated, highly intellectual profile of roasted hazelnut, vanilla, and clean chamomile.

Terroir & Microclimate This tea is sourced from the ancient, biodiverse ecological area surrounding Jingmai Mountain in Yunnan, at an elevation of 1,400 meters. The small-tree cultivars grow beneath a towering, multi-layered old-growth forest canopy. Rooted in sandy, mineral-rich soil and wrapped in mist, the plants endure dramatic diurnal temperature swings, coaxing out extraordinary complexity, from sweet dates and orange syrup to saffron and smoky wood.

Wild, untended leaves possess a deep-set structural integrity that unfolds best under focused, controlled temperatures. Avoid a violent rolling boil.
