01Guide

Yunnan's ancient tea forests matter because they show tea as more than agriculture. They are cultural landscapes where tea grows within forest ecology and local ways of life.

For PRIMTEA, Yunnan is not a product limitation. It is a philosophical source. The broader product system will include famous teas from all over China, but Yunnan provides the origin language of ancient trees, mountain time and return to nature.

This page should include a map, photos, tea tree visuals, links to Pu'er pages and clear sources.

PRIMTEA keeps education, product sourcing and cultural interpretation separate: broad tea knowledge can be published as a guide, while harvest, origin and storage claims are confirmed before commercial release.
