When entering the old forest, only when seeing tea flowers fallen on the carpet of leaves did you discover that there was a tea forest here.

“Shan” in Chinese means “mountain” or “forest”. This means that this is a typical tea of ​​the mountains and forests. Shan tea buds have a layer of fine, thick hairs. When dried, they turn white like snow, hence the name “snow” tea.

The ancient tea trees are covered with moss and mold. Very few people can climb up here to explore this ancient tea forest.
