The Call of the Mountains To truly understand a cup of tea, you must trace it back to its roots. At Oriental Spirit, we believe that the soul of our tea comes from the earth it grows in. That’s why in the spring of 2025, our team embarked on a journey deep into the pristine, mist-shrouded mountains of Malipo, Yunnan—the legendary birthplace of ancient tea trees.
The 2025 Spring Harvest (Chun Cha) Spring tea, or Chun Cha, is the most prized harvest of the year. After resting through the cold winter, the tea trees push out their first tender buds, bursting with nutrients, natural sweetness, and a vibrant floral aroma. We arrived in Malipo just in time for this sacred window.
Hand-Picked by Local Artisans Navigating the steep, high-altitude terrain of the ancient tea forests is no easy feat. We worked alongside generations of local tea farmers who know these mountains by heart. Every single leaf destined for our Oriental Spirit tins was meticulously hand-picked to ensure only the finest quality. No machines, no shortcuts—just pure, untamed nature and human dedication.
From the Forest to Your Cup This journey reminded us why we started Oriental Spirit. We wanted to bridge the gap between these isolated, mystical mountains and your modern daily life. The 2025 Malipo spring leaves have now been carefully processed and compressed into our signature mini cakes, waiting to release their wild energy into your cup.
Experience the freshness of our 2025 Spring Harvest today.
