Earth Spirit (Jingmai Pu'er) is a beautiful Black Tea (Hei Cha) from Jingmai Mountain, Yunnan Province with a earthy, woodsy taste and a smooth, mellow mouthfeel.

Like all of our teas, we only source the "Grand Cru" version of Earth Spirit (Jingmai Pu'er) through our exclusive relationships with the most sought after tea farmers in China.

About Earth Spirit

"Earth Spirit" is one of our favorite Pu'er teas. It is from Jingmai, an area filled with forests sporting a very unique microbial environment. Moreover, all the teas from Jingmai are grown amongst fruit trees, giving "Earth Spirit" a fruitier flavor profile compared to most Pu'er teas.

Consequently, "Earth Spirit" may be one of the most mysterious and unexpected Pu'er teas that we carry. In particular, the start of the cup is vastly distinct from the end of the cup. Think of it like a subtle journey through different layers of earthiness and forest.
