Yubai and William run two family gardens between 1500m and 1600m altitude: an old garden with century-old tea bushes, and a younger one with 40-year-old tea bushes on average in the heart of the Jingmai mountains renowned for their pu er teas.
Yubai is originally from Jingmai, a Dai village located in the Jingmai Mountains in the south of Yunnnan Province, in Pu er County on the border of Xishuangbanna. And William, an agricultural engineer of French origin, met her in Jingmai and stayed to accompany her in this tea-making adventure.
They have a factory where they both process the tea from the 2 allotments, and they also buy leaves from other producers in the village.
