**Centennial Yunnan Wild Tree Dian Hong · Where Timeless Roots Meet Modern Mastery**  

---

### **The Century Symphony**  
🌳 **100 Years of Silent Alchemy**  
Born from wild tea trees aged 100-150 years in Lincang’s mist-veiled mountains, each leaf carries the wisdom of four generations. These guardians of biodiversity thrive at 2,100m altitude, their roots entwined with truffle oaks and wild orchids, forging a terroir SGS-certified to contain:  
- **Polyphenols**: 34.8% (23% higher than plantation teas)  
- **Amino Acids**: 4.9% (surpassing Japanese sencha)  
- **Rare Linalool Oxide**: Imparts natural cinnamon undertones

### **Artisan Chronology**  
✋ **Three Dynasties, One Craft**  
1. **Solar-Term Precision**: Buds hand-plucked during 惊蛰 (Insects Awaken) when sap flows richest  
2. **Stone Cellar Fermentation**: 144-hour oxidation in 14th-century Bai minority stone chambers  
3. **Phoenix Tail Shaping**: Hand-rolled into raptor feather curls to lock in wild honey essence  

📜 **Living Heritage**: Each batch co-created by tea masters from families guarding these trees since Qing Dynasty
