**Wild Monocraft Reserve**  
**Single-Tree Ancient Wild Dian Hong · A Non-Replicable Ecological Epic**  

---

### **Nature's Soloist**  
🌳 **Millennial Whisper**  
Each tin contains leaves from a single 300-500-year-old wild tea tree in Lincang, Yunnan. These untouched botanical relics stand over 15 meters tall with 40㎡ canopies, yielding only 800-1200g of fresh leaves annually, harvested once every five years to preserve ecological balance.  

🔬 **DNA Identity**  
Each tree is genetically mapped, with SGS-certified metrics:  
- **Polyphenols**: 38.7% (vs. 25% in average Dian Hong)  
- **Free Amino Acids**: 5.2% (equivalent to Japanese Gyokuro)  
- **Antioxidant Capacity**: 4× higher than blueberries

### **Artisan Odyssey**  
✋ **One Tree, One Master**  
A single artisan oversees all 12 steps from harvest to finishing:  
1. **Solar-Term Harvest**: Plucking golden buds only at solar noon on the first sunny day after *Lichun* (Spring Commences)  
2. **Bamboo Withering**: 72-hour natural withering on bamboo trays, infused with phyllostachys essence  
3. **Lunar Rolling**: Moon-phase-guided hand-rolling under moonlight, crafting dragon-scale textures  
4. **Volcanic Fermentation**: 83-day slow oxidation in lava caves, forging wild notes of aged leather and candied bergamot
