In Yunnan Province, wild tea is commonly the mountain tea known as Camellia taliensis, a closely related species to the more familiar Camellia sinensis. This tea has a preference for sub-alpine zones and is typically found in areas with elevations ranging from 2200m to 2400m.
The authentic wild tea is the wild tea tree found in the mountain, and it is not a type of tea tree grown by human. Nowadays, there are many wild teas available in the market, it's the type of tea called Camellia taliensis, which is grown as a garden tea.
The authentic Wild tea gives deeper aftertaste, with clear drinking sensation and an intense flavor reminiscent the fresh tree bark in forest. It ages well, especially with Malaysia weather. After aging, tea gives an sweet note like wild raw honey with multi-layer of dried fruity note like raisins and dates.
