Manipur Wild Oolong - Old Tree Spirit

The Jewel of the Wild

Manipur—the Land of Jewels—is one of India’s hidden treasures, a land still untouched by much of the modern world. Beyond its misty hills and ancient forests live tribal communities whose traditions have travelled through generations, far from the rush of modern life.

Among these forests, wild tea trees grow quietly, shaped by the soil, rain, and seasons of the land. Their leaves are gathered and crafted by ancient hands, using techniques passed down through generations.

This is more than a tea. It is a small taste of a forgotten world—a story of the forest, the people, and the wild soul of Manipur.

Old Tree Spirit — A Sip of the Wild Soul of Manipur

Born from the ancient wild tea trees of Manipur and crafted by one of the region’s oldest tribal communities, this rare tea carries the soul of the forest in every leaf.

Made using an age-old technique passed down through generations, the cup opens with a vibrant wildness—bright notes of cranberry-like berries intertwined with the delicate tart sweetness of raw jujube. As the journey unfolds, lush fruity accents reminiscent of ripe mango meet a soft veil of honey, creating a beautifully smooth and sweet middle.

A gentle warmth of dry spices emerges, leading into lingering notes of sweet cinnamon. The finish is delicate yet unforgettable, with whispers of fresh sugarcane and subtle citrus leaving behind a uniquely wild sweetness.

A tea shaped by ancient hands, untouched forests, and the untamed spirit of Manipur.
