Product Overview

The iconic 0085 is one of Lancang Ancient Tea’s most celebrated ripe Pu-erh creations — widely regarded as a benchmark for premium ripe Pu-erh, and a flagship recipe crafted since 1999 using spring-harvest ancient tree tea from Jingmai Mountain, one of the world’s most historically significant ancient tea forests and a UNESCO World Heritage List cultural landscape.

Produced only once every two years in limited quantities, each generation of 0085 represents decades of craftsmanship, continuous refinement, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in ancient-tree ripe Pu-erh fermentation.

The liquor is brilliant ruby-red, with a luxurious aroma of aged wood and warm caramel. In the cup, it is rich, velvety, and deeply layered — full-bodied yet elegant, with endless sweetness and the unmistakable long-lasting character unique to ancient tree ripe Pu-erh.

A true collector’s tea — exceptional for drinking now, with remarkable ageing potential for years to come. Crafted not only to be enjoyed, but to be treasured.
