Rattan Tea is a unique variety of Pu’er Tea (普洱茶), grown predominantly in the tea regions of Yunnan (云南). It is named after its distinct appearance, where the branches of the tea tree resemble rattan vines. This tea is known for its delicate flavor, aroma, and special cultivation method.
Rattan Tea is easily distinguishable from other varieties of Pu’er Tea due to its tree structure. The tea tree’s branches are thin and long, and they are often covered by rattan-like vines. These vines grow out from the branches, with the lower sections being bare of leaves. Only the tips of these vines carry young buds and leaves, creating a unique and striking appearance.
The cultivation method of Rattan Tea has been developed over many years by tea farmers in Yunnan, who have shaped the growth of the tree to promote the development of these vines. The resulting tea has a distinct flavor profile, characterized by a sweet, floral aroma and a smooth, rich taste.
Rattan Tea is predominantly grown in the mountainous regions of Yunnan (云南), where the conditions are perfect for its unique growth pattern. The primary cultivation areas include:
Rattan Tea can be found in many parts of Yunnan, especially in the following regions:
Xiaojinggu Township (小景谷乡) in Jinggu County (景谷县)
Taihe Township (太和乡) in Zhenyuan County (镇沅县)
Mengku (勐库)
Dongban Mountain (东半山) in Menghai County (勐海县)
Xigui in Bangdong Township (邦东乡昔归)
Yongde County (永德县) in the Lincang (临沧) tea region
These regions are known for their ideal growing conditions, including high altitudes, abundant rainfall, and a mild climate, which together create the perfect environment for Rattan Tea trees.
Rattan Tea stands out because of its unusual cultivation and processing methods. Here are the key characteristics that make Rattan Tea unique:
Rattan Tea trees have very few leaves, and the main trunks and branches are often exposed. These trees produce long, thin, and soft vines that twist around the branches, resembling rattan. The lower sections of these vines are leafless, and only the tips of the branches contain young buds and leaves.
Rattan Tea is known for its mild, sweet flavor with a rich aroma. The tea has a smooth, floral taste with a lingering aftertaste that is both refreshing and pleasant. The flavor profile of Rattan Tea is largely influenced by the unique cultivation method, as well as the age of the trees and the surrounding environment.
One of the most distinctive characteristics of Rattan Tea is its aroma. It has a strong fragrance that is both floral and slightly woody, creating a multi-layered and complex scent. The aroma remains strong even after several brews, which is a hallmark of high-quality Rattan Tea.
Rattan Tea is cultivated using a special management method that focuses on maintaining the health and growth of the tea tree. The trees are carefully pruned, and only the top buds and leaves are allowed to grow. This method encourages the growth of long, strong vines that resemble rattan.
The cultivation method used for Rattan Tea is known as “Leaving the Top Buds to Grow” (留顶养标). In this process, all side buds and leaves are pruned, leaving only the new shoots at the top of the branches. This encourages the growth of longer, stronger shoots and fewer side branches. As the tree grows taller, it produces fewer leaves, but the remaining leaves are more concentrated at the top of the tree.
This method results in a slower-growing tea tree, but it produces tea leaves that are more tender and flavorful. The harvests are also spaced out, with several picking seasons throughout the year.
Rattan Tea is typically harvested three to four times a year, depending on the region and the specific tea tree. The four main harvest seasons are:
First Spring Tea (头春茶): Harvested in early spring, this tea is the most sought-after and has the best flavor.
Second Water Tea (二水茶): Harvested in late spring or early summer, this tea has a milder flavor than the spring tea.
Autumn Tea (谷花茶): Harvested in autumn, this tea is less commonly harvested but still has a good flavor.
Winter Tea (冬茶): Occasionally harvested in winter, this tea is often less robust than the other harvests.
Rattan Tea is not just valued for its unique flavor, but also for its special cultivation and harvesting techniques. The trees are grown in a way that allows the vines to grow long and twist around the branches, creating a unique, almost artistic structure. These vines are not just for appearance, though—they play a crucial role in the tea tree’s ability to grow taller and produce better tea leaves.
The “dancing” characteristic of Rattan Tea, where the vines sway in the wind, adds to its appeal. This movement creates a sense of life and vitality within the tea garden. The appearance of the trees—intertwined with vines and swaying in the breeze—resembles a dance, which is why Rattan Tea is sometimes called “Dancing Ancient Tree Tea” (舞动古树茶).
The regions where Rattan Tea is cultivated have several advantages that contribute to its high quality. These include:
The high altitudes, cool temperatures, and misty conditions of Yunnan provide the perfect environment for Rattan Tea to thrive. The region’s unique terrain—mountainous with varying elevations—creates microclimates that allow the tea to grow in a variety of conditions, from cooler, foggy areas to sun-exposed hillsides.
The soil in these regions is rich in nutrients, which contribute to the tea’s robust flavor. The natural fertility of the land, combined with the careful cultivation practices, allows for healthy tea trees that produce high-quality leaves.
The use of traditional cultivation methods, such as hand-picking and pruning, ensures that Rattan Tea is harvested in the most optimal way. These methods preserve the integrity of the tea tree and allow the natural flavors of the tea to develop fully.
Rattan Tea (藤条茶) from Yunnan is a unique and highly prized tea, known for its distinctive vine-like branches, rich flavor, and the special cultivation practices that go into producing it. The combination of ideal growing conditions, traditional methods, and careful harvesting results in a tea that is both flavorful and aromatic. For tea enthusiasts looking for something unique, Rattan Tea offers an unforgettable experience.

We will experience the vibrant diversity of ethnic costumes, the elegance of traditional qipaos, and the fluid beauty of Hanfu.
We will also indulge in the distinctive cuisines of China—from the bold and spicy flavors of Sichuan cuisine to the delicate tastes of Suzhou dishes, from the savory Northwestern noodles to the fresh coastal seafood. Each bite reflects the region’s culture and history. Through this journey, we will gain a deeper understanding of the profound and timeless allure of Chinese culture.
Profile in Chinese
我出生于1999年,今年26岁,毕业于四川乐山师范学院。作为狮子座,我性格开朗、乐观,对生活充满热情,兴趣广泛且充满活力。闲暇时,我热衷于摄影、旅游、登山徒步和越野,喜欢在日落时分静心感受大自然的美丽。每次抵达一座新城市,我总是迫不及待地去探索那些藏匿于巷弄的小众景点,挖掘当地的特色美食,邂逅新的人和事,体验当地的风土人情。我喜欢尝试新的事物,不断拓宽视野,捕捉生活的美丽瞬间。
我在工作中目标明确,决断力强,拥有丰富的策划、组织与领导经验。从毕业至今,我从事过多个行业,积累了丰富的高端咨询经验和大型政府项目的外事接待经验。我帮助确定品牌在旅游市场中的独特价值和形象,并通过Facebook、TikTok、Instagram等平台进行策划推广。我制定了品牌的发展战略,明确了长期和短期目标,并研究旅游市场的动态,包括市场规模、增长趋势、竞争对手情况等。我还分析了同类旅游产品在不同季节的销售情况,并针对不同气候设计出热门产品,以更好地满足目标客户的需求。
通过对市场趋势的分析,我帮助品牌进行策划与执行,确保每一项决策都符合市场需求并能够提升品牌竞争力。我的工作也包括为品牌定位、制定策略,并分析市场的各类数据,确保品牌在目标市场中的领先地位。
在我的职业生涯中,我还担任云南锡林山茶叶有限公司的负责人,全面掌握茶叶的生产过程。从源头到终端,我对云南普洱茶的全流程了如指掌,熟悉普洱茶的四大核心产区:西双版纳、临沧(被誉为“天下茶仓”和“茶树基因库”)、保山以及被列入世界遗产名录的景迈山。我严格把控每一道工序,确保茶叶的色香味形都达到最佳状态。此外,我还具备敏锐的品鉴能力,能够精准识别茶叶的优劣。
在这崭新的一年,我特别高兴能够与大家相识。未来,让我们携手一起揭开中国各地绝美风光的神秘面纱。我们将领略绚丽多姿的民族服饰,体验典雅端庄的传统旗袍和飘逸灵动的汉服之美。我们将品尝大江南北独具特色的美食,感受中国文化的独特魅力。从麻辣鲜香的川菜到精致细腻的苏帮菜,从独具风味的西北面食到原汁原味的沿海海鲜,每一口都凝聚了地域文化的精髓。通过这一程所见、所闻、所尝,我们将深刻感受中国文化的源远流长与博大精深。
I am Sarah, Chinese Name Zhuo Ling (卓玲), and I have been deeply involved in the luxury inbound tourism industry for many years, always focusing on creating unique travel experiences for discerning VIP clients from Europe and America like you. With years of industry experience, I possess not only solid professional knowledge and extensive hands-on experience but also a precise understanding of the high-end travel needs and preferences of European and American clients.
I am an expert in customized travel. To provide you with deeper and more distinctive journeys, I have conducted in-depth research and am familiar with the most top-tier travel destinations across China.
Take Yunnan as an example, which is a captivating place. You can stroll through the ancient town of Lijiang, experiencing the ancient Naxi culture with its cobbled streets and traditional Naxi dwellings, where you can almost hear the echoes of history; at Erhai Lake in Dali, the clear waters mirror the majestic Cangshan Mountain, where you can cycle along the lakeside and enjoy a relaxing time.
Yunnan’s ethnic culture is rich and colorful, with traditional ethnic clothing being one of its treasures. You can experience wearing the beautiful Dai or Bai ethnic costumes and feel the unique cultural charm of different ethnic groups. The cuisine is also a must-try, such as crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, where the delicious broth paired with a variety of ingredients offers a delightful experience in every bite. Additionally, lemongrass grilled fish, with its unique fragrance, will immerse your taste buds in a wonderful culinary journey.
If you love outdoor activities, I will arrange an extraordinary experience for you to climb Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, where you can challenge yourself while enjoying the breathtaking snow-capped mountain scenery.

For those who enjoy elegant sports, Yunnan has many international-standard golf courses where you can freely swing your clubs on lush green fields.
If you are passionate about cultural exploration, I can also customize tea culture and coffee tours for you. Yunnan is famous for its Pu’er tea, and you can visit tea gardens to learn about every step of the Pu’er tea process, from picking to roasting, and savor the fragrant tea. At the same time, Yunnan’s small bean coffee is unique in flavor, and you can experience the wonderful transformation of coffee from beans to a rich, aromatic cup in a coffee plantation.

Hello! My name is Adarling (Dan Han Ling, 但汉玲), and I am a passionate travel consultant at Yaso Trip. I graduated in 2025 from the School of Foreign Languages at Yunnan Minzu University, majoring in Translation. My university journey was marked by my leadership as the head of the Translation and Commentary Department, where I guided a team to facilitate communication between international students and our school community.
I am deeply passionate about travel and have always been fascinated by discovering new destinations, experiencing diverse cultures, and unearthing hidden gems around the world. Travel has always been a way for me to grow, both personally and professionally, as it broadens my horizons and enriches my life with new experiences.
Through my travels, I’ve explored a variety of cities such as Yunnan, Chongqing, Sichuan, Beijing, Hunan, and more. Each of these places has provided me with unique insights into the world, whether it’s through hiking rugged mountain trails, wandering historical landmarks, or immersing myself in the cultural practices and traditions of the local people. Every journey I embark on is a unique experience that deepens my understanding of different lifestyles and the beauty of nature.
Travel has not only opened my eyes to the incredible diversity of our world but also helped me connect with people from all walks of life. Each experience has left me with valuable lessons about resilience, appreciation for the environment, and the importance of cultural exchange. I am particularly fond of how travel challenges me to step out of my comfort zone and learn from the unexpected encounters I have along the way.
Whether it’s sampling street food in Beijing, relaxing by the serene lakes of Yunnan, or discovering the traditions of the Tibetan plateau, every trip provides an opportunity to grow in knowledge, empathy, and joy.
I am always eager to share my travel stories, tips, and advice with fellow explorers. I take great pleasure in helping others plan their own journeys, providing them with valuable insights into the best destinations, local cultures, and must-see spots. I encourage everyone to embrace the spirit of adventure and venture beyond their usual boundaries.
I firmly believe that travel is not just about visiting new places, but about immersing yourself in the experience and learning from each place you visit. That’s why I love to help others plan trips that will allow them to create memories that last a lifetime.
In addition to helping you plan your dream journey, I hope that through my work, I can encourage others to see the world through fresh eyes. Travel has an incredible way of connecting us all, and I believe that by exploring the world, we can build lasting connections with people across cultures.
If you share my love for travel, or if you’re looking for travel tips, or just want to chat about the adventures the world has to offer, feel free to reach out to me. I am always excited to discuss travel, exchange stories, and help fellow wanderers explore the charm of this beautiful world.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to connecting with you!
你好!我叫Adarling(但汉玲),是一名在Yaso Trip担任旅游顾问的热情旅行爱好者。我于2025年毕业于云南民族大学外语学院,主修翻译专业。在大学期间,我担任了翻译与解说部的负责人,带领团队与国际学生进行沟通和交流。
我对旅行充满热情,一直对发现新的目的地、体验不同的文化和探索世界各地的隐藏宝藏充满兴趣。旅行一直是我个人和职业成长的一部分,它拓宽了我的视野并丰富了我的生活经历。
通过旅行,我曾探索过云南、重庆、四川、北京、湖南等多个城市。每一段旅程都让我对世界有了独特的理解,无论是徒步穿越茂密的山脉,游览历史遗址,还是融入当地的传统文化,我总是力求让每一次旅行都成为充实而有意义的经历。
旅行不仅让我看到了世界的多样性,还帮助我与来自各行各业的人建立了联系。每一次旅行都让我学到了有关坚韧、环境的欣赏以及文化交流的重要性。我尤其喜欢旅行中让我走出舒适区,去学习和体验那些意想不到的相遇。
无论是在北京品尝街头小吃,还是在云南的宁静湖泊旁放松,或是探索藏区的传统,每一段旅程都为我提供了一个学习、理解和享受新事物的机会。
我非常乐意与其他旅行者分享我的旅行故事、建议和旅行心得。我特别享受帮助他人规划自己的旅行,向他们提供有关最佳目的地、当地文化和必去景点的宝贵信息。我鼓励大家拥抱冒险精神,勇敢走出舒适区,探索更多的世界。
我坚信旅行不仅仅是去到新的地方,而是要深入体验每一段旅程,从每一个地方中学到新的知识。我热衷于帮助他人规划能够留下美好回忆的旅行。
除了帮助你规划梦幻之旅,我还希望通过我的工作鼓励大家以全新的视角去看待世界。旅行有着独特的方式将我们所有人联系在一起,我相信通过探索世界,我们能够与来自不同文化的人建立持久的联系。
如果你和我一样热爱旅行,或者你正在寻找旅行建议,或者仅仅想聊聊世界上有哪些奇妙的旅行经历,欢迎随时联系我。我始终期待与您分享旅行的魅力,交流旅行故事,并帮助更多的旅行者探索这个美丽的世界。
