about Us

In a world full of shortcuts and compromises, Denong Tea pursues eternity through our premium Pu'er tea. Ancient Pu'er tea trees were born in the mountains of Yunnan, carrying countless centuries of secrets and history - these ancient trees account for less than three percent of the tea trees in Yunnan Province, and are the only areas where they can thrive. The oldest of these ancient trees are over 2,700 years old, and we firmly believe that their leaves produce the best Pu'er in the world.


It is this timeless discovery that gives us purpose and inspiration. We consider ourselves the guardians of the best Pu'er in the world, the gatekeepers to ancient time and space. Every year, we travel hundreds of miles to the famous Pu'er Mountains to rediscover the best quality tea. Like fine wine, good Pu'er tea has ever-changing ingredients and flavors, always growing in quality and complexity. Whether you choose to enjoy our exquisite tea now, or treasure it and watch its value soar, we hope you will join Denong Tea in our pursuit of quality, health and virtue.

In 1998, our parent company Denong Tea Company began tea-related trading in Yunnan Province, China. In 2005, the company expanded and began producing, storing, trading and auctioning high-quality Pu'er tea. We quickly received many industry awards from tea experts and gained the respect of our customers and peers in the Pu'er tea industry. After achieving success in mainland China, Denong Tea opened branches in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Around the world, the name Denong has come to represent a guarantee of quality and dignity. Denong Tea Company established its U.S. branch in 2012 and officially opened it in March 2016. Since then, we have been committed to sharing the wonders of quality Pu'er with American tea drinkers and opened our flagship store in Pasadena, California on November 11, 2017.
