Big Snow Mountain
Regular price $185.00
The subtle earthy flavor. Each sip leaves a good upwards energy lingering behind.
Big Snow Mountain, fueling a new generation of artists and creators.
Big Snow Mountain in Chinese is Da Xue Shan (大雪山) and is a name that resonates in the minds of many fans of puerh tea.
Big Snow Mountain holds Chen Xiang Qi.
Chen Xiang (沉香) is a Chinese medicinal plant that produces fragrant wood under a pathological condition called Chen Xiang. It's also known as agarwood, chàhm hēung, or aquilaria sinensis, which is endemic to China.
Chen Xiang is bitter, warming, and drains to help the kidneys grasp Qi. It enters the stomach, lung, and spleen meridians, expels wind, eliminates dampness, and strengthens the spleen. It treats diarrhea, vomiting, stomachache, and wind-cold. However, it's contraindicated during pregnancy and in cases of internal heat due to Yin Deficiency.
Chen Xiang is the name of a type of Pu-erh tea that has aged to achieve the "Chen Xiang" sought after by Pu-erh connoisseurs.

Ancient Ancestor
Regular price $180.00
Walking a path of its own, Ancient Ancestor is one of the industry's most unique black teas, being in a cake form, unlike usual black teas, which are kept loose.
The Ancient Ancestor cake feels solid in hand. The tea is condensed enough that it doesn't crumble everywhere. Yet it is loose enough that it is easy to hand break off a piece.
The taste is unmistakable. Once it reaches your palette, you receive a flavorful memory of serenity and calm. That flavor will never be forgotten. This tea is one of a kind.

Testimonials
The blessings may continue through the brew
All of these Puers feel like they are from the same family. They're energetically so special. You can tell they came from good years, good people, good energy and good earth. All the hands it came through were happy hands and the blessings may continue through the brew. Each tea has a different spirit, yet all of them are uplifting, a profound comfort where the deepest hydration and medicine are felt. These tea's have all had healing effects on my life.

ground, center, expand
Plants are our teachers and these teas have taught me so much. What I love about the curation of these clean and deliciously subtle teas is the focus on energetics. These teas, used in a ceremonial context, have been a great aid in my meditation practice, helping me to ground, center, expand, and pay attention to what's going on right in front of me, and inside my body.

Relate To The Unknown
You never know exactly what to expect when experiencing something for the first time. With tea, every sip allows us to relate to the unknown. Eventually, we can trust and befriend, rather than fear and avoid it.
Puer is always unique and complex. No harvest or brew is quite the same as another. Over the weeks, months, years, both we and the tea change with age. More sensitivity to subtlety grows. Greater appreciation for wider perception — of the sweet and bitter, of the earthy and woody, of the mountains and valleys — of life is the shift and gift.
This is Zen and tea, the way of awakening awareness to the beauty in and around us.Paul (Acupuncturist)![]()

What is puerh tea?
Puerh is a type of fermented tea traditionally produced in the Yunnan province of China. Known for its unique flavor and aging process, Puerh tea undergoes a fermentation and aging process that can last from several months to many years. This process gives the tea its characteristic dark color and rich, earthy taste, which can become more complex and refined over time.
There are two main types of Puerh tea: Raw (Sheng) and Ripe (Shou). Raw Puerh is made from tea leaves that are sun-dried and then compressed into cakes, bricks, or other shapes, and allowed to naturally ferment and age over time. Ripe Puerh, on the other hand, undergoes an accelerated fermentation process to simulate the aging of Raw Puerh.
Puerh tea is highly valued not only for its taste but also for its health benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing cholesterol, and improving cardiovascular health. It is often enjoyed by tea connoisseurs, acupuncturists, healers, yoga teachers and collectors, with aged Puerh teas fetching high prices on the market.
Behind the tea today
Meet Anoah East Wang
Since I was born, tea has been in my life.
I spent my childhood in Yunnan China with my family, living with the lands that tea originated from.
Now I continue to bear the torch of our tea lineage through Pure Land Tea.

Our Founders Story
Mission
Master Wang was a healer first. His goal was to create fundamental lifestyle changes in people's lives. It began as a Chinese medicine clinic in San Francisco and evolved into a temple space called Medicine Buddha, finally tea came into his life and that is how we have Pure Land Tea.
Ceremony
Master Wang held tea ceremonies for the community, and passed forward wisdom and teachings from the Yunnan culture and people to many people. He brought the community together around sustainable construction projects, building a teahouse and permaculture space with the help of community. He called this karma yoga and believed that by recycling trashed materials he was clearing our past karma.
Genesis
Master Wang was born with an indigenous sense and understanding of tea and its special powers on people and culture. He grew up in a very traditional Chinese Buddhist family in a small village called Teng Chong in Yunnan China. Being steeped in tradition, he knew the power of rituals, and he brought that wisdom with him wherever he went. He could hold space in ways that changed peoples whole lives. He gave people permission to heal and believe in themselves again.
Honor the tea masters
What we love about tea is that is brings appreciation of art, history, time and culture all into one moment.
Tea is the oldest beverage in the world, and so it stands on the shoulders of many giants.
Because of their thousands of years of love and care for the tea trees and land in Yunnan we can enjoy these teas today.
We follow their example and vow to take care of the tea trees and lands so all of our future children can enjoy the same quality of tea as us.

Our Origin Story
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Students and lovers of tea know that a significant part of its beauty is in the preparation, patience, and wellness that it allows into our daily lives. So it is fitting that the story of Zen and Tea and its founder, Wang Hong, involves all of these things.
Master Wang cherished and lived out the beauty of his homeland’s puer tea, even as a transplant here to the United States. His commitment to health and education had its roots in the tea trees of Yunnan Province.
