In August, mist drifts slowly through the tea mountains of Dingfeng Village in Ya'an. This land, known as the "Panda Ecological Tea Mountain," is where Panda Tea (PandaTea) began.

Founded by An Yanshi, an eco-minded artist celebrated for his panda calligraphy, Panda Tea rests on a simple yet moving idea—recycling giant pandas' bamboo-based droppings into natural organic fertilizer that nourishes the tea gardens. Using the treasure of the nation to tend the leaf of the nation, the brand draws animals, people and nature into a quiet Eastern harmony over a cup of tea.

Since its founding, Panda Tea has drawn ongoing coverage from global media including AFP, AP, Reuters, the BBC, CCTV, China News Service and Xinhua, becoming a distinctive star ambassador of Sichuan and Chinese culture. The brand holds to a "no loose-leaf" anti-counterfeiting standard: every gift package carries An Yanshi's original eco-themed panda calligraphy and is protected by intellectual property rights.

From the misty ecological tea mountains of Ya'an to tea tables around the world, Panda Tea tells the story of China's ecology and culture—one gentle leaf at a time.
