Ancient Tree

There is no hard and fast categorisation for Broad Leaf Camelia Sinensis Assamica trees. Puerist teas are classified as follows:

Ancient Trees/gu shu – Trees over 100 – 120 years old

Old Trees/da shu – Trees that are over 70-80 years old but are unlikely to be gu shu

Small Trees/qiao mu – trees that are less than 60-70 years old, but generally speaking, at least 20 years old, and are trees with a central trunk – i.e. not bushes.
