Origin and Concept: The "Mu Shu Cha" series, initiated in 2005, is a tribute to the original tea essence of the Bing Dao tea region. During its inception, Bing Dao was characterized by its remoteness and challenging accessibility due to rugged terrain and inadequate roads. However, this isolation provided an ideal environment for tea trees, with minimal pollution and human interference, resulting in soil rich in nutrients conducive to tea growth.
Mr. Rong Jiasheng, the visionary behind MKRS, established the first tea processing facility in Bing Dao, pioneering the transformation of this region into a celebrated contributor to the puerh tea world. The name "Mother Tree" symbolizes the belief that puerh tea trees originated from Bing Dao, underscoring its historical significance.
