Under the Spotlight
About Our Tea
Old Village PuEr (OVP Tea) curates ultra-premium Pu-Erh tea from ancient Arbor trees, rooted in the remote highlands of Yunnan, China.
These rare trees—some centuries old—have been prized since imperial times for their purity, depth and health-giving properties.
Based in multicultural Singapore, we unite East and West to craft a Pu-Erh experience that is both timeless and modern.
Each tea cake is meticulously handmade, aged with care, and stored in ideal environments in Singapore to develop richness and complexity—just like a fine wine.
Expect a cup that is full-bodied, aromatic, soothing, and long-lasting in aftertaste.
Pu-Erh is more than tea. It is a lifestyle of refinement, clarity, and connection.
We are honoured to share this legacy with you.
Auction-Grade Aged PuEr Tea: The Pinnacle of PuEr
We specialize in offering auction-grade aged PuEr, the pinnacle of PuEr tea. These rare treasures are the result of time-honored techniques, using only the finest ancient tree leaves from Yunnan's most revered tea regions. Each tea embodies decades of careful aging and meticulous craftsmanship, making it a sought-after masterpiece for true connoisseurs.
The scarcity of this top-tier PuEr comes from limited availability of premium, aged tea leaves, and the knowledge required to blend them to perfection. Our long-standing relationships with trusted tea sources ensure the authenticity and quality of every batch we provide.
Inspired by the Grand tea masters like Mr. Pak Shui Ching, known as the "Godfather" of PuEr, we believe that only a perfect harmony of the finest leaves and expert craftsmanship can produce truly superior PuEr. Our offerings represent this philosophy—each tea an irreplaceable, timeless gem.
For those seeking the very best in aged PuEr, we offer exclusive access to auction-grade teas, renowned for their unparalleled depth, flavour, and aging potential.
The Essence of Ancient Arbor PuEr: A True Gourmet Brew
Since 2006, we have been dedicated to selecting only the finest hand-picked spring-harvested PuEr leaves from century-old ancient Arbor trees in the natural, wild forests of Yunnan’s 12 renowned PuEr mountains. Each tea is made from single-origin, unblended leaves—meaning no mixing of leaves from different mountains or different types of tea trees. This ensures that the unique characteristics of each region’s ancient arbour trees are fully preserved.
What sets us apart is how we handle the crucial step of post-fermentation. Our PuEr is professionally stored and aged in Singapore, where the unique environment enhances the tea’s natural fermentation. This careful aging brings out deep, complex flavors, rich aroma and wonderful after-taste, offering an exceptional and unforgettable tasting experience.
