What Yunnan Craft is known for
Yunnan Craft, based in Kunming, sells sheng and shu pu-erh from mountains like Yiwu Shan and Menghai alongside wood-fired Jianshui purple-clay teapots, Yixing and Nixing pottery, and porcelain, ceramic or glass gaiwan sets.
Yunnan Craft sells out of Kunming, splitting its catalog between pu-erh tea and the regional pottery traditionally used to brew and age it. The tea side covers both sheng (raw) and shu (fermented) pu-erh, named to specific mountains such as Yiwu Shan and Menghai, offered as both single-origin sheng and blended sheng puer, with additional white and black teas and lots specifically labeled from wild tea trees or old arbor plantations rather than cultivated bushes - a distinction that matters to pu-erh drinkers tracking tree age and growing style. On the pottery side, the shop stocks hand-thrown Jianshui purple-clay teapots finished with wood-firing, alongside Yixing and Nixing wares, plus gaiwan in porcelain, ceramic and glass with matching cup sets - three different clay and material traditions rather than a single house style. A smaller line of traditional Chinese medicine herbs sits alongside the tea and teaware, extending the shop's regional-sourcing model past tea specifically. The business runs as a direct online retailer with multi-currency pricing in USD and CNY and international shipping, putting it in the same category as other Kunming-based exporters selling Yunnan pu-erh and Jianshui-area ceramics straight to buyers outside China rather than through a domestic-only shop.
