By harvesting only the branches, the trees are allowed to grow back making this type of papermaking the most environmentally friendly in the world today. The process of making this paper combines Tang tree skin, wheat and rice straw and other wood fibers. The exact combination has been passed down over the years from one generation to another. The paper has a natural white color, is handmade for superior strength and is made for lasting art.
