2018 Yunnan Sourcing “Bang Dong Village” Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

Description

Bang Dong Village (邦东寨) is located in the county Mengku, Lincang prefecture. Bang Dong is a small village situated at an altitude of 1600 meters.  Our production is made entirely from the tea picked by one family’s small ancestral tea garden. The tea trees have 100-150 years of age and are growing naturally.

Tea from Bang Dong has many of the typical Mengku characterisitics… a high level of aroma, strong and pungent cha qi and kind of flowery aroma.  When young this tea is somewhat astringent, with slight bitterness and a thick nutty sweet after-taste.

A total of 60 kilograms in total was produced.  We pressed these tea cakes with a stone-press and used low-temperature drying to preserve the integrity of the tea.
