Our second production from Bing Dao village. We have produced other teas from neighboring villages but last Autumn we met a grower that had excellent tea from wild and natural tea garden in Bing Dao village.  We are back again with his lovely tea!

The tea is from 100-200 year old tea trees growing naturally and no pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used. As with all our Autumn 2013 and onward productions they have been tested in a lab for pesticide residues. This is a pure tea both in material and taste.

The brewed tea is highly aromatic and cooling in the mouth and throat. There is a thickness to it and a bitterness that immediately transforms in nectar-like sweetness. Cha Qi is strong but pleasant and energizing.

 

Vintage: October 2014 material, November 2014 pressing

Quantity: 120 cakes in total produced (48 kg)

Area: Bing Dao village, Mengku County, Lincang Prefecture

 

This tea has been tested in a certified laboratory for 42 pesticides, and is within the EU MRL limits set for those 42 pesticide residues. For a full list of the 42 pesticides we tested for and more information about MRL testing and the EU Food and Safety commission click on this link.

A Perfect Bing Dao

"Love this tea. A true representation of Bing Dao’s liveliness. Perfect for a rainy morning. :)"

— Amy H. (5/5)

Spicy and enjoyable

"I am fairly new to young raw pu-erh but have enjoyed most of the samples I have purchased. This one is quite enjoyable. It brews up light gold, clear, and is a very aromatic tea which I found somewhat brothy, spicy, vegetal. The flavor is likewise brothy, spicy, and a touch of menthol. Mouthfeel has a slight astringency in a good way, medium full, full palate experience with a bit of spiciness or heat that I have also had in other young pu-erh. This is quite smooth and very drinkable, full flavored with a satisfying, spicy and inviting aftertaste."

Pure, thick, powerful, and subtle

"The first few steeps provide clear indicators of the tea’s alleged origins. It’s thick in the mouth and clear pale gold in the cup. It has good depth, penetrating cooling, sweet hay, bittersweet, sharp florals, sencha, white pine resin, green apple, chardonnay grape skins, pine wood, and a strong mouthfeel. Serious huigan. Lingering sharp floral and white grape skin notes leave a slight drying in the mouth followed by a salivating effect. Mid steeps get thicker and the bitterness of wild herbs comes to the fore with more intense huigan. After the 9th steep or so, the tea becomes a lot more floral buttery. The sweet grassy aromas become wild flower fragrance and is very present in the empty cup. This is my kind of tea. I think I found a Nan Po Zhai replacement, as it shares many similarities."
