2023 Yunnan Sourcing "Ge Deng Village" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake
We are very excited to offer our very first ripe pu-erh tea from Ge Deng! This tea was wet-piled from 100% wild arbor tea from first flush of Spring 2022 Harvest from Ge Deng village (é©ē») in Yi Wu mountain range. Ge Deng is southwest from Yi Bang town and west-northwest from Yi Wu town. This is our third production from Ge Deng village! Ge Deng area teas are almost exclusively a mixed (small / large) varietal. This tea comes from wild arbor trees between 40 and 60 years old growing naturally. Having been harvested from a mixed varietal (large and small leaf) tea tree gives this tea unique sweet, but potent character, with a chocolate bitter taste to counter the sweetness.
We have delayed sales of this cake for more than 4 weeks to allow the water vapor from pressing to dissipate. Further aging will only improve this wonderful tea!
Harvest time: April 2022 (pressed in 2023)
Harvest Area: Ge Deng (village), Ge Deng area of the Yi Wu mountain range, Meng La county of Xi Shuang Banna
