Di Jie Village 地界 is in the area of Bingdao in Mengku area of Lincang.  Di Jie Village is well-known not just for it's proximity to Bingdao, but also for old tea trees which produce powerful and complex pu-erhs.  Di Jie is also a very high altitude area between 2000 and 2100 meters!

This tea was entirely processed by hand from start to finish.  Hand-frying, rolling done by hand, and of course carefully sun-dried. 

A total of 20 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.

Di Jie Village is located here!

Very good

"I have liked the autumn Mengku teas from YS so far and this one confirms the pattern. It is processed a little more on the greener side than I am used to with autumn teas. Initially the aroma is not particularly strong, but after the rinse there are notes of cabbage, high mountain forest, and chanterelle mushrooms. In the empty cup I can also smell beeswax and chrysanthemum. The rinse is yeasty, floral and mineral. Floral notes only intensify from then on. First proper infusion is also somewhat bitter, herbaceous and metallic. There is a distinct yellow bell pepper flavour. The aftertaste is cooling and pungent with hints of clover leaf and candies. Second infusion is then more astringent, savoury and sour with a noticeable umami. Flavours of goat cheese and dried limes is what I have noted down. Later steeps then also bring additional flavours – Angostura bitters and roasted lemon peel. The tea liquor is generally medium bodied with a slick and slightly chalky mouthfeel."

"Incredibly mouth-filling with notes of hay, umami, mushroom, and tobacco. It finishes for days. If you're looking for something to age or if you just like BIG young teas this is the one"
