Nan Po Zhai is the closest village to Bing Dao village in the county of Mengku.  It lies 2km from Bing Dao village in a roadless area filled with centuries old tea trees.  Nan Po tea is typically sold as Bing Dao as it's quite similiar, but not the same.  We are happy to offer this incredibly powerful and textured tea from the first flush of Spring 2017.

Powerful and subtle

"Cha Qi, strength in the mouth, high aroma. Goes 12 steeps for me. I can feel it's proximity to Bingdao!"

Even more vegetal - very Green tea like!

"I nearly tasted all of the Lincang samples and this buddy here is by far the most similar to green tea. In some ways a fine mix between a very fresh young Sencha (Shincha) and a fresh Taiping Houkui! The vegetal note of artichokes and Brussel sprouts plus a fine citrus peppery touch to it is quite nice but does not indicate much to be a raw Sheng! Don't get me wrong - this fine tea is definitely highly enjoyable but in this case I also need to compare it to the other fellows I already tested - and in comparison this one isn't my absolute favorite! The aftertaste is also a lovely part of its composition and in some way mouthwatering which is normally the case in the beginning as in the echo but this is a very unique and also an enjoyable aspect of this raw fellow. Within this aftertaste you finally can also taste the fruity aspects of pear skin, grape skin all with a bit of fruit pulp to it but more within its skin! There is also a stronger mineral stony aspect to it which feels like if you take fresh spring water and add some river stones to it. Again seeing it as an individual this buddy is definitely recommendable but comparing it with the whole set for me it isn't a 100% winner - more like 88% ;) More Reviews & Photos at https://www.instagram.com/zerozen_artlab/"
