Ben Wei Da Cheng means something like "Creating the Original Taste".  The question is a good one.  There are so many tea growing areas in Yunnan producing quality teas, but each is different.  When we drink pu-erh tea we know this is pu-erh.  The owner of Mengku tea factory Mr, Rong (pictured on the wrapper) wanted to create an iconic raw pu-erh tea cake that was balanced, full-bodied and pure.  His creation is this unique Certified Organic blend.

Yunnan Shuang Jiang Mengku 云南双江勐库 : Shuangjiang Mengku is a company that was established in 1999 in the city of Shuangjiang, which means Double River, in Mengku county of Lincang 临沧 prefecture. The predecessor was a state-owned Shuangjiang Factory that was established in 1974. Their teas have become renowned for both their distinct crisp tastes and reasonable prices. The name of their factory is Rongshi (戎氏) and so they sometimes also produce teas under the Mengku Rongshi label. Presently, they have become one of the top tea producers in the country. Mengku's classic recipes include "Mu Shu Cha", "Wild Arbor King", and "Spirit of Tea" and are typically produced each and every year!

Good raw pu-erh tea

"Good raw pu-erh tea, interesting discovery, taste of earth and fresh tea, pleasant to drink"

MARTIN Y. (4/5)

Good tea for a long session

"This tea was well balanced throughout 10+ steeps at about 20-30 second each. Sweet, slightly grassy, and lightly astringent but not overpowering in any of those flavors. Nice and uplifting."

Mengku is over us

Konstantin S. (5/5)

Mengku is love

"I litteraly fell in love with this tea. It's really balanced, but tends to be fruitier and juicier up front. It can be brewed for a long session. And even with a low water to leaf ratio, it can still push out magnificent results. A quality tea for everyone to enjoy now, or to age for the long run. Grab it while it's affordable !"
