Entirely Old Arbor tea from the Spring 2017 Harvest from He Tao Di Village in Jinggu County of Simao. He Tao Di (lit. Walnut Grove) Village is a tiny village (with just 11 households in total) that is located south-east of Jinggu town in a remote roadless area. 2 of the families are engaged in tea production and have been for several generations. The remainder of the villagers tend walnut groves.

The "He Tao Di Village" tea trees range in age from 40 to 200 years old growing at an altitude of about 1650 meters. The trees are pure assamica varietal (大叶种), with leaves that are large and stout, and have a deep olive-green color. This tea will brew up a perfectly balanced thick and pungent brew. Bitter, sweet, umami, honey, brine and orchid essence can be found in this wonderful tea.

Net Weight: 400 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)

Harvest time: April 2017

Harvest Area: He Tao Di Village, Jinggu County of Simao Prefecture (Yunnan Province)

sophisticated

"picked up a cake of this one after really digging the samples and a 2019 as well - has a very sophisticated taste, almost tastes a bit like walnuts actually, in a very good way - definitely recommended"

Almost Yiwu and for half the price!

"I've had this for about a year now and it has developed nicely. This has a nice body feel from the qi. It has a flavor profile and body that reminds me of Yiwu teas. There's a unique flavor combination of truffle, orchid, and brine that's unlike anything I have in my collection, so I grabbed a cake. It's an elegant tea for sure!"

A perfect tea!

"I have had this cake for about 1 week and am just blown away by it. If I had the money, I would certainly buy a tong. Before purchasing it, I had debated pretty significantly with myself on whether to buy this one or the 2017 Zhang Jia Wan, as they have almost identical descriptions in terms of the flavor, aroma, etc. I ended up purchasing a sample of that to go along with a full cake of the He Tao Di and I made the right choice. While they certainly share some similar characteristics, I find the He Tao Di to be far stronger in taste, it has far less astringency and is thicker in the mouth, and I also much prefer He tao Di's aroma. He Tao Di has more umami and is more briny, which is something I love about it. The aroma is hard to put a finger on, but is rather intoxicating. Nothing against the Zhang Jia Wan, as it is very delicious, but I far prefer the He Tao Di and can't recommend it enough."
