Early spring 2024 material from 60 to 80 year old tea trees (老太地/野放茶) growing wild in the area of Ba Da mountain called "Elephant Mountain". The Ba Da mountains are not far from Menghai town in Xishuangbanna. Ba Da mountain teas are unique and rarely pressed in this "single-estate" style, rather they are typically blended with other area teas.

Our pure Ba Da tea is unique with hints of tobacco and pine in early infusions. There is definitely some bitterness present that will remind some of Bu Lang, but it is countered by a fruit and pine needle taste and aroma.

A thoroughly enjoyable Ba Da experience!

Net Weight:  250 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)
Harvest Area:  Elephant Mountain area in the Ba Da Mountains, Menghai County of Xishuangbanna Prefecture (Yunnan)
Total Production amount:  80 kilograms

This tea has been tested in a certified laboratory and has passed the MRL limits for 404 pesticide residues as established by the EU Food and Safety commission. For more information about MRL testing and the EU Food and Safety commission click on this link.

Blind buy surprise!

"While browsing for products to include in my last YS order, this Ba Da mountain caked popped up and impulsively I added it to my cart. Honestly, I only did so because I really liked the wrapper. The description was not of something I would enjoy much, with those tobacco notes and Bulang reminiscent bitterness. So I did not have great expectations for it. Today I finally tried it. And I must say it way quite the surprise! The tea is like a gentle giant. Taste is mellow but powerful at the same time, very well balanced, and a lot is going on. Each infusion is different, developing on the previous one. There were only very slight hints of tobacco in the beginning, nice pine needle honey and peach and the most unusual thing: taste like Snowdrop flower aroma! There were no bitterness and no astringency, only pure bliss! It was very mood uplifting! Prepared in my Yixing Lao Zi Ni teapot: 8g, 160ml, 95oC, 20s wash, 10s + 10s."
