2025 Yunnan Sourcing "Ba Da Snake" Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake
Early-spring 2025 material from 60–80-year-old naturally grown trees (老太地 / 野放茶) on the southern slope of Ba Da Mountain, not far from Menghai (Xishuangbanna). Ba Da is a distinctive corner of Menghai, often blended away rather than presented solo, so this single-area pressing gives a rare, unfiltered look at Ba Da’s voice: pine and tobacco hints in the opening steeps, firm but clean bitterness, and a fruit + pine-needle sweetness underneath.
