Description
Origin: The Eco-Perks of Smaller Mountains
Tea is sourced from small, ancient valleys in Lincang (same premium Pu’er eco-zone as Bingdao), free from over-harvesting and industrial pollution. Hills at 1,600-1,800m are covered in mist year-round; farmers use no pesticides, so leaves absorb rich minerals—resulting in a warmer, sweeter taste after fermentation.
Ingredients & Making: Cheap Doesn’t Mean Low-Quality
Ingredients: 100+-Year-Old Ancient Trees
- Plucking Standard: Hand-picked “1 bud + 2 leaves” in spring 2022—thick, juicy leaves, ideal for ripe Pu’er fermentation;
- Seven-Cake Shape: Traditionally stone-pressed, round and evenly compact (good for air circulation & aging), 357g/cake (matches Yunnan’s classic seven-cake standard).
Traditional Making: Gentle Fermentation
- Fermentation: 30+-day low-temperature pile fermentation, manually turned to control heat (no burnt taste), preserving the original ancient-tree flavor;
- Drying: Air-dried naturally (not machine-dried) to lock in mellow honey aroma, no strong fermented smell;
- Key Point: Follows Lincang’s traditional ripe Pu’er methods—same as expensive famous-mountain Pu’er, no shortcuts.
Each Tea’s Taste: Poetic Names, Clear Flavors
- Name Story: From ancient poems about “spring water brewing tea“—the brew feels as fresh as spring mountain streams.
- Taste: Moist aftertaste like spring rain, prominent honey aroma with light longan sweetness, smooth throat feel, no astringency;
- Brewing: 100℃ boiling water, 6g tea/100ml water, 10s first steep, brewable 12-15 times.
- Gets Better With Time: It will taste deeper in 3-5 years (you’ll get date or medicine flavors!). Just keep it in a cool, dry place.
Tea aging: About 357-gram Tea Cake
This classic weight standard originates from the traditional Pu’er tea specification established in 1735.
The number “3” symbolizes the “Three Talents (Heaven, Earth, and Man)”;
“5” represents the “Five Elements”;
and “7” symbolizes the “Big Dipper” — perfectly interpreting the cultural connotation of the unity of heaven and man.
This specification can promote balanced energy flow in the tea and achieve stable flavor transformation during storage.
