The other side of tea

Tree hundred years old tea trees come from the Baoshan mountains, in the surroundings of the Lancang River, located in the western part of Yunnan province. The tea comes from a large leaf cultivar tree, which is from small family production by Mr. Yu Hongwen whom we had the pleasure to visit during our trip to Yunnan. We spend a few days in his little factory, watching and learning the secrets of the process of making his Puerh teas. Of course, we also drank a lot of tea together. Providing an exhilarating and energizing experience, the taste and aroma of the tea are full of wild flowers’ pollen, precious wood, and summer fruits, clearly mineral with a sweet aftertaste. This time the tea was pressed into a two-hundred-gram cake. This tea is perfect for long-term aging.
