Nanjian ( 南涧 )
tea factory doesn't have a long tea producing history in Yunnan province, but it’s known their Phoenix(Fenghuang) Tuo Cha branded by Gu De. The factory has been established in 1985 and since then they started produce the Phoenix tuo cha. The tea factory is located Wu Liang shan ( Wuliang mountain ) ,so most of the tea material comes from growing around old and arbor tea trees.
Nice slightly bitter front taste will comfort your mouth with first sip. Golden yellow tea soup with pleasant bitter-sweet taste will start reveal its woody and light smoky notes during many infusions. Sweet mouth feel occurs right after the 2nd infusion. Nice vintage cake from early spring harvest of Wu Liang mountain.
Spring tea leafs from Wuliang mountain plantations located around 2400m alt. Hard pressed followed autumn into the 380g tea cake also known as 'tie bing' (steel cake) by Nanjian tea factory. Despite of "pu-erh fever" in 2007 year this cake has a relatively uniformed grade of tea material , since factory uses their own plantations.
