Spring tea leafs from arbor trees in Wu Liang mountain , processed by hand and pressed into medium press tea cake in Qi Li village by local master. Honey aroma from brewed tea leaves are combined with flowery notes when drinking and breathing out through your nose. Fruity base taste as part of the good ageing is present of course and sweet liqour...
Spring harvest Mengku tea is pressed by stone in into the 500g cake. The name "Ben Wei Da Cheng " freely translated as The Original Flavor is The Best One , and this cake is very close but not exactly as we use to drink from Rongshi tea company at their factory in Megku. Tea liquor with chrysanthemum fragrance reminding famous Bing Dao tea, yet with some...
The autumn tea material from young arbor tea trees growing in Mengku area near Meng E village , where fresh tea leafs were processed by local master and later hard pressed in Lincang tea factory into the cake 357g. Very vivid notes of persimmon ( easy said - astringent ) are in present during many infusions which boosting emerging "hui gan" sweetness...
quite bitter with the first two infusions but slight sweetness comes after second-third brewing and so as color. Its a good daily drinker for decent price.

It gives overall bitter-sweet mouthfeel, not just in parts of the tongue ( like under, front, back etc. ) and slides into the noticeable "hui gan" after. After few steepings sweet sensation is...
Blend of young arbors from around Bing Dao аrеа with another tea from Shuang Jiang tea gardens. We can't say for sure how much of Bingdao is involved but characteristics are there. Intensive honey and chrysanthemum fragrance from the cup or pitcher and reflected in taste after in clear tea liquor which is not much astringent with slight bitter end....
The medium rich tea liquor with dark chocolate bitter notes and very slight astringency , light "dui wei" which to be gone soon.. Not really hard pressed 357g cake needs around 3 infusions when all will start happening after. This is not a marathon tea runner but you can get out of it few solid infusions which would , in our opinion , qualify for good...
Yellow leafs from small arbor tea trees growing in Mengku area pressed into the 1kg brick wrapped in bamboo leaf. Medium-dark Lincang fermentation without excessive smokiness as it would be typical for that area, yet gentle notes are in present. Late afternoon or evening drinker for those who seek light , yet sweet and warming tea without earthy notes....
Spring harvest from Mengku young arbor tea trees. Combination new concept of processing "xin gong yi" ( more in blog ) and storage in the place of production , helped to tea leafs loose some astringency which would be normally much stronger in this type / age of tree. Transformation / aging from very green estate is already in taste and with right brewing...
