To create the tea selection for this new chapter of our tea club, we descended the gentle slopes of Nannuo and crossed Mekong River heading East: it was the end of the rainy season and the roads were more bumpy than ever, yet the valleys surrounding us were breathtaking. We reached a strip of land that borders Laos: its main city is the ancient Yiwu, and here we watched the golden sunset over its surrounding peaks.
To celebrate the round and harmonious flavours that gave the prestigious name of "Queen of Pu'er Tea" to the starting point of the ancient Tea Horse Road, we selected eight Sheng pu’er teas (15 gr each), from different villages and vintages:
-
Bohetang 薄荷糖 - Pazhahe Village 帕扎河: big tea trees, spring harvest 2021
-
Tianmenshan 天门山 - Maba village 马叭: big tea trees, spring harvest 2023
-
Gaoshan village 高山寨: ecological tea trees, spring harvest 2023
-
Yiwu area 易武: ecological tea trees, spring harvest 2021
-
Guafeng village 刮风寨: big tea trees, spring harvest 2021
-
Tongqinghe 铜箐河 - Zhongshan village 中山寨: ancient trees, spring harvest 2023
-
Manzhuan area 蛮砖: ecological tea trees, spring harvest 2023
-
Walong village 瓦竜: ancient trees, spring harvest 2023
While brewing these leaves you can expect to dive into the three main flavour-areas of Yiwu: floral, honey, and wild, in addition to Manzhuan, the western side of Yiwu and a fellow among the Qing dynasty tributary ancient mountains.
As you receive your 8 tea samples, you will find a welcome letter with links to extensive content on the ancient and modern history of the area, geography and culture. You will then have access to a reserved community chat area where we continue to upload new contents, and you can share your own tasting notes, observations, and travel stories.
You will also have access to the informative material and the recording of the online webinar, where we discussed deep information about each village, and shared direct experiences of our trips on site.
Each chapter of our tea club will be available on our shop until the end of the first season, or until stocks last.
