Origin & Terroir

The Da Xue Shan region encompasses several high-altitude zones, including Bangdong, Yongde, and Bangma. The tea trees grow at altitudes of 2,200 to 2,750 meters, with low average temperatures and high rainfall. These conditions result in thick, nutrient-rich leaves and a distinct flavor profile within the Pu-erh world.

Taste & Character

The dry leaves are dark green, tightly rolled, with clearly visible buds. The infusion produces a clear orange-yellow cup. The taste is slightly bitter at first, but quickly transforms into a distinct, long-lasting sweetness (Hui Gan). The texture is soft, smooth, and pleasant, with a good mouthfeel and throat feel. The tea is well-balanced, natural, and very enjoyable to drink.

Development & Potential

This Sheng tea is not only impressive in its current state, but also offers good aging potential. Ziran Cang consciously emphasizes that the teas are both immediately enjoyable and allow room for later development.

Preparation instructions

Recommended for use in a gaiwan (approx. 150 ml).
Guideline: approx. 8–9 g tea, water approx. 95 °C.
Short infusions (5–10 seconds) bring out the clarity, sweetness, and balance particularly well. The tea has a long brewing time and is suitable for many infusions.
