SHENG PU'ER FROM BING DAO ANCIENT TREES 2014
ORIGIN
The history of Bing Dao tea dates back centuries, intertwining with the traditions of the Naxi ethnic minority who have inhabited the region for generations. The area was historically a part of ancient tea horse routes, which facilitated trade between Yunnan and Tibet. This trade not only spread the consumption of tea across borders but also established Bing Dao as a crucial stop for high-quality Pu'Er tea. The Bai and Naxi people cultivated tea trees in Bing Dao, often planting them in the wild. The area is home to ancient tea trees, some over a thousand years old, contributing to the region's reputation for quality. In the early 2000s, Bing Dao tea gained international recognition, attracting tea enthusiasts and collectors and further solidifying its esteemed status.
Bing Dao is situated in the mountainous terrain of the Lijiang region, characterized by high elevations that range from 1,500 to 2,200 meters. This high-altitude environment and the region’s subtropical climate create ideal conditions for tea cultivation. The tea gardens benefit from nutrient-rich soil and abundant rainfall, promoting the healthy growth of the tea plants. The region's biodiversity is also a significant factor in the unique flavors of Bing Dao tea. Covered with diverse flora, including ancient wild tea trees. The mountainous landscape provides a natural habitat for various wildlife, further enhancing the ecological balance that supports tea cultivation.
Raw Bing Dao Pu'Er tea is celebrated for its vibrant and complex flavor profile. It often exhibits floral notes and a sweetness that evolves over time. The mouthfeel is smooth, and the tea typically has a clean finish with light astringency. The aroma of Bing Dao tea is robust and fragrant, often likened to fresh greens, flowers, and even honey. With time, the raw Pu-erh develops deeper, more complex aromas that can include earthy and woody notes. Like all Pu-erh teas, Bing Dao tea improves with age. High-quality Bing Dao raw tea can develop rich complexity and depth over the years, attracting collectors and aficionados who appreciate the aging process.
ORGANOLEPTICS
The dry tea leaves exude a delightful honey, plum, and wood aroma. This intensely rich flavor reflects the high-quality raw materials used in crafting this cake and is accompanied by a sweet, marmalade-like fragrance. After rinsing, the leaves reveal an even more fragrant and delicate scent, showcasing strong yet gentle notes of honey, vanilla, and baked apple. The infusion presents a beautiful light amber color that can vary depending on the steeping time and water temperature.
The taste is sweet, featuring hints of dried fruits, caramelized sugar, and a subtle touch of wood. It offers a profound depth of flavor with a long-lasting aftertaste, accompanied by a noticeable menthol sensation. This tea possesses what is often referred to as "impact force," a unique experience where the taste travels from the back of the tongue to the tip. Bing Dao tea's remarkable strength and richness are concentrated in the middle of the tongue's surface.
Due to its rising popularity, authentic Bing Dao sheng pu'er has become increasingly rare to find. I am thrilled to offer you the opportunity to enjoy genuine Bing Dao at a special price, and I hope you will appreciate it as much as I do. When I savor this tea, I often reflect on the significance of high-quality raw leaves, where the noble character and gentle taste create a sense of well-being and tranquility.
