SHENG PU'ER FROM BING DAO ANCIENT TREES 2017
ORIGIN
Bing Dao is one of the most famous ancient tea tree areas in the north of Mengku, Lincang, Yunnan. The history of this tea started at least 500 years ago when the Dai ethnic group began to cultivate tea on this land. Due to its high quality, unique character, and sweet taste, this tea was appreciated by the local aristocracy and was drunk during international events. All these aspects made tea from Bing Dao very famous. Nowadays, Bing Dao is one of the most expensive raw materials for sheng pu'er production. 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 in the mountainous terrain, characterized by high elevations ranging 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.
ABOUT
This tea is sourced from trees over 250 years old, at over 2,100 meters above sea level altitude. Bing Dao unique environment contributes to the tea's robust qualities, enhancing its energy "Qi" and health benefits. Each cake is meticulously pressed into a 200g format, allowing for significant aging. Bing Dao Pu'Er tea is celebrated for its vibrant and complex flavor. 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. High-quality Bing Dao can develop rich complexity and depth over the years, attracting collectors and aficionados who appreciate the aging process.
ORGANOLEPTICS
This exquisite Pu'Er is crafted from large, whole leaves that have gracefully matured over more than seven years, deepening in color and complexity. The tight compression preserves its integrity, yet the tea breaks apart effortlessly with a knife, revealing its storied character.
The dry leaves exude a delicate fusion of vegetal and woody aromas. Warmed, the bouquet unfurls into luscious honeyed notes, freshly baked bread, and a whisper of umami-rich soy. A gentle rinse awakens even greater depth: a rich, golden honey fragrance with hints of resinous spruce, dried plump, sun-dried prunes, and the tangy-sweet warmth of rustic sourdough.
This tea is an elegant revelation on the palate, silky smooth with a natural honeyed sweetness. Its amber colour infusion carries remarkable depth, evolving through multiple steepings, each unveiling new layers of refined woodiness. The texture is soft, leaving a long, lingering sweetness and a whisper of aged wood on the tongue. More than just a tea, this Bing Dao Pu'Er is an experience that warms the soul and harmonizes the senses. Free from harsh bitterness or excessive astringency, it is a testament to ancient tea trees' purity. Its noble, well-balanced character is the hallmark of true craftsmanship, promising to enchant even the most discerning Pu'Er connoisseurs.
