MAO CHA FROM HUANG CAO BA ANCIENT TREES 2022

ORIGIN
Huang Cao Ba village in Jinggu country, is quite isolated area with a lot of ancient tea trees. Avarage altitude is about 1800 m above sea level. Since Qing Dynasty tea from these places was considered as 'Gong Cha' (Tribute Tea) and was tributed to emperor. This place is famous for its unique varietal called 'Mao Er Duo'. This rare varietal is not 'big leaf' like most Yunnan trees, neither 'small', but something middle. This tea is famous for its sweet and tender taste, with sweetest aftertaste. No astringency or bitterness, just pure pleasure of an ancient tree.

Mao Cha translates as a "rough tea" and means that this tea is unfinished and is in an intermediate stage of production. This term is used for a tea material which is ready to be steamed and pressed in case of Sheng Pu'Er production. This type of tea is used for blending and further storage before being pressed into 'cakes'.
