Yibang is one of the most famous ancient tea regions in Yunnan famous for its exceptional quality tea made from ancient tea trees. Altitude above sea level 850 - 1900 meters. Known for its aromatics, sweet taste, and strong Cha Qi this tea is considered as high-quality and hunted by many Pu'Er tea connoisseurs. Our Mao Cha is made from ancient tea trees grown at an altitude of about 1500-1900 m.
Spring harvest, traditional handmade processing.
Mao Cha translates as "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 that is ready to be steamed and pressed in case of Sheng (Raw) Pu'Er production or further fermentation process during Shu (Ripe) Pu'Er production. This type of tea is also used for blending and further storage before being pressed into 'cakes'.
