MAO CHA from XI GUI ANCIENT TREES 2023

ORIGIN
This tea has been known for several centuries. Xigui village is located in Da Xue Shan area. This place is one of the most famous mountainous areas in Yunnan province. Due to a high altitude tea from this area is considered as one of the most high-quality in a whole Yunnan with its unique character and taste. Tropical monsoon forest and altitude about 850 meters above sea level are the perfect environment for hundred years old tea trees to grow.

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'.
