Lao Yu (老妪) : Old Woman Tea
Material for this cake came from a small Bulang village in Bada mountain. This village has a very small number of tea trees that grow in the forest. The trees are relatively old, but farmers cut the branches when trees get too tall. Tea trees are kept at easy-picking height because the tea is picked and made by old women in this village. They follow ancient ways to produce tea. Many of them make tea only for themselves. We selected and bought good materials from different families. They picked one bud and two leaves. This tea is a nice example of the old-time puer tea and traditions of Bulang minority. The taste of this tea is full; strong with bitterness; huigan is fast and sweet.
