From Yunnan Sourcing

Entirely wild arbor tea from first flush of Spring 2023 Harvest from Ge Deng village (革登) in Yi Wu mountain range. Ge Deng is southwest of Yi Bang town and west-northwest of Yi Wu town. This is our third production from Ge Deng village! Ge Deng area teas are almost exclusively a mixed (small / large) varietal. This tea comes from ancient arbor trees between 60 and 100 years old growing naturally. When brewing the tea you will notice the tea soup is a bright yellow-gold and clear, the aroma is penetrating and the tea is full in the mouth. Being a typical mixed (large and small) leaf varietal makes this is one of the more smooth and aromatic of the Yi Wu area teas. The brewed leaves are thick and stout with a dark olive-green color, attesting to their wild arbor origin. This tea was compressed in a small tea factory in Yi Wu town where unusually large 40 kilogram stone presses were used. Low temperature (35C) “baking” was used to dry these cakes after the compression process thus preserving their integrity!

In total just 30 kilograms of this tea has been produced!

Harvest time: April 2023

Harvest Area: Ge Deng (village), Ge Deng area of the Yi Wu mountain range, Meng La county of Xi Shuang Banna

Just 30 kilos in total produced! (120 cakes)

250 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo tong)

This tea has only a light bitterness, but a lot of sugar beet sweetness. It has a smooth and silky mouthfeel and its aftertaste is a bit sour and very floral.

Specific aromas remind me of conifer forest, butter, mint, and carrot cake. In terms of flavours, there are many vegetal ones, such as broccoli, spring onion, celery stalk, and bell peppers.
