2012 Yunnan Sourcing “Wan Gong Zhai Autumn” YiWu Raw 250g
Wan Gong Zhai is a small village to the north and east of Yi Wu town just north of Gua Feng Zhai right on the Yunnan Laos border. To the north is “Yi Shan Mo”. All three of these villages compose the highest altitude tea areas of the Yi Wu mountains. The relative remoteness of Wan Gong Zhai, which is accessible only by a narrow dirt track, has helped preserve its pure and clean environment. This cake is made entirely from large-leaf varietal ancient arbor tea trees. Wan Gong tea will make you re-think what “Yi Wu” tea is with its intense cha qi and balanced bitter/astringent profile! This tea was compressed in a small tea factory in Yi Wu town where unusually large 40 kilogam stone presses were used. In total only 20 kilograms of this tea has been produced.
