2014 Yunnan Sourcing Bang Dong Village Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

Bang Dong Village (邦东寨) is located in the county Mengku, Lincang prefecture. Bang Dong is a small village situated at an altitude of 1600 meters.  Our production is made entirely from the tea picked by one family's small ancestral tea garden. The tea trees have 100-250 years of age and are growing naturally. Tea from Bang Dong has many of the typical Mengku characterisitics... a high level of aroma, strong and pungent cha qi and kind of flowery aroma.  When young this tea is somewhat astringent, with slight bitterness and a thick nutty sweet after-taste. A total of 40 kilograms in total was produced.  We pressed these tea cakes with a stone-press and used low-temperature drying to preserve the integrity of the tea.   Net Weight:  400 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)Harvest time:  Late March 2014Harvest Area:  Bang Dong village, Bang Dong county, Lincang PrefectureTotal Production amount:  40 kilograms     This tea has been tested in a certified laboratory for 42 pesticide
