2011 Jinggu Cloud Mountain Old-Tree Spring Raw 250g
Pure big tree(arbor) Pu Er tea, tea trees aged from 200-500 years old. This tea is from the remote and abandoned tea mountains in Jinggu county. This tea mountain, called as the Cloud Mountain, is located the west of Jinggu county, around 2 hours drive from the downtown to the mountain. The road to this tea mountain is the most bumpy and cliffy I ever encountered in Yunnan. It is lucky the day I went to the mountain was sunshine, otherwise, once raining, ever the 4WD truck can’t climb the slippery cliffy mountain road.
This tea mountained was cultivated by Wai minority in Jinggu around 400 hundred years old; Due to the unconvenience of living in high mountain, the Wai minority has already moved down to the foot of this mountain one hundred years ago. Thus, no one remembers this tea mountain, until 3 years ago, we just discovered this wild-growing tea mountain.
Like many Jinggu’s old tree, its new tea’s taste is quite common, if compared to Menghai’s tea, people would think it is not as strong as Menghai’s old tea. So this is the misterious part of Jinggu tea, probably its climate, soil, as the tea ages, the Chaqi becomes stronger and stronger, its taste is thicker and thicker. Jinggu’s tea is famous for its wild-honey aroma mixed with wild-flower aroma as well.
