From Yunnan Sourcing

Entirely spring 2020 harvested tea from pure assamica bushes growing in Meng Song village. Meng Song village is northwest from the Nan Nuo mountains and is a very famous tea producing area in Menghai County of Xishuangbanna.

This is a fruity and sweet (like sugarcane juice) white tea that will improve wonderfully with age. Thick and viscous, it will go many steeps!

Cha Nong Hao Brand (lit. Tea Farmer Brand 茶农号) is a small project of Ms. Guo, a Yunnan local tea aficionado. She’s been involved in the Pu-erh tea world for many years but is finally doing her own small batch pressings of ripe and raw pu-erh teas that she has sourced through her many travels in the tea mountains of Yunnan!

April 2020 Harvest (pressed in December 20th, 2020)

250 Grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)

I have had this cake for a few years, but I only opened it today for the first time. Until now I would always go for the 2018 vintage. At some point, I should also do a side-by-side comparison.

The tea is really well-balanced and flavourful, and has a supple and smooth texture. At this price, one could hardly ask for more. The taste is quite sweet, but with many undertones – malt, wood, bitter, floral, citrus zest. The aftertaste has strong honey and apricot notes. A pleasant experience overall.
